ORA-14400: inserted partition key does not map to any partition

Cause: An attempt was made to insert a record into, a Range or Composite Range object, with a concatenated partition key that is beyond the concatenated partition bound list of the last partition
OR An attempt was made to insert a record into a List object with a partition key that did not match the literal values specified for any of the partitions.
Action: Do not insert the key.
OR add a partition capable of accepting the key,
OR add values matching the key to a partition specification
First check out what partition keys are on your table.(query user_tab_partitions). Probably the value you are trying to insert does not match any partition. Maybe you forgot a range or did not set a MAXVALUE partition. If you have this problem with SQL*Loader, it might be a SQL*Loader bug. Try to insert the values with an insert-statement.

You get this message because the value you are trying to insert does not match any partition. You can check this with the query:

select partition_name,high_value from dba_tab_partitions where table_name='RANGE_TAB';

Could be that the inserted value is higher then the high_value. Add or modify the partitions, so the inserted value can be matched.
