ORA-12899 - Value too large

edited Jun 11, 2012 3:12PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 13 commentsAnswered

Hi,


we have a 10g Rel 2 database running on Linux X64
The client is on AIX
From the client (AIX) we are running sql loader to load flat files into oracle database
The Flat files contains spanish / double bytes characters

We are getting "ORA- 12899 - value too large" errors on records that contains spanish characters

The database character set is UTF8

So it seems that if the column is char 10 bytes, and if we insert a word consisting of 10 english characters , it runs fine
but if the 10 character long word contains spanish characters, it errors out


Is there any settings / NLS related environment variable we need to set on AIX for profile

Howdy, Stranger!
