ORA-64203

Destination buffer is too small to hold CLOB data after character set conversion.

Cause

An attempt to convert CLOB data to CHAR failed because the large object (LOB) size was bigger than the buffer limit for CHAR types or the CHAR buffer was not big enough to hold all of the data after the character set conversion.


Action

Reduce the LOB size returned before performing the conversion. For example, use SUBSTR on CLOB or use DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR to convert from CLOB data to CHAR data.
