Brian:
Why don't you do what us "ubergeeks" do? Test. in a loop, try run each
version, say 1000 times and tell us how long they take to run in your
environment.
(I want to know, but am too lazy to do this for myself right now!)

I have seen code that depends on the 8.1 behavior. It does bring up a
question I have always wondered about. The question for the internals
ubergeeks is: which of the following is best to use? (All should have the
same result, so which one has the best performance and why?)
A)
declare
y number;
begin
select x into y from z where rownum = 1;
foo(y);
end;
B)
declare
y number;
begin
begin
select x into y from z;
exception
when too_many_rows then null;
end;
foo(y);
end;
C)
declare
y number;
cursor c is
select x into y from z;
begin
open c;
fetch c into y;
close c;
foo(y);
end;
D) something else more clever or obscure ???

v7&v8i
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.
