Most likely, the error message is true: `ORA-24345: A Truncation or null fetch error occurred (DBD ERROR: ORA-0 +1406 error on field 8 of 122, ora_type 1` [download] Have you looked at field 8? Maybe it gets truncated. Also, Oracle error numbers are often quite googleable. Have you looked at the error description in the Oracle documentation?	[reply] [d/l]

I googled a lot I'm using a tool ora2pg which takes the data in oracle and move it to postgres in oracle this is a varchar(80 byte) field PG ref_property character varying(80), ref_house character varying(80), ref_object character varying(80) so I don't know why it throws this exception	[reply]
Re^3: dbd::oracle truncation error by wal (Initiate) on May 30, 2016 at 15:44 UTC
maybe I found something strange the select lenght(ref_object) = 80 and the lengthb(ref_object) = 80 the field is varchar2(80 bytes) strange is that the length and lengthb gives the same length but ref_object has some special characters? so how can the length be equal?	[reply]
