Besides the fact that it looks nonsense? :)
1) How does the scramble table structure looks like?
2) What RDBMS do you use?

Solution 3

At least one of your columns is not wide enough for the data you're trying to put into it. My guess is the columns are 2 chars wide - make them 3 chars.

I assume they're one-character wide and he doesn't want apostrophes around his source column names.

One or more of the strings you're trying to insert is too long for the column, as per the column length constraint. The simplest way to find out would be to open the Management-Tool of your SQL-Database-System ("Sql Server Management Studio" for SQL-Server) and look at the column definitions of that table "scramble".
