You also need to consider your character
set. VARCHAR2(60 BYTE) means it only allows 60 bytes not 60 characters.
Some character sets use multiple bytes (2 or 3) for some characters.
You could define your table as VARCHAR2(60 CHAR) or set your nls_length_semantics
to CHAR.
I would also suggest that you setup a free
account at OracleTechnologyNetwork (OTN) ... http://www.oracle.com/technology/index.html
... there is a lot of good information there.

check the length of your vairables before you insert...if
its web based app,
then you should limit the input anyway and validate it that it matches
the
desired data

Subject: [PHP-DB] inserting data into Oracle tables
Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2005 10:31:40 -
Is there a standard for inserting data into Oracle tables from a user
input
field in PHP?
Most Oracle tables will have a limit on the amount characters such
as
Name VARCHAR2(60 BYTE) - this means the maximum amount of characters
allowed is 60.
If you use special characters in PHP such as entering the following
into a
input box
¬!£$%^*()[EMAIL PROTECTED]?|\,./;'#][=-¦abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzA
When this gets passed to Oracle it takes the overall characters in
the
insert statement to 64, which then fails because it is over the Oracle
table limit. Is there a standard way of dealing with something like
this.
Regards,
David
