== Why is this an issue?
Trying to assign a large character value to a smaller variable or column will raise an error.
include::../../../shared_content/plsql/data_dictionary.adoc[]
== How to fix it
Ensure that the size of the variable or column is large enough to hold the value.
=== Code examples
==== Noncompliant code example
[source,sql,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
CREATE TABLE Persons
(
Id NUMBER,
Name VARCHAR2(4)
);
INSERT INTO Persons (Id, Name) VALUES (1, 'Alice'); -- Noncompliant, raises ORA-12899
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sp1
IS
foo VARCHAR2(2);
BEGIN
SELECT Name INTO foo FROM Persons WHERE Id = 1; -- Noncompliant, may raise ORA-06502
END;
