PostgreSQL 22001

PostgreSQL 22001 error: literal message STRING DATA RIGHT TRUNCATION indicates that a string value was too long to fit in the specified column and was truncated.

How It Affects Your App

The error 22001 STRING DATA RIGHT TRUNCATION indicates that the data being inserted into a table is too long for the column it is being inserted into. This can cause data to be lost or corrupted, leading to unexpected results in the application. It can also lead to data integrity issues, as the data stored in the table may not match the data that was originally intended to be stored. This can lead to incorrect calculations or other errors in the application.

How To Fix

1. Identify the source of the PostgreSQL 22001 error. This can be done by running the following command:

SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity;

2. Once the source of the error is identified, the next step is to determine the cause of the error. This can be done by running the following command:

SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE state = 'idle in transaction';

3. Once the cause of the error is identified, the next step is to fix the issue. This can be done by running the following command:

ROLLBACK;

4. After the issue is fixed, the next step is to ensure that the issue does not occur again. This can be done by running the following command:

VACUUM;

5. As a final step, it is recommended to use an automated database observability tool to monitor and fix PostgreSQL 22001 errors. This tool can be used to detect any potential issues before they become a problem, as well as to quickly identify and fix any issues that do arise. Additionally, the tool can be used to monitor the performance of the database and ensure that it is running optimally.
