Ryan — thanks! Alen T. Nice I have some memories of spending hours testing code line by line and comparing schemas from different tables to see where the overflow was.
Anyone any ideas? Ah, missed that bit. Richard Green. Danish — try reading the first sentence of the post next time, thanks. Philippe Cand. Ioana Rusu. I think you might need to be on this build Andrew Clennell. Andrew Peterson. Thank you, Nima. Nima — great feedback, thanks! Good and exhaustive info on this. Helps a lot! Michael Hudson. You right, but sometimes you just need to move on ignoring minor warnings.
I agree, but this one indicates data loss and is therefore not "minor". So again: First understand - then decide. Never say always. Thanks for this tip. Thanks for your responses. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password.

CeOnSql godamnit this must be the most frustrating error message in computing history, alongside 'catastrophic failure' — Jim. Does this answer your question? SQL Server String or binary data would be truncated — wibeasley. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Columns t2 ON t1. I was copying data from one table to an identical table in everything but name.
I compared the schema of the source table to temp table. I found one of the columns was a varchar when I was expecting a varchar This error is thrown when the column of a table puts constraint [ mostly length ]. The error basically says it; string of length three and above is inconsistent to fit the length restriction specified by database schema.

Would you mind posting some code, and information about each table? The tables are both quite large - so I will post only the part of the table definintions that are involved and the code - is that acceptable? The table definitions and the code would be great. Last time when I had this issue, it was with the trigger, The trigger was inserting data in an audit table.
Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Ryan Kohn I had faced the same problem and had to compare all the column types and sizes of both the tables to fix the issue. After going thourgh the exeecise of gathering the partial table definitions and then getting my sproc code the offending column jumped out at me like a lightning bolt Thanks all for your input. It's really great that SQL can't be bothered to tell you which column is causing the problem.
I have started removing useful information from all of my error messages in an attempt to emulate this stroke of genius. Which is just useless. So i'd check if i hava "varchars 1 " in the table DDL I hope this helps. Rudi Kershaw Rudi Kershaw Likewise here.
Sometimes I have to store data into a table from, say, a web service, where the datatype is defined only as a "string". I can't make everything a Varchar MAX This didn't work , but I got results that allowed me to fix the problem increasing varchar length! So thanks. If you are absolutely positive that this should not be the case and do not care if it is not the case , then another solution is to forcibly cast the source query columns to their destination length which will truncate any data that is too long : Select Cast TextCol1 As varchar Thomas Thomas My daily process started breaking with this error.
The data I insert was always short enough to fit and I always had other rows in the Table I was pulling from with oversized strings that were never inserted because of my filter.
