| Problem: | Error: “Event Code GSQLE-2504-4: ORA-01401: inserted value too large for column” when importing MPP project into an Oracle database |
| Problem: | The import stops and the following error appears: ***************************************************** *EXCEPTIONREPORT* *****************************************************
Executable:PM.exe Application:Primavera Project Management Event Code:GSQLE-2504-4 Message: General SQL error. ORA-01401: inserted value too large for column |
| Cause: | Field(s) in the project may exist with too many characters for the corresponding field in the Oracle database. Some fields are too long to be stored in the Oracle database, but can be stored in SQL. For example, Activity Names have a 54 character limit in Oracle, but more in SQL. |
| Fix: | Check and shorten the length of any long fields that exist in the database and reimport. |
