Re: Help: I cant insert

Hello,

        This is because your column name percent_..... is more than 31 characters long. Unfortunately, you can mostly see in your dba_tab_columns that only the first 31 chars!! So you have live the rest of life with this name given by oracle or drop and recreate the table again.

Hope this helps
