in reply to Perl DBI Insert row

Hi Win,
As a quick guess I would say that this means that you are trying to insert a string which is bigger than the defined field size in the table Standard_population.

Try typing describe Standard_population; on the prompt and see if your data matches the criteria you set for each of the fields (i.e. are the fields data types a suitable length and type?).
