SOLVED !!! Import Excel Null column problem

Zack.LMar 4 2007 — edited May 11 2007
Hi all,

Import data from Excel is fine as long as there's is no column in target table that
is Varchar2(1) and Null allowable.

If there's the above type, the DML for the insert always replace the null column with
'NULL' resulting in SQL Error:ORA-12899: value too large for column (actual: 4, maximum: 1).

Had check preferences setup and could not find option relating to this.

Btw, am using Verion 1.1.1.25, on Windows XP, 10GR2 database also on same PC.
Had use the Export Data to export above table's data and
had checked the XLS file in Excel and the null column is indeed display as blank and use the Import Data-Excel, to import same XLS file back to database.

Pls advise and thanks in advance.
