    This error is reported by SQL Server when you try and insert string or binary data into a column which doesn’t have enough width to hold it, e.g.

    create table MyTable
(
    Column1 VARCHAR(10)
)

insert into MyTable (Column1) VALUES ('1234567890A')

Msg 8152, Level 16, State 14, Line 1
String or binary data would be truncated

    At a guess, it is because your Student_info.StudentMobile is varchar(10) whereas Student_temp.Mobile is varchar(50)
