Example: -
Step 1)
SQL> create table employee (emp_id number, emp_name varchar(10), emp_desig varchar(10));
Table created.

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12899: value too large for column "SYS"."EMPLOYEE"."EMP_DESIG" (actual: 16,
maximum: 10)
Note: - At the time of table creation the data type value of the emp_desig has given as 10 but the value of emp_design which has been inserted it was greater than its data type value, this is the cause that error has occurred.
Hope that will resolve your issue.
