We noticed a different behavior with too_many_rows exception in v7 and v8i.
Is this a bug or that's the way it should work in 8i?

I really appreciate your feedback on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Prasad

declare
v_table_name    user_tables.table_name%TYPE;
begin
v_table_name := null;
select  table_name
into    v_table_name
from    user_tables;
dbms_output.put_line('v_table_name : '||nvl(v_table_name,'null'));
exception
when too_many_rows then
    dbms_output.put_line('too_many_rows exception, v_table_name : '
||nvl(v_table_name,'null'));
when others then
    dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
end;

In v7.3, It keeps value remains null in v_table_name column and v8i it is
assigning the first received value.
In both cases, It is raising too_many_rows exception.

Output in v7.3:

too_many_rows exception, v_table_name : null

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Output in v8.1.7, v8.1.6, v8.1.5

too_many_rows exception, v_table_name : CHAMPION_LIFE_DGNSS_CATEGORY

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
