ORA-12899, while actual value length is smaller than maximum
问题 I've loaded some data using SQL*Loader and obtained following strange error messages: ORA-12899: value too large for column AELS_AENDBESCHR (actual: 69, maximum: 70) ORA-12899: value too large for column AELS_AENDBESCHR (actual: 70, maximum: 70) Actually the values don't exceed the maximum, so what the hell these messages are doing here then? 回答1: Indeed, the problem was in the character set of the database. I tried to put data supposed for 1 byte character set in a database with UTF-8
