Hi all,
I wrote a script bellow. If it is run on Oracle 8 it runs fine and
gives me all the result but on Oracle 9i it returns the error ORA-06502.
Can anybody tell me please why?
I have found a workaround - instead of
select col||'x' colu from tbl union select col colu from tbl;
use
select col||'x' colu from tbl union select col||null colu from tbl;
But it doesn't tell me, why the first statement doesn't work on 9i.
Thak you for your responses.
Mike
<<<script>>>
set serveroutput on
create table tbl (col varchar2(1));
insert into tbl values ('a');
insert into tbl values ('b');
select * from tbl;
select col||'x' colu from tbl union select col colu from tbl;
declare
cursor cA is
select col||'x' colu from tbl union select col colu from tbl;
begin
for vA in cA loop
dbms_output.put_line(vA.colu);
end loop;
end;
/
drop table tbl;
<<</script>>>
The error message:
SQLWKS> declare
2> cursor cA is
3> select col||'x' colu from tbl union select col colu from
tbl;
4> begin
5> for vA in cA loop
6> dbms_output.put_line(vA.colu);
7> end loop;
8> end;
9> /
