ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated

ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated

David,

Would it be logical if Informatica fetched the data in some variables? How
can it display the selected values otherwise? So, there is a problem.

I do not know Informatica. Does it have its own 'repository ', which
describes the datamodel of your database? Did you need to load informatica
with your datamodel? Did some columns gain some length, provided by an
evil developer, after this initial load, leaving informatica ignorant
about the change?

If not, you might have hit a bug in Informatica, otherwise this is
misconfiguration in informatica. Most likely it is not a bug in Oracle: It
is just an informational message telling you that not all retrieved data
fits into a variable.Informatica _should_ have a proper error_handler on
this.

Regards, Carel-Jan
