FOUT in regel 1:
.ORA-01400: Kan geen NULL invoegen in ("ORADESA"."EMP"."DEPT_ID").
ORA-06512: in "ORADESA.NEWEMP", regel 29

I can not find any information about, if somebody know, please help me.

The error you are encountering is trying to insert a null value into a NOT NULL column.

If you need access to the error descriptions use

http://otn.oracle.com/pls/db92/db92....e&prefill=ORA-

change your NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.CHARACTERSET

oerr is a shell script which reads $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg/$LANG.msg and tells you the error message

oerr ora 942 for example

Hi jovery,

Thank for your quick answer.

I know how to look for the error description but I like to get the english error message because I can work easy and faster. I have expirience working with oracle so if I read a error message I know most of the time what to do, but in ducht take to long to resolve a error, special if i get error after error.

Best Regards,

Maite.

Pando,

I forgot to mention before I am working with Windows 2000.
Is NLS_LANG Operation System environment variable? your example is a Unix O.S.?

[pando]

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\HOME0 if you have one ORACLE_HOME
