SQL & PL/SQL :: Character String Buffer Too Small?
Dec 14, 2012
I'm trying to create a table with a select statement. I want to populate this new table with the aggregated value from a VIEW. Following is the code used for creating the VIEW,
create or replace view FINAL_WEB_LOG
as
select SESSION_ID,
SESSION_DT,
C_IP,
CS_USER_AGENT,
tab_to_string(CAST(COLLECT(web_link) AS t_varchar2_tab)) WEBLINKS
from web_views_tab
group by C_IP, CS_USER_AGENT, SESSION_DT;
I want to create a table with WEBLINKS and SESSION_ID which is a sequence from another table.
CREATE TABLE FINAL_WEB
AS
SELECT weblinks
FROM final_web_log
UNION
SELECT session_id
FROM WEB_VIEWS_TAB;
This now gives me the following error,
SQL Error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
This has to do with the field, Weblinks, it does have longer values.
I have researched this problem and checked my variable sizes over and over again. I have tested the procedure within the Oracle Express environment and it works fine; HOWEVER, when the procedure is called from my C# app it produces the ORA-06502 error.
The stored procedure signature looks like this...
Original - SQL Code
create or replace save_new_project (p_custorgid in number, p_title in varchar2, p_AOIName in varchar2, p_description in varchar2, p_receiveddate in date, p_deadlinedate in date, p_startdate in date,
[code]....
The OracleParameter in my C# app for the last out param is defined as such...
As I said at the beginning of this post, the procedure works fine in the Oracle environment. So why is it not working by simply calling it from C#? I've tried changing the OracleDbType to CLOB which eliminates the error but it returns a bizarre result. It returns this string, "Oracle.DataAccess.Types.OracleClob".
Since CLOB doesn't really work either I switch back to Varchar2 and specify a size of 5000 (in the database the field I am querying is defined as Varchar(30)). I still get the ORA-06502 error.
I am clueless as to what the problem is. It should work and it does if I run a series of SQL statements in an Oracle SQL Command window. The test that works fine looks like this...
Original - SQL Code
declare v_projid projects.projectid%type; v_statustypedescrip projectstatustypes.type%type; /* this is a varchar(30) */ begin save_new_project(2, 'Some input text goes here', 'More input text', 'And more again','26-APR-2007','26-APR-2007','26-APR-2007','26-APR-2007','users name as inpujt text
[code]....
But calling save_new_project from C# throws ORA-06502. It identifies line 40 of my stored procedure. This is line 40...
when I want to create a table.When I run my procedure I received : PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
create or replace PROCEDURE p_create_tmp_tables (p_result OUT NUMBER ) IS string_sql varchar2(1000); result NUMBER; BEGIN string_sql := 'CREATE TABLE TMP_CATEGORIES (CODE_CATEGORY NUMBER(6,0), NAME_CATEGORY VARCHAR2(25 BYTE))'; execute immediate string_sql; [code]...
begin -- Initialize owa with an empty array, just so we can use htp. owa.init_cgi_env( param_val=>owa.cgi_var_name ); -- Add a header to avoid dealing with header-related code in htp. htp.prn('Content-Type:text/plain'); htp.print('');
[code]....
The error I am getting is
ERROR at line 1: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small ORA-06512: at "SYS.HTP", line 1550 ORA-06512: at line 32
what i feel is that oracle Database UTF8 or AL32UTF8 characterset does not support htp package properly. When i run the code on another characterset, it runs errorfree except in UTF8 or AL32UTF8.
Actually I am getting the following error while running my script.
Error:(Error): ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small ORA-06512: at line 9
Seems to be getting eror in the following line but not sure why its coming."select adary.dilution_strategy_seq.NEXTVAL into :dil_strat_seq_new from dual;"
Code snippet: --------------------------------------------------------------- declare dil_strat_seq_new NUMBER :=0; disc_conc_seq_new NUMBER :=0; disc_fold_seq_new NUMBER :=0; begin

Following are my declarations and query inside my procedure.i am getting "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too smal" error when i try to execute the procedure
I am learning pl/sql and this is procedure i had created which got created successfully.then i created two variables name v_name, v_loc with command.
variable v_name varchar2; etc. and executed procedure like execute dept_proc2(10, :v_name, :v_loc); and i am getting the error
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
1 create or replace procedure dept_proc2 2 (v_dno in number, v_name out varchar2, v_loc out varchar2) 3 is 4 cursor dept_cur is select dname, loc from dept 5 where deptno=v_dno; [code]...
Actually I have an existing table in LOG RAW instead of BLOB. Which stores some transaction XML data. The data is very huge. When i trying with the following, gives me following error
SQL> declare 2 a varchar(255); 3 B LONG RAW; 4 cursor c1 is select xml FROM LOG_tab WHERE ID='13148' ; 5 begin 6 open c1; 7 loop 8 fetch c1 into b ;

Since dbms_output.put_line has buffer limitation.Can we write the result of a select statement into client LOCAL disk files using PL/SQL.
I am getting an error as below ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
Here is complete code
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE MDI.ACCUM_STRING_TYPE2 AS OBJECT ( rvalue VARCHAR2 (32767 STATIC FUNCTION odciaggregateinitialize (sctx IN OUT accum_string_type2) RETURN NUMBER
Trying to learn and understand Triggers, PL/SQL code, etc. When I execute a simple insert using Toad for Oracle, all is fine. When I try the identical insert in SQL*Plus, it throws error ORA-06502 during execution of the trigger.
Here is the error info:
insert into AAAJOB(PROCEDURENAME,DESCRIPTION) VALUES('OOO','PPP') * ERROR at line 1: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small ORA-06512: at "PMSC0.AAAJOB_TIMING", line 10 ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'PMSC0.AAAJOB_TIMING' ===
I want to pass a damn long query(which includes a lot of column names, tables, joins, union, where clauses etc. and whose length is more than 120000) in a Ref cursor (that's length is more than 32767). Query is stored in a LONG type variable V_QRY in stored procedure, and I am opening that ref cursor like below-
OPEN P_RPT_TEST FOR V_QRY;
at run time its giveing string buffer too small error.
Recently I came across this issue, which gives me an error as following.
ERROR: ORA-22835: Buffer too small for CLOB to CHAR or BLOB to RAW conversion (actual: 4907, maximum: 4000)
Now I am running a very simple query against one of the View in our Database. Query is:
Select Prj_Num, PM_Comments From ProjectDetails Where Rel = ‘2008 10’
What I have discovered so far is one of the field in this view name “PM_Comments” has more than 4000 bytes of information in it, Which is not supported by tools I have available on my computer. I have Oracle SQL Plus, SQL plus Worksheet, Access and Excel installed on my machine. DBA related to this database are stating that the field is working fine and query is executing without error since they are using TOAD for SQL, which does have capabilities to read more than 4000 bytes.
What I have figured out so far is “PM_Comments” is a LOB and SQL plus is having trouble reading this information more than 4000 bytes in one field of information.Because of this diagnosis, I have tried using following queries but it did not useful either.
Select Prj_Num, Substr (PM_Comments, 1, 4000) From ProjectDetails Where Rel = ‘2008 10’
Select Prj_Num, DBMS_LOB.Substr(PM_Comments, 4000, 1) From ProjectDetails Where Rel = ‘2008 10’
But both of the above mentioned queries did not work either. and I get the same ORA-22835 Error.I do not need all of the information in “PM_Comments” field, I only need about first 1000 characters of it.
My requiremnt is that a field must contain on Alpha number value, no specail character allowed, how can we sure by query that string which is going to commit is alphanumeric.
To built the Pl/SQL function or SQL query to validate the given string for alphanumeric character.
I would pass the string of size 10 character, we need to validate first 5 character as alphabet, next 4 character as numeric and last 1 character as alphabet.
I will pass the each row value to the function, it need to return "T" or "F" based on the condition,first 5 character as alphabet, next 4 character as numeric and last 1 character as alphabet.
Here is the DML and DDL.
[code]
create table abc ( classid varchar(10));
insert into abc values ("abcde1234f"); insert into abc values ("abcde12345"); insert into abc values ("ab1de1234f"); insert into abc values ("abcde1234f"); insert into abc values ("abcd21234f");
[code]
Output:
Input : abcde1234f Output : T Input : abcde12345 Output : F Input : ab1de1234f Output : F Input : abcde1234f Output : T Input : abcd21234f Output : F
I have created and formatted a mini test scenario. Execute the scripts I have below?
From the column adj_second_line, I am trying to clip everything from the characters '201' all the way to the end...or the NUMERIC start value after the word 'TYPE'. Whichever way is easier for you...
notes column having 2000 characters max, i want my string output based on 35 characters, ya i need to replace tag after 30 characters in the string.. I need out put as "hi hello how are you doing out there, similar i need to calculate the sting length and have to split it 35+35+35..
This i tried
select substr(note,1,(instr(note, ' ',35)))||' '||substr(note,instr(note, ' ',35),(instr(note, ' ',35)))notes from test
Does cache buffer chain latch and buffer busy wait event are related to one any another.
Latch definition from Google says : Latches are simple, low-level serialization mechanisms to protect shared data structures in the system global area (SGA).
what does it mean my protect. Does this mean protects from aging as per LRU algorithm and getting removed from SGA or protect from other processes ,say from example from simultaneously DML operations. or both
Does buffer busy wait event occurs , because of the cache buffer chain latch ?
Where I am copying the data from one database to another I am getting this error.
ORA-01458: invalid length inside variable character string
This is applicable for only character string.
