string or binary data would be truncated

i have got a database and i am querying/ inserting via entity framework

I've trying to insert a record into a table and it is giving me the error of "string or binary data would be truncated".

By trial and error, I found the problem field and expanded it in the database and also refreshed my edmx file, i.e. completely deleting all entities within and adding the tables again

I'm still getting the same error, even though I'm 100% certain that the column is now easily big enough.

Can anyone suggest how I can resolve this?

Solution 1

its a simple error

causes: the size of the column exceeded

suppose if u create a column with varchar(2)

and if u try to insert 'asdasdasd' then u get this error.

now what u do is

change the datatype varchar(**) to varchar(max) now u wont get this error this applies to all datatypes.

Hi,
Its the error because of data-type and what the size you are passing for inserting data to that field.Suppose i have declared a field named name varchar[20] and i am trying to inserting name of more than 20 characters then i will get an error like "String or binary data would be truncated". So please check all the field.Hope this will work.If not let me know about the error.
