Error Code 1292 - Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value - Mysql

Question

I am not sure what is this error!

#1292 - Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value: 

I don't have double value field or data!

I have wasted a whole hour trying to figure this out!

here is my query

INSERT INTO call_managment_system.contact_numbers 
    (account_id, contact_number, contact_extension, main_number, created_by)
SELECT
    ac.account_id,
    REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(ta.phone_number, '-', ''), ' ', ''), ')', ''),'(','') AS Phone,
    IFNULL(ta.ext, '') AS extention,
    '1' AS MainNumber,
    '2' AS created_by
FROM 
    cvsnumbers AS ta
    INNER JOIN accounts AS ac ON ac.company_code = ta.company_code
WHERE 
    LENGTH(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(ta.phone_number, '-', ''), ' ', ''), ')', ''),'(','') ) = 10

here is my show create table for the table which the results are going into

CREATE TABLE `contact_numbers` (  
    `number_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,  
    `account_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',  
    `person_id` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',  
    `contact_number` char(15) NOT NULL,  
    `contact_extension` char(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',  
    `contact_type` enum('Primary','Direct','Cell','Fax','Home','Reception','Office','TollFree') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'Primary',  
    `contact_link` enum('Account','PDM','Other') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'Account',  
    `status` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1' COMMENT '0 = inactive, 1=active', 
    `main_number` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' COMMENT '1 = main phone number',  
    `created_on` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,  
    `created_by` int(11) NOT NULL,  
    `modified_on` datetime DEFAULT NULL,  
    `modified_by` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',  
    PRIMARY KEY (`number_id`),  
    KEY `account_id` (`account_id`),  
    KEY `person_id` (`person_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=534 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

Answer 1

This message means you're trying to compare a number and a string in a WHERE or ON clause. In your query, the only potential place where that could be occurring is ON ac.company_code = ta.company_code; either make sure they have similar declarations, or use an explicit CAST to convert the number to a string.

If you turn off strict mode, the error should turn into a warning.

Answer 2

I corrected this error as there was a syntax error or some unwanted characters in the query, but MySQL was not able to catch it. I was using and in between multiple fields during update, e.g.

update user 
set token='lamblala', 
    accessverion='dummy' and 
    key='somekey' 
where user = 'myself'

The problem in above query can be resolved by replacing and with comma(,)

Answer 3

I was facing the same issue. Trying to compare a varchar(100) column with numeric 1. Resulted in the 1292 error. Fixed by adding single quotes around 1 ('1').

Thanks for the explanation above

Answer 4

TL; DR

This might also be caused by applying OR to string columns / literals.

Full version

I got the same error message for a simple INSERT statement involving a view:

insert into t1 select * from v1

although all the source and target columns were of type VARCHAR. After some debugging, I found the root cause; the view contained this fragment:

string_col1 OR '_' OR string_col2 OR '_' OR string_col3

which presumably was the result of an automatic conversion of the following snippet from Oracle:

string_col1 || '_' || string_col2 || '_' || string_col3

(|| is string concatenation in Oracle). The solution was to use

concat(string_col1, '_', string_col2, '_', string_col3)

instead.

Answer 5

When I received this error I believe it was a bug, however you should keep in mind that if you do a separate query with a SELECT statement and the same WHERE clause, then you can grab the primary ID's from that SELECT: SELECT CONCAT(primary_id, ',')) statement and insert them into the failed UPDATE query with conditions -> "WHERE [primary_id] IN ([list of comma-separated primary ID's from the SELECT statement)" which allows you to alleviate any issues being caused by the original (failed) query's WHERE clause.

For me, personally, when I was using quotes for the values in the "WHERE ____ IN ([values here])", only 10 of the 300 expected entries were being affected which, in my opinion, seems like a bug.

Answer 6

In my case it was a view (highly nested, view in view) insertion causing the error in mysql-5.6:

CREATE TABLE tablename AS
  SELECT * FROM highly_nested_viewname
;

The workaround we ended up doing was simulating a materialized view (which is really a table) and periodically insert/update it using stored procedures.
