  • 0

I am executing the following query, but it is inserting partial value of first field, i.e 95362 instead of 95362-07

Insertion query::

INSERT INTO ACCIDENT VALUES(95362-07,'Orthoptic education on visual ergonomics','Orthoptic education on visual ergonomics');

Getting values in the table ::

95362,Orthoptic education on visual ergonomics,Orthoptic education on visual ergonomics.

Table structure:

    Here’s the problem, your first column is expecting a data type of Number

    desc accident

Name                           Null     Type                                                                                                                                                                                          
--------------------------------------------------
ID                                      NUMBER                                                                                                                                                                                        
ACC_NAME                                VARCHAR2(4000)                                                                                                                                                                                
ACC_DESC                                VARCHAR2(4000)

    And then, when you insert your query, the first parameter is being computed only the NUMBER part of it, which is 95362.

    To store your ID records in the form XXXXX-XX you must change your ID column to a VARCHAR2 data type. Otherwise you’ll keep getting this result.

    I hope it helped. Cheers
