	| Hi, 
 A simple sql statement will do, how do i copy a field of remarks varchar2(1024) to another field in another table declared as remarks varchar2(255)?
 
 insert into dest ( select * from source);
 ERROR at line 1:
 ORA-01401: inserted value too large for column
 
 what is the command to display the max length remarks, and what is the command to trim the data?
 
 Thanks in advance.
 
 Regards
 Ooiewe
