Remove columns one by one until the error goes away. Then post what the column data type is and the value for the error.

I once got this kind of error with SQL Server. It doesnt like BigInt being passed to it. I had to change that to Integer.
ArndW is right, its the sql type of one of your columns thats creating that problem. Do as he says to find out which column it is.
