I'm getting the following error message:
string or binary data would be truncated
I've tried increasing the column size but no luck, I've doubled checked by code but cant seem to find any issues. Its during an insert:
SqlCommand insert = new SqlCommand(@"INSERT
into orderDetails
(orderID, Name, Phone, Mobile, Email, DelName, DelRoad, DelTown, DelCity, DelCounty, DelPostCode, BilName, BilRoad, BilTown, BilCity, BilCounty, BilPostCode)
values
(@orderID , @Name , @Phone , @Mobile , @Email , @DelName , @DelRoad , @DelTown , @DelCity , @DelCounty , @DelPostCode , @BilName , @BilRoad , @BilTown , @BilCity , @BilCounty , @BilPostCode)", connection);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@orderID", ID);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name", name);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Phone", customer.Phone);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Mobile", customer.Mobile);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Email", customer.Email);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DelName", customer.DelName);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DelRoad", customer.DelRoad);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DelTown", customer.DelTown);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DelCity", customer.DelCity);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DelCounty", customer.DelCounty);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DelPostCode", customer.DelPostCode);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@BilName", customer.BilName);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@BilRoad", customer.BilRoad);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@BilTown", customer.BilTown);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@BilCity", customer.BilCity);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@BilCounty", customer.BilCounty);
insert.Parameters.AddWithValue("@BilPostCode", customer.BilPostCode);
insert.ExecuteNonQuery();
Here is my table definition code:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[orderDetails] (
[orderID] INT NOT NULL,
[Name] NCHAR (100) NULL,
[Phone] NCHAR (100) NULL,
[Mobile] NCHAR (15) NULL,

[DelName] NCHAR (100) NULL,

}
Solution. To avoid this error and to insert the string with truncation, use the ANSI_WARNINGS option. On setting ANSI_WARNINGS to OFF, the error message will not be displayed and the data will be automatically truncated to the length of the destination column and inserted.
"String or binary data would be truncated" error occurs when importing CP_Resource_Location. csv file that includes resource names that are longer than 50 characters. To resolve this issue you must change the Data Type for the Resource_Name column manually to a type that has the sufficient number of characters.
The error message is: "String or binary data would be truncated." The "String or binary data would be truncated" error occurs when the value persisted in a field is higher (in character count) than the one the database column max value allows.
This message is shown when you are trying to insert some data that is too big for the field.
A prime candidate here is Email
- you only have it set as 15
character whereas most email addresses are going to be much bigger! Increase it to 255
and try again.
Check all of the others too, especially small ones like Mobile
.
