String or binary data would be truncated.

NOTE: My Table has a space [UserLevel ] as it was made that way from before

Answer 1

This is caused by attempting to put too much data into a column.

The trouble is, none of the values specified in your example are too large for the columns indicated in your schema picture. I’d therefore assume that the values you’ve given us either aren’t the true values, or you’ve got a trigger on that table, which is actually what is causing the error.

As an aside, shouldn’t your Delete_Flag and Deactivate_Flag columns be of datatype bit, rather than char(1)?

Edit:

Oh, and one more thing – as Client_ID is an nvarchar, you probably want to store unicode data in there. To indicate this in your script, you should use the “N” prefix on your strings, like so:

INSERT INTO [CVSUAT].[dbo].[UserLevel ]( 
  [Client_ID]
  ,[User_Level_Name]
  ,[User_Level_Description]
  ,[Created_by]
  ,[Created_Date]
  ,[Modified_by]
  ,[Modified_Date]
  ,[Delete_Flag]
  ,[Deactivate_Flag]) VALUES (N'sndbsndbsdnbsndbsnbdnsbdn23','Client','','Client','2013-03-12 21:31:38.437','Client','2013-03-12 21:31:38.437','0','0')
