Learn what is Oracle Error ORA-00972: identifier is too long and what is the cause. How to fix ORA-00972: identifier is too long. Solution is identifier length should be equal to 30 or less.
Introduction:
In this tutorial, We will learn about error «ORA-00972: identifier is too long» in oracle. When this will happen and how to resolve it.
Error:
When you encounter error code ORA-00972, a message saying appears «identifier is too long.» This error is self explanative that is some problem with length of identifier.
ORA-00972: identifier is too long
Reason:
An identifier with more than 30 characters was specified.
Example:
See the below SQL to create the table with name «JAVA_W3SCHOOLS_BLOG_ORACLE_TABLE«.
Creating table:
CREATE TABLE JAVA_W3SCHOOLS_BLOG_ORACLE_TABLE(
ID NUMBER
);
When we run this SQL, immediately will throw the error.
SQL> CREATE TABLE JAVA_W3SCHOOLS_BLOG_ORACLE_TABLE(
2 ID NUMBER
3 );
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00972: identifier is too long
Saying identifier at line number 1 is causing for this error. There identifier is table name which is JAVA_W3SCHOOLS_BLOG_ORACLE_TABLE in our case and length is 32 characters causing for ORA-00972 error code.
Many users find themselves encountering ORA-00972 when attempting to access a table that has a large table name or column name length is more than expected.
Solution:
To resolve this error, All identifiers length should not exceed 30 characters. Refer the below modified table Creation Script where table name length is changed to 26 characters.
SQL> CREATE TABLE JAVA_W3SCHOOLS_BLOG_ORACLE(
2 ID NUMBER
3 );
Table created.
Special Note:
All the below are part of identifiers in oracle. Any one of these identifier length exceeds 30 characters then will see «ORA-00972» error saying «identifier is too long»
Table name
Column name
Constraint name
Partition name
Cluster name
View name
Index name
Synonym name
Table-space
Username
Etc
Conclusion:
We learnt how to resolve the oracle error ORA-00972 which is faced by many oracle developers. We must make all identifiers length should be below or equal to 30 characters.
Oracle 12.1 was still limited to 30 characters. Starting with Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2), the maximum length of identifier names for most types of database objects has been increased to 128 bytes.

After 19c Database Upgrade Concurrent Programs Fail With Error: ORA-00972: identifier is too long (Doc ID 2797871.1)
Last updated on APRIL 28, 2022
Applies to:
Symptoms
On: 12.2.6 version, Database for Application Technology
After upgrading the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) database to the 19.10 version, concurrent programs are failing, and the concurrent request logs show the following error:
The error also occurs when the following piece of PL/SQL code is executed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE
——————————————————-
The following steps show how to run the PL/SQL code that uses the fnd_file package, which is also used by Oracle EBS concurrent programs to create output and log files.
1. Connect as the APPS user
2. Get the folders where temp files can be created. Below is just an example of the output you might get, your values will be different.
SQL> select value from v$parameter2 where name=’utl_file_dir’;
3. Run the following piece of code to confirm you are also getting the error: ORA-00972: identifier is too long
a. Set DIR_TEMP with one of the above values:
SQL> create or replace directory DIR_TEMP as ‘/u01/db/temp/
b. Run the piece of PL/SQL code:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
declare
x varchar2(20);
Begin
select ‘test’
into x
from dual;
fnd_file.put_line(FND_FILE.LOG,’In the log file’);
fnd_file.put_line(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,’In the output file’);
end;
You should get an error such as:
declare
*
ERROR at line 1:

Hi,
The problem is the Cx_ prefix the LKM is applying to the column names in the select on source, this is giveing a column alias longer than 30 chars.
Couple of things to try :
In Topology — Physical , find your technology you are using for your your source table model, edit , go to SQL -> Advanced tab and reduce the Maximum Column Name Length down (from 30?) , ODI should start to trim the colum aliases for you.
If that doesnt work .
Can you put a view on top of the source table and alias the columns to have a shorter name?
pleaase check data type and column size in both source and target tables, and again reverse engineer you source and target table.
Once it is done in model, open your interface and while mapping to target columns, please apply trim function.
Hope this may helps you

Name Length I try 25-35
Im not sure what your pictures are telling me ,
@phanikanth — Your suggesting checking/changing the column datatype, we can clearly see the error in the OP’s first post is on the command on source (not the target) — so it matters not how wide that column is or what the datatype is, the select statement is failing with ORA-00972: identifier is too long.
The name of the table in the From clause is fine, its columns like this :
causing the ORA-00972
So ODI is taking the source column name and adding prefix C5_ , you cant control the C5_ as thats part of the LKM getcollist method , all you can do is tell ODI to not use 30 Chars for the SQL Generation.
You say : «Name Length I try 25-35» . What does this mean? What Name? Table Name ? (As your pictures denote) , its the SQL Generation you want to try to change, not the datastore name.
I said check Topology -> Physical Architechture -> Oracle , go to the Advanced tab and look for drop it down, suggest 25 to see what the generated code looks like, the screen looks like this :
Once you have done that, let us know if it works or not, if it doesnt work — show me the new SQL being generated on the step thats failing.
The pictures you have posted up dont tell me anything, and the error from the log doesnt give me the SQL its generated, please provide this so we can help you.

Sql error ora 00972
ORA-00972 is related to a simple syntax convention that concerns identifiers within Oracle. While fixing the error is rather simple, the following information about identifiers is important to know in order to understand how to name and use identifiers throughout your code.
Each database object is represented by an identifier. This can either be a quoted identifier or nonquoted identifier. If it is a quoted identifier, it must begin and end with double quotation marks. Whenever you refer to this object anywhere else in the code, you must include it within the double quotation marks to ensure that the code runs correctly. A nonquoted identifier does not require double quotation marks, but is written as is. In either case, the names must be 30 characters or less. The only exceptions to this rule are that the names of databases can only be 8 characters long and the names of database links can only be 128 characters long.
Reserved words in Oracle cannot be used with nonquoted identifiers while quoted identifers can be reserved words. However, the latter is not a good practice and should be avoided. Reserved words have a special meaning in Oracle and therefore should not be utilized in this manner as it may cause confusion for the user and prompt errors when running the code. To ensure that you do not face difficulties with these words, it is best not to use reserved words. There is a list that details all of Oracle’s reserved words for reference.
When faced with ORA-00972, you will see the following error message:
ORA-00972: identifier is too long
You have tried to reference a table, cluster, view, index, synonym, tablespace, or username with a value that is longer than 30 characters. As previously stated, identifiers must be no longer than 30 characters. Since you did not follow this naming guideline, it prompted ORA-00972.
To resolve the error, simply rename the value to ensure that it is 30 characters or less. This should solve the problem and get rid of the error message.
Fortunately, errors concerning Oracle syntax like ORA-00972 are rather easy to fix. In order to avoid seeing such errors in the future, be sure to become familiar with the rules related to naming schemas in Oracle. While these types of errors may be simple fixes, it is best to avoid them altogether. Knowing and following the syntactical rules of Oracle and reading through official Oracle documentation concerning this topic can reduce the possibility of seeing ORA-00972.
If you continue to have problems with this or any other error, you may want to contact your database administrator or a licensed Oracle consultant to help resolve the issue. Check your consultant’s licensing and experience to be sure that your Oracle needs will be met properly.

In Oracle 12.1 and below, the maximum
length for the name of an object (Table, View, Procedure, Package, Function,
Materialized View etc.) is 30 bytes (or 30 characters, if each character is of 1 byte as per character set used). Starting 12.2, name length has been increased to 128 bytes/characters. Likewise, the name of a column of a
table or view should also not exceed the allowed length. In the following I am
providing a few examples where we will see ORA-00972 error returned in 12.1 database
