Bob:

  You can use WHEVER conditions within your SQL*Plus script, however, it
stops when an error is received.  You could put into an anonymous pl/sql
block and use exception handling.  Use this format:

BEGIN

     PROCEDURE XXX  is
     BEGIN
        INSERT STATEMENT with variables for all values

     EXCEPTION HANDLER
     END;

     Call procedure with values for insert

END

Thank You

Subject:        Catching errors on inserts

Oracle Water Walkers!

        I have a very large insert script that may contain data that is
larger than the column, I need to be able to identify rows that fails
with

"Value too large for column"

Im doing 10k inserts via insert into table (val1,val2,...)

Is there a way to do this (trap bad rows) in SQL Plus? I don't see how
but I figured I ask. The collective intelligence here  is greater that I
...

Many thanks

You people on fatcity are awesome!!
