解决方案：

根据需要手动增加目标列以在该列中插入行。

sql>desc PS_CAN_GOV_COUNTRY;
Name                                      Null?    Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ---------------------------
CAN_COUNTRY_CD                            NOT NULL VARCHAR2(5 CHAR)
EFFDT                                     NOT NULL DATE
EFF_STATUS                                NOT NULL VARCHAR2(1 CHAR)
DESCR                                     NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30 CHAR)
DESCRSHORT                                NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10 CHAR)
sql> alter table PS_CAN_GOV_SCHOOL modify DESCR VARCHAR2(35);
Table altered.
sql> commit;
Commit complete.
