Subject: WE8ISO8859P1 vs. UTF8 Character Sets
Hi,
I'm trying to populate a table for a data warehouse I am developing. =
The source database is
8.0.4 with WE8ISO8859P1 as the character set. The target database is =
8.1.6 with UTF8 as
its character set.
The problem I am encountering is I am getting an ORA-01401 (inserted =
value too large for column) when trying to do an INSERT...AS SELECT from =
the source table to the target table. I have identified the PO_NUMBER
column as the source of the problem. The datatype/length of the source =
and the target columns are both NUMBER with no precision or scale is =
specified. I tried using the CONVERT( ) function to translate the =
character set for this column during the insert but still no luck.
I looked through the historical posts I have for this listserv and I =
saw a post that said WE8ISO8859P1
is a subset of UTF8 and therefore anything stored in WE8ISO8859P1 can =
be stored in UTF8. If this is the
case, why am I getting this error still?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
