I am getting following error. I under stand this error message. But in my case I am not able identify the problem.

String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.

My table:
test
(t1 char(4),
t2 char(4)
)

Insert statement:
insert into rpt_rating_distribution_map
(t1, t2)
values
('RR','BB')

If I am using SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF and running insert statement then it is inserting successful.

Does any one have idea why am I getting error.

Thanks,
RajPree
 
You are doing nothing wrong, your SQL statements are correct.

What product are you using? Maybe you should ask your question in a vendor specific forum.
 
Your code looks fine. Normally this means that the data you are trying to put into the table is bigger than the field allows.

Other than you insert statement isn't going to your test table, I've got no idea why you are getting this error.

I using SQL Query Analyzer and this is SQL Server 2000. Hopes this helps.
 
You showed the schema of a table named test but what about rpt_rating_distribution_map ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Sorry for that : I mean rename table.

My table:
test
(t1 char(4),
t2 char(4)
)

Insert statement:
insert into test
(t1, t2)
values
('RR','BB')

 
As others have said, there is nothing wrong with that code (I even tried it to make sure). ANSI_WARNINGS setting doesn't make any difference - it works fine.

Are you sure that is the actual code you are running??

Yes, I am sure one more interesting point is same insert statement one of my co worker is running and she is able to run without any errors.
 
Try recreating the table:

Code:
DROP TABLE test

CREATE TABLE test (
  t1 char(4),
  t2 char(4)
)

INSERT test VALUES ('RR', 'BB')
