    ORA 1401 inserted value too large for column on exp/imp different characterset

    Hi all

    I export the database and it was on WE8MSWIN1252, then I import it into UTF8 database and both database on 9i. and I run into errors on couple of tables with error: ORA-01401. It's b/c characterset conversion and UTF8 is single byte.

    does anyone run into this issue before and any trick or way to fix or get around?

    thanks

    Use a utility called CSSCAN to scan your database to tell you what columns will need to be expanded when changing charactersets:
