What is Column Buffer area?

WilhelmJul 31 2007 — edited Jan 13 2010
What on earth is Column Buffer area? How do i increase it?
While issuing a simple SELECT query i received the error ORA-01406 fetched column value was truncated . It is a 9i Error. The solution for this mentioned in documentations is : Action: Increase the column buffer area to hold the largest column value or perform other appropriate processing .

The weird thing is , this query works on our sample database, Oracle version 9.2.0.5.0 . But it doesn't work in our client site on the same version (9.2.0.5.0) .

Any thoughts?
