ORA-01459:Invalid length for variable character string - please HELP!
Date: 1995/11/09

We have a Delphi C/S application running under W4W3.11 using Oracle 7.1 on NT3.51 as a back end. Users who log onto the application run quite happily for a variable length of time (normally 10-30 mins) and then receive the following error "General SQL error. ORA-01459:invalid length for variable character string". The error occurs during a SQL query to the database and necessitates the user exiting the application (sometimes out of windows altogether) and then re-entering it again. Where the error occurs is not consistent (perhaps indicating a resource problem). The Oracle documentation is not much help, saying that no action can be taken to correct the problem.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance to all who reply!
