Hi MapInfo users,

I'm using Mapinfo 7.0 and EasyLoader 7.0
I want to upload to Oracle Spatial a .tab table
with region objects and tabular data structure as follows

Definition Table
 Type NATIVE Charset "WindowsLatin1"
 Fields 3
   XY_ID Decimal (13, 0) ;
   AREA Decimal (17, 2) ;
   DATE_MODIFIED Date ;

I got this error

---------------------------
MapInfo Upload Utility Error
---------------------------
TESTUPD, insert failed for row: 1

ORA-01722: invalid number

 Data Values: 65544661731
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


I've now figured out that the problem is with Decimal field with decimal places greater than zero - AREA Decimal (17, 2); in my case.

I haven't find a solution without loss of information,
either precision (1) or type information (2)
(1) truncate the decimal places
(2) change field type to Character

1. What might be the best solution?

2. Why such incompatibility, as my table is just a
  part of another table, linked from the same oracle database?
XY_ID          NUMBER (11)
AREA           NUMBER (15,2)
DATE_MODIFIED  DATE

3. The error message is unclear - 65544661731 is really a valid number :-)

TIA,
Ikker
