ORA-12899: value too large for column (actual: 30, maximum: 25)

deltanovDec 8 2014 — edited Dec 9 2014

I try to insert values from one table into another  using substr(column_x,1,25)  (target field is varchar (25)) and I get an error:ORA-12899: value too large for column (actual: 30, maximum: 25) How is that possible?
