I am having no luck inserting a 7 digit number into a table, The create Table code looks like this:
createString = "create table STATES " +

					   "(STATE_NAME varchar(32), " +


                       "REGION varchar(10), " +

                       "LARGEST_CITY varchar(32), " +

                       "CAPITAL varchar(32), " +

                       "POPULATION int)";

I get NUMBER(38) when I do desc STATES. How can I insert a 7 digit number, e.g. 3444165 into this table? I am getting the error, SQLException: ORA-01722: invalid number. It MUST be possible to store population size! Anyone??
Thanks
