Hi All I hope someone can help with a really frustrating problem I'm having.
I have the following models class Output(models.Model): title = models.CharField(u'Title', max_length=1024, db_index=True) ingest_time = models.DateTimeField(u'Ingest timestamp' , default=datetime.now()) output_date = models.DateField(u'Output date', blank=True, null=True , db_index=True) output_type = models.ForeignKey('OutputType') status = models.ForeignKey('Status') abstract = models.TextField(u'Abstract', blank=True, null=True) class OutputMetadata(models.Model): output = models.ForeignKey('Output') field = models.ForeignKey('MetadataField') value = models.TextField(u'Field Value') If i run this: outputs = Output.objects.filter(outputmetadata__value='History') list(outputs) #to make the lazy query run I get this error: *** DatabaseError: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small ORA-06512: at line 1 (Note: Output.objects.all() does not return an error) I took the generated sql and ran it in sqlplus and it works just fine. I also took the generated sql, stripped out the nclobs from the selected fields and ran it in cx_Oracle without django i.e. cursor.execute('SELECT "OUTPUTSAPP_OUTPUT"."ID" FROM "OUTPUTSAPP_OUTPUT" INNER JOIN "OUTPUTSAPP_OUTPUTMETADATA" ON ("OUTPUTSAPP_OUTPUT"."ID" = "OUTPUTSAPP_OUTPUTMETADATA"."OUTPUT_ID") WHERE UPPER(DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR("OUTPUTSAPP_OUTPUTMETADATA"."VALUE")) = UPPER(\'History\') ORDER BY "OUTPUTSAPP_OUTPUT"."OUTPUT_DATE" DESC') I get the same error. I am running: Django 1.4, cx_oracle 5.0.4 , Oracle 10.2 (which i am stuck with) Has anyone seen anything like this or have any ideas where i can start looking for a solution? I've been googling but to no avail :-( Any pointers much appreciated Charlie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
