Bug reference: 8880

PostgreSQL version: 9.2.3
Operating system: Fedora 18
Description:
When trying to insert a varchar value in a limited column which exceed the
column limitation, we get an error of "value too long for type
character(%d)).
e.g varchar(5) --> value of 6 character "123456"
There is no indication which value exceeded the limitation and for big
tables it is almost impossible to indicate the specific exceeded value.
