Set LongTruncOK and LongReadLen, also make sure you are always binding anything that has to do with Longs.
See docs for above parameters.

The content of this column is a text file(it is not a pointer to a text file but the raw text file itself). When I try to simple select statement in perl it gives following error. Do I need to notify perl that it is a LONG data type and read it differently. DBD::Oracle::st fetchrow_array failed: ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated (DBD: ORA-01406 error on field 3 of 3, ora_type 8, DBI attribute LongTruncOk not set and/or LongReadLen too small) at pgmsetup.pl line 22. Thanks in advance. Regards, Urmil
