I have a third party application that logs to an Oracle 7.3.4 instance.

I'm in the process of upgrading the app to a newer version, and I'm sudenly getting the follwoing in one of it's log fiels:

ORA-01401: inserted value too large for column

Now, since nothing about aht it's trying to log (data waise) _should_ have changed, I'm puzzled. It's definatley the application, as I can run the old version against the same new Oracle isntace and get the data loged, but if I run the new version of the application against it, I get this error.

So (finally) here's the question. How can I configure Oracle to give me the gory details f what the appliaction is requestiong Oracle to do, preferably just when it fails, as the application ogs _a lot_ of data to Oracle.
