Hi,All while taking Full export the following Error occured.

. exporting post-schema procedural objects and actions
. exporting user history table
. exporting default and system auditing options
EXP-00008: ORACLE error 1406 encountered
ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated
EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully


I googled the Error and the solution is like "expand the column buffer area " But how?

Quote:
ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated
Cause: In a host language program, a FETCH operation was forced to truncate a character string. The program buffer area for this column was not large enough to contain the entire string. The cursor return code from the fetch was +3.
Action: Increase the column buffer area to hold the largest column value or perform other appropriate processing.


Please let me know how to do this....And At my DB Audit_TRAIL=DB_EXTENDED.Is this because of audit_trail=DB_Extended option enabled?

Thanks & Regards
Sriram

Workaround:
Generate and run the script in
Note 287436.1 SCRIPT Generate AUDIT and NOAUDIT Statements for Current Audit Settings
prior to running export. Revert back to previous audit settings after the export run."



Now my audit settings are set to none(before value).
noaudit all

& i ran noaud.sql script also.

But still getting the same error.

Thanks
Sriram

Talk to Oracle. Say that the "workaround" is not really working its way around Wink.
I cannot reproduce the case. May be it is worth applying the patch and try your luck again .
