SQL & PL/SQL :: Getting Error / Value Too Large For Column
Jul 29, 2011
I am using trim function in my select query. But still I am getting white space in my output. because of this, I am getting the error "value too large for column... " when I load the data into a table through sqlloader.
define APPName="&1"
set heading off;
set verify off;
set newpage 0
set feedback off;
set rtrimspool on;
set termout off;
set pagesize 40000;
1. When querying the "alert_log" table I created from the alert log using the script below, 2 new files were created ALERT_LOG_30499.bad and ALERT_LOG_30499.log.
The ALERT_LOG_30499.log. contains this error message:
error processing column MSG in row 2910 for datafile /u02/damistst/admin/bdump/alert_damistst.log ORA-12899: value too large for column MSG (actual: 82, maximum: 80)
the ALERT_LOG_30499.bad , so far, only contains datafile resize information. The datafiles have plenty of space and there is plenty of space on the San slice the datafiles reside.
2. then each time I recreate the table and increased the increased the varchar2 size, the "actual" size will also increase in the log file.
error processing column MSG in row 2910 for datafile /u02/damistst/admin/bdump/alert_damistst.log ORA-12899: value too large for column MSG (actual: 92, maximum: 90)
3. When I increased the varchar2 size to 120+ it gave me this error message:
[oracle@tds_dw bdump]$ cat ALERT_LOG_30715.log
LOG file opened at 03/09/11 14:46:20
Field Definitions for table ALERT_LOG Record format DELIMITED BY NEWLINE Data in file has same endianness as the platform Rows with all null fields are accepted
Fields in Data Source:
MSG CHAR (255) Terminated by "," Trim whitespace same as SQL Loader
TABLE DDL:
create table alert_log ( msg varchar2(80) ) organization external ( type oracle_loader default directory BDUMP access parameters ( records delimited by newline ) location('alert_damistst.log') ) reject limit 1000;
**** QUESTION I can still query the alert_log table in sqlplus, but those log and bad files are generated, is this an issue?
example of a piece of the results from " select * from alert_log; "

I want to add column to table which has huge amount of data and fill with data from another table. What is the best way to do it? Is it faster to use CTAS instead of ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN?
I have encountered some problems in SQL I want to create a table with a bunch of prepared data. For ease of use, I choose to generate a SQL file which contains all the sql clauses used to create the table and insert the data. So all the data can only be inserted to a table using sql clause.
My questions: 1) If data of a column is large (for example, 1 M text), how to insert it using SQL, is there a piecewise method. 2) And how can I insert BLOB data using SQL clause.
What I what is to enclose all the operations in a single SQL file, and when the table is needed, just execute this SQL file.

I am trying to run the below query to extract the outline data from v$sql_plan(querying other_xml column), but i get the below error...this works perfectly fine on 10.2.0.4 + version...but on 10.2.0.2 and and 10.2.0.1 i get the below error... how to fix it ?

I've set up a query that creates 2 columns 'UVLCredit' and 'UVLDebit' and what I'm trying to do is subtract the 'UVLDebit' column from the 'UVLCredit' column and have the resulting value show up in a column called 'UVLTotal.
I'm multiplying 1 column times another to create a new column called UVLCredit, and then doing it again (with a different column) to create a 2nd new column called UVLDebit...the last thing I'm trying to do is to take the results of the 1st new column and subtract the results of the 2nd newly created column to create a 3rd new column called UVLTotal. The error states that the 'UVLDebit' column is an invalid identifier.
See code below....

I am getting ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined error when running the below SQL query. I am gettig this error at the last line of code where v1.objectid=v2.parent_object_id
I have not written this query so i find difficult to debug it. Also i am not that well verse with SQL
i have a varchar2 column containing string values that can be converted to date i.e. ('31-JUL-11') and that column also contains text strings in it. i.e. ('Some string data...')
records whose column value can be converted to date are extractable via where clause (i.e. those rows are associated with some fix number / flag)
now when i try to use to_date function i get the error that
" ORA-01858 a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected "
in sql i have added a where clause to only pick rows with flag, but even then it gives the error.
using a subquery in the from clause eliminates the error, but when i create it in a view it again gives the same error.
I am trying to load the data from .csv file into the table using SQL Loader.
The table has the following schema: src_id : number, dest_id : number, range: intsys.interval_typ --- > a type containing (lower,upper) payload : varchar2(100)
The loader.ctl file is :
load data infile * append into table sb_packet fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by ' " ' (src_id,dest_id,range,payload) BEGINDATA 3,32,intsys.interval_typ(10043,142703),"misc data"
When I use the following this ctl file to transfer the data, i get the following error:

I am having issue with IMPDP on ORACLE VIRTUAL COLUMNS.I am having following table with Virtual column defined with Not null. Expdp is fine without any issue.
DDL : ------ CREATE TABLE alert_hist ( alertky INTEGER NOT NULL, alertcreatedttm TIMESTAMP(6) DEFAULT systimestamp NOT NULL, alertcreatedt DATE GENERATED ALWAYS AS (To_date(Trunc("alertcreatedttm"))) VIRTUAL NOT NULL
When I do the import (IMPDP) it got failed with the following error.
. . imported "TESTSCHEMA"."VALART" 359.1 KB 4536 rows ORA-31693: Table data object "TESTSCHEMA"."ALERT_HIST" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error: ORA-39097: Data Pump job encountered unexpected error -1
After that I dropped the Virtual Not null column and recreated that column with Nullable.
DDL : ----- alter table alert_hist drop column alertcreatedt; alter table alert_hist add alertcreatedt DATE GENERATED ALWAYS AS (To_date(Trunc("alertcreatedttm"))) VIRTUAL;
After that I took the expdp and impdp , it went fine with out any issue.
I keep getting the "ORA-01401:inserted value too large for column". No biggie - I've dealt with this multiple times before (but obviously not enough in this instance).
The data being entered is a SINGLE digit number - a number like 1, 2 or 3 - nothing fancy, just a plain straight everyday single digit number. The field in question is / was set as field type "Integer". Now, there is no set field size for integers! - not in Oracle anyway. Since it wasn't happy, I decided I'll try field types of 'Number' and also "Varchar2" set to 10 bytes. I have deleted the column from the table and re-created it as well.
Here's the even more puzzling bit: I can INSERT data into this field, BUT I can not UPDATE the field with the exact same data. The data is being inserted from a csv file. The same exact csv file used to insert works, but the same data in the same file will not update only that particular column.
If I delete the specific column data from the csv file, all goes through fine. If I hard code the update for the field (eg SET field2 = '1' or even SET field2 = ' ') it still doesn't work. So I know it is not the csv file that is causing problems. I deleted all data from the csv file except the field in question - still no luck.
So after eliminating: 1. The field type 2. The field length 3. The data being inserted 4. The external source of the data
I need to add a new column to a very large table, and update it with 'N'. (this is similar as specifying default 'N'). I'm using Oracle 9i. Which is the best method regarding to speed, to update this column on entire table? The table contains ~30 millions of records. I've read that parallel DML (here UPDATE) does not work on unpartitioned tables. My table is not partitioned. If i specify:
update /*+ full(p) parallel(p,10) */ my_table p set p.my_column = 'N';
This, i think will not speed up the operation on 9i. Our business does not accept to use CREATE TABLE AS SELECT, then renaming table and recreating all indexes and so on.
Can an undo tablespace be too large and actually hurt performance? I have seen a system with a dedicated 1 TB drive for undo tablespace (no guarantee) with an undo_retention of 7 days. Would this hurt performance? What about setting an undo_retention of 24 hours with no guarantee? The only mention I could find online said that it would not hurt performance but I wanted to double check. You would think that Oracle does not care if it deletes the undo at 15 minutes or if it deletes the undo at a later date such as 7 days later and the performance should stay the same.
I have oracle 11gr2 database on linux os. It's total sga size is 500mb only. Now, if uses wants read the 1gb of data from database, then there is no sufficient memory in buffer cache. so how it will works. the transaction will get successful or it will fail.And i have another doubt, does oracle can read the data from memory only or it can also read directly from disk.
