Question string or data will be truncated error...

Thanks for the help in advance. I am receiving a weird sql error saying 'string or data will be truncated' The field has set up as a varchar(1000) on the DB. When i count the chars in the text with the spaces, I have 994. Why does it truncate the string when i have less than the required?

check the actual length of the string using len()...I suspect there are hidden characters or spaces that you are not counting. The database wouldn't be giving you the error if the string was not breaking the limit.

I had an oracle error once that shouldn't have happened--string literal too long on a short string. To fix it, I used <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="" value="##">. Worked for my issue

I truly doubt that this will fix your problem, but I thought I would pass it along anyway.
