Calling oracle stored procedure from java

Question

I am calling a stored procedure in oracle from Java client.

There is a problem when passing string of length about 80 characters from Java into procedure parameter.

Although it works fine for smaller string.

The error thrown was "

numeric or value error: character string buffer too small"

What could be the reason?

Answer 1

Check the IN parameter in the procedure to which you are passing this 80 char string. Looks like you are trying to assign it to a param which can only hold a smaller string.
