Alternatively, if you have a trigger on that table, that creates a primary
key from a generator, check to ensure that the definition for the primary
key is large enough to accommodate the current value of the generator. For
example, if it is defined as SMALLINT, any generator number higher than
32,767 will cause an overflow. Thus, the fact that the same database at
other sites do not exhibit this error indicates that those databases are
still generating numbers within the range of SMALLINT.
whether the definitions for this table are consistent with the data that
you are trying to store. Look at triggers, computed-by columns and check
constraints. If you are still bemused, post the actual definitions and an
actual failing query, with all of the exceptions you are getting, in
correct chronological order.

whether the definitions for this table are consistent with the data that
you are trying to store. Look at triggers, computed-by columns and check
constraints. If you are still bemused, post the actual definitions and an
