field did not exist anywhere in the definition of the data file.
Action: Verify that the LOBFILE clause is specified correctly. Also verify that the
field definitions for the data file are correct.
KUP-04061: directory object string specified for LOBFILE column string is not valid
Cause: The column being loaded from a LOBFILE specified the directory object
containing the LOBFILE through another field in the data file. In this case, the
LOBFILE clause in the access parameters must specify a list of all directory objects
that will be used for this field. This error occurs because a field contains the name
of a directory object that is not in this list.
Action: Verify that the data file contains the correct directory object and verify
that the list of valid directory objects in the LOBFILE clause for this column is
complete.
KUP-04062: no data source specified

specification.
Action: Use the name of a directory object to indicate where the file should be
stored.
KUP-04077: unknown format specifier in file name string
Cause: A format specifier is a percent sign followed by a character. The percent
sign and character are replaced by a value depending on the character. This error
occurs when the character following the percent sign is not defined to have a
value.
Action: See the documentation for information on valid format specifiers. If the
file to be opened needs to have a percent sign in its name then use two pecent
signs. They will get replaces by a single percent sign in the resulting file name.

specified by a field in the data file and that field needed to be converted to the
server's character set before it could be used. This message indicates that an
attempt to convert the field failed.
Action: Verify that the data file has the correct value for the fields. Also verify that
the correct character set was specified for the data file.
KUP-04083: no directory object specified in LOBFILE clause for column string
KUP-00552 to KUP-11024 36-13
Cause: There was no directory object specified for the LOB files used to populate
the named column and no default directory was specified for the external table.
Action: Either specify a directory name, or the name of a data field containing the
name of the directory object that contains the files.
KUP-04084: The ORACLE_DATAPUMP access driver does not support the ROWID
column.
Cause: A query of an external table of type ORACLE_DATAPUMP tried to
reference the ROWID column. The ORACLE_DATAPUMP access driver does not
support ROWIDs.
Action: Remove the ROWID from the query. If that is not possible, create a table
in the database with the same columns as the external table, copy the data from
the external table into the newly created table, and use that new table for the
query.

Cause: Execute access to the directory object used for a preprocessor file was not
granted.
Action: Grant execute privilege on the directory object or specify a different
directory which already has execute privilege enabled.
KUP-04088: data sampling is not supported by this access driver
Cause: A query of an external table requested a sample of the data returned. The
access driver for the external table does not support sampling.
Action: Do not try to use sampling for this external table.
KUP-04089: column transform string is not the name of a table column
Cause: The specified column was in the list of column transforms but a column by
that name does not exist in the table
Action: Verify that the correct name was specified in the column transform.

OCI-21600: path expression too long
Cause: The path expression that is supplied by the user is too long. The path
expression is used to specify the position of an attribute in an object. This error
occurs when one of the intermediate elements in the path expression refers to an
attribute of a built-in type. Thus, the OCI function cannot proceed on to process
the rest of the elements in the path expression.
Action: User should pass in the correct path expression to locate the attribute.
OCI-21601: attribute is not an object
Cause: The user attempts to perform an operation (that is valid only for an object)
to an attribute of a built-in type. An example of such an illegal operation is to
dynamically set a null structure to an attribute of a built-in type.
Action: User should avoid performing such operation to an attribute of built-in
type.
OCI-21602: operation does not support the specified typecode
Cause: The user attempts to perform an operation that does not support the

OCI-22275: invalid LOB locator specified
Cause: There are several causes: (1) the LOB locator was never initialized; (2) the
locator is for a BFILE and the routine expects a BLOB/CLOB/NCLOB locator; (3)
the locator is for a BLOB/CLOB/NCLOB and the routine expects a BFILE locator;
(4) trying to update the LOB in a trigger body -- LOBs in trigger bodies are read
only.
Action: For (1), initialize the LOB locator by selecting into the locator variable or
by setting the LOB locator to empty. For (2) and (3), pass the correct type of locator
into the routine. For (4), remove the trigger body code that updates the LOB value.
OCI-22276: invalid locator for LOB buffering
OCI-00601 to OCI-31199 44-15
Cause: There are several causes: (1) the locator was never enabled for buffering (2)
it is not an updated locator but is being used for a write/flush operation
Action: For (1) enable the locator for buffering; (2) ensure that only an updated
locator is used for a LOB update operation
OCI-22277: cannot use two different locators to modify the same LOB
Cause: LOB buffering is enabled and an attempt was made to modify the LOB
using two different LOB locators.
Action: When using LOB buffering, modify the LOB through one LOB locator
only.
OCI-22278: must update the LOB only through the LOB buffers
Cause: LOB buffering is enabled for this LOB and there are buffers for this LOB in
the buffer pool. Thus, updating the LOB through means other than the LOB
buffers is not allowed.
Action: Update the LOB through the LOB buffers using the locator that has LOB
buffering enabled. If this operation is required, buffers associated with this LOB
should either be flushed as necessary or buffering should be disabled. Once this is
done, reissue the command.
OCI-22279: cannot perform operation with LOB buffering enabled
Cause: The operation attempted is not allowed when LOB buffering is enabled.
Action: If the operation is required, LOB buffering should not be used. In this
case, flush buffers associated with the input LOB locator as necessary, disable
buffering on the input LOB locator and reissue the command.
OCI-22280: no more buffers available for operation
Cause: There are two causes: (1) All buffers in the buffer pool have been used up
by previous operations (2) Attempt to flush a LOB without any previous buffered
update operations.
Action: For (1), flush the LOB(s) through the locator that is being used to update
the LOB. For (2), write to the LOB through a locator enabled for buffering before
attempting to flush buffers.
OCI-22281: cannot perform operation with an updated locator
Cause: The input locator has buffering enabled and was used to update the LOB
value through the LOB buffering subsystem. The modified buffer has not been
flushed since the write that was performed by the the input locator; thus, the input
locator is considered an updated locator. Updated locators cannot be the source of
a copy operation. Only one locator per LOB may be used to modify the LOB value
through the LOB buffering subsystem.
Action: Depending on whether the modifications made through the input locator
to the LOB buffering subsystem should be written to the server, either flush the
buffer to write the modifications, or, disable buffering on the locator to discard the
modifications. Then, reissue the command.
OCI-22282: non-contiguous append to a buffering enabled LOB not allowed
Cause: The buffered write operation has an input offset value more than one byte
or character past the end of the LOB.
Action: Specify an input offset value which is exactly one character or byte greater
than the length of the LOB that you are attempting to update through a buffered
write operation.

in the database dictionary, or make sure the name is correct.
OCI-22286: insufficient privileges on directory or file to perform string operation
Cause: The user does not have the necessary access privileges on the directory
alias and/or the file for the operation.
Action: Ask the database/system administrator to grant the required privileges
on the directory alias and/or the file.
OCI-22287: invalid or modified directory occurred during string operation
Cause: The directory alias used for the current operation is not valid if being
accessed for the first time, or has been modified by the DBA since the last access.
Action: If you are accessing this directory for the first time, provide a valid
directory name. If you have been already successful in opening a file under this
directory before this error occured, then close the file and retry the operation with
a valid directory alias as modified by your DBA. Oracle recommends that
directories should be modified only during quiescent periods.
OCI-22288: file operation string failed string

warehouse. A fact-table is a table having foreign-key constraints to one or more of
the dimension-tables in the data warehouse.
Action: Check the fact-filter is correctly specified; check that appropriate
constraints exist; and the user has privileges to access the tables
QSM-00507: no dimensions could be found
Cause: The database does not have any dimensions
Action: Create the dimensions in your warehouse
QSM-00508: statistics missing on tables/columns
Cause: The system metadata does not contain statistics on one or more tables or
columns. The Advisor needs cardinalities of all fact-tables, and of the level-keys of
all dimensions in the data warehouse.
Action: Run ANALYZE on the tables and summaries in the warehouse to collect
statistics
QSM-00509: invalid parameter
45-2 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The indicated parameter has an invalid value
Action: Supply a value in the proper range
QSM-00510: statistics missing on materialized views
Cause: The system metadata does not contain statistics on one or more
materialized views. The Advisor needs cardinalities of all materialized views in
the data warehouse.
Action: Run ANALYZE on the tables and materialized views in the warehouse to
collect statistics.
QSM-00511: invalid fact-tables specified in fact-filter
Cause: The tables specified in the fact-filter are not valid fact-tables. A fact-table
must have foreign-key constraints to one or more of the dimension-tables in the
data warehouse.
Action: Check the fact-filter is correctly specified; check that appropriate
constraints exist; and the user has privileges to access the tables
QSM-00512: invalid summaries specified in the retention-list
Cause: The summaries specified in the retention-list are not valid.
Action: Check the spelling of the summary-names; check that they are valid; and
the user has privileges to access them.
QSM-00513: one or more of the workload tables is missing
Cause: One or both of the workload tables are missing. The two workload tables
which should be present in the user's schema are V_192216243_F_5_E_14_8_1 and
V_192216243_F_5_E_15_8_1; the former is mapped to WORK$_IDEAL_MVIEW
and the latter to WORK$_MVIEW_USAGE. The workload tables are created by the
Oracle Trace Formatter when the data-collection-file (oraclesm.dat) is formatted by
the user.
Action: Check whether the Formatter succeeded in formatting the data collection.
Sometimes the V_192216243_F_5_E_14_8_1 (i.e WORK$_IDEAL_MVIEW) may not
be created whereas the other table is created. The most likely cause of this is the
init.ora parameters needed to invoke mview-rewrite are not enabled. Check your
documentation for all the init.ora parameters which need to be set for
mview-rewrite to occur. Another possibility is no GROUP BY queries were issued
during the time the data was collected, in which case, run the Trace collection for a
longer time to get a representative sampling of the queries issued in the data
warehouse.
QSM-00514: the size of must-retain summaries exceeds specified space limit
Cause: The specified space limit is greater than the size of must-retain summaries.
Action: Reduce the number of must-retain summaries or increase the space limit
QSM-00515: operation cancelled by user
Cause: The operation has been cancelled by the user
Action: None
QSM-00516: illegal status detected for run
Cause: The run has encountered an illegal value in the status field of the mview$_
adv_log table. This could be internal error or an application error.
Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support.

key of the right tables of outer join
Action: None
QSM-01094: outer-join filter not found in materialized join view
Cause: Materialized join view has outer join while the query inner join. For
rewrite to succeed MV must have an anti-join marker like the rowid or primary
key of the right tables of outer join
Action: None
QSM-01095: no suitable grouping_id found in MV with grouping sets
Cause: If materialized aggregate view contains grouping sets, then it also must
contain the grouping_id() function. This function must contain all columns in the
MV GROUP BY.
Action: None
QSM-01096: Materialized view with grouping sets contains duplicates
Cause: Materialized view with grouping sets contains duplicates and no rewrite is
supported for it. For example, GROUP BY GROUPING SET ((a), (a)) is not
supported for rewrite.

back to the above table. But it lacks the primary key or rowid for the table.
Action: None
QSM-01106: materialized view, string, is stale with respect to some partition(s) in
the base table(s)
Cause: Query is requesting some data from the MV that are stale with respect to
some partitions in the base tables due to some updates.

QSM-00501 to QSM-03287 45-21
QSM-01109: while rewriting with MV, string, table, string, migrated to query delta
Cause: There was an unmatched join on the MV, so a table involved in the join
was pushed to the query delta to see if the query can be rewritten
Action: None
QSM-01110: query rewrite not possible with materialized view string because it
contains a join between tables (string) that is not present in the query and that
potentially eliminates rows needed by the query
Cause: All lossy joins in the materialized view must be present in the query for
query rewrite to occur.
Action: None
QSM-01111: no partition key or partition marker found in MV, string
Cause: In order to do query rewrite with fresh partitions of an MV, the MV should
have a partiton key or partition marker.
Action: None
QSM-01112: WHERE clause of mv, string, is more restrictive than query
Cause: The materialized view contains a selection condition in the WHERE clause
that is more restrictive than the corresponding selection condition in the request
query.
Action: Change the selection criteria in the request query to be at least as
restrictive as the selection criteria in the materialized view, or drop and recreate
the materialized view using less restrictive selection criteria.
QSM-01113: HAVING clause of mv, string, is more restrictive than query
Cause: The materialized view contains a selection condition in the HAVING
clause that is more restrictive than the corresponding selection condition in the
request query.
Action: Change the selection criteria in the request query to be at least as
restrictive as the selection criteria in the materialized view, or drop and recreate
the materialized view using less restrictive selection criteria.
QSM-01115: rollup took place on a column with a window function
Cause: There was a rollup to aggregate the data on a column with a window
function.
Action: None
QSM-01116: window function computability checks failed

instances, likely due to mismatch in joins or measures
Action: Consider using aliases in the query to match with the aliases in the
materialized view
QSM-01124: set operator materialized view, string, doesn't have a marker column
Cause: The specified set operator materialized view does not have a marker
column.
Action: Add a marker column to the specified materialized view.
QSM-01125: a more optimal set operator materialized view than string was used to
rewrite
Cause: Query Rewrite always chooses the most optimal set operator materialized
view based on parameters, such as cardinality of the set operator materialized
view, number of branches that the set operator materialized view can rewrite etc.
The set operator materialized view specified was found to be less optimal.
Action: To force using a set operator materialized view, consider using a rewrite
hint.
QSM-01126: query rewritten with set operator materialized view, string
Cause: The specified set operator materialized view was used to rewrite the given

QSM-01215: query rewrite not possible when query GROUP BY clause has
non-columns
Cause: No query rewrite, if there is no valid column in the GROUP BY clause.
Action: None
QSM-01218: query rewrite is likely more expensive due to a single table match
between materialized view and query
Cause: Materialized join view is more expensive for rewrite than using the base
table
Action: None
QSM-01219: no suitable materialized view found to rewrite this query
Cause: There doesn't exist any materialized view in the database that can be used
to rewrite this query.
Action: Consider creating a new materialized view.
QSM-01220: materialized view, string, is disabled, stale or unusable
Cause: Materialized view is probably disabled or stale.
Action: Consider enabling the materialized view for rewrite or refreshing it.
QSM-01222: materialized view string is less optimal than string
Cause: Query Rewrite always chooses the most optimal materialized view based
on certain parameters, such as cardinality of the materialized view, number of
joins etc. The materialized view specified was found to be less optimal.
Action: To force using a materialized view, consider using a rewrite hint.
QSM-01241: query measure cannot be derived from the materialized view string
Cause: If a measure (such as SUM, AVERAGE) in the query cannot be matched or
computed from the materialized view, it will not be used for rewrite.
Action: None
QSM-01244: join back could not be done on a view for string
Cause: Query Rewrite will not occur if a join back to a table is required to find any
missing columns.
45-26 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: None
QSM-01246: join back on correlated columns not allowed (string)
Cause: Query Rewrite will not occur if a join back is required on a column that is
referenced by a sub-query.
Action: None
QSM-01247: join back cannot be done on a materialized view that does not have an
aggregate (string)
Cause: Query Rewrite can occur by means of a complex join back only during a
MAV rewrite.
Action: None
QSM-01248: materialized view does not have the join back level(s) (string)
Cause: Query Rewrite requires joining back to level of a dimension to find
missing information.
Action: Consider creating a dimension.
QSM-01251: query rewrite cannot perform rollup due to the presence of a window
function
Cause: No query rewrite if a window function is present on a column that
requires a roll-up to compute a measure.
Action: None
QSM-01256: query rewrite not possible for this DDL statement
Cause: Some SELECT statements which are part of a DDL expression may be
eligible for rewrite. These include CREATE AS SELECT and CREATE OUTLINE
statements. The given query expression is a DDL expression, which doesn't fall in
this category.
Action: None
QSM-01257: query rewrite not possible for this DML statement
Cause: Current DML is being done using an updatable view, so it is not eligible
for rewrite.
Action: None
QSM-01263: query rewrite not possible when query references a dictionary table or
view
Cause: Query rewrite is not allowed if query references any dictionary
tables/views.
Action: None
QSM-01271: query rewrite not possible because a join in materialized view string
with table string has eliminated some rows found in query
Cause: A join from the materialized view to any table that eliminates some rows
should be be present in the query. Otherwise query rewrite will not occur.
Action: None
QSM-01273: query rewrite not possible because materialized view string has a join
not found in query
Cause: Query rewrite may not be possible if the materialized view has some joins
that query does not have
QSM-00501 to QSM-03287 45-27
Action: None
QSM-01274: query rewrite not possible because materialized view string and query
have different number of joins between tables string
Cause: Query rewrite may not be possible if the query has some joins that the
materialized view does not have between the same pair of tables.
Action: None
QSM-01279: query rewrite not possible because DML operation occurred on a table
referenced by materialized view string
Cause: If any dependent tables of a materialized view undergoes a DML
operation, query rewrite may be restricted depending on the query rewrite
integrity mode for the session. In this situation, query rewrite will take place only
if the rewrite integrity mode is STALE_TOLERATED.
Action: Consider refreshing the materialized view changing the rewrite integrity
mode to STALE_TOLERATED.
QSM-01281: query rewrite not possible because either a primary key or a row id is
required to join table string with MV string
Cause: In order to obtain a missing column, the materialized view needs to join
back to the above table. But it lacks the primary key or rowid for the table.
Action: None
QSM-01284: materialized view string has an anchor table string not found in query
Cause: A table in a materialized view is an anchor, (a) if it is not joined to any
other table or (b) joined to other tables but each of its joins is not guaranteed to
provide all the rows or joined with the above table being child-side table. If an
anchor which is present in the materialized view is not found in the query, then
query rewrite will not take place.
Action: None
QSM-01293: anti-join marker not found in materialized view with joins
Cause: Materialized view has outer join while the query has inner join. For
rewrite to succeed MV must have an anti-join marker like the rowid or primary
key of the right tables of outer join
Action: None
QSM-01295: no suitable grouping_id found in materialized view with grouping
sets
Cause: If materialized view contains grouping sets, then it also must contain the
grouping_id() function. This function must contain all columns in the MV GROUP
BY.
Action: None
QSM-01296: query rewrite not possible because materialized view contains
duplicate grouping sets
Cause: Materialized view with grouping sets contains duplicates and no rewrite is
supported for it. For example, GROUP BY GROUPING SET ((a), (a)) is not
supported for rewrite.
Action: None
QSM-01297: query rewrite not possible because materialized view with grouping
sets has more than 176 different keys
45-28 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: Materialized view with grouping sets has more that 176 different keys in
its GROUP BY. No rewrite is supported then.
Action: None
QSM-01298: materialized view string clause more restrictive than query string
clause
Cause: The materialized view contains a selection condition in the WHERE or
HAVING clause that is more restrictive than the corresponding selection condition
in the request query.
Action: Change the selection criteria in the request query to be at least as
restrictive as the selection criteria in the materialized view, or drop and recreate
the materialized view using less restrictive selection criteria.
QSM-01299: query rewrite not possible because materialized view string is partially
stale
Cause: The materialized view is partially stale. It is stale with respect to one or
more partitions in one or more of its detail tables. The request query references one
or more such detail partitions.
Action: (1) Change the selection criteria of the request to restrict the query to only
the fresh portion of the materialized view, or (2) ALTER {SYSTEM|SESSION}
QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY = STALE_TOLERATED or (3) refresh the
materialized view.
QSM-01303: query rewrite not possible because query references a remote table
string
Cause: Query rewrite does not support query with remote tables.

materialized view inline views
Action: None
QSM-01352: SELECT lists of the query and materialized view inline views do not
match
QSM-00501 to QSM-03287 45-31
Cause: Query inline view's and materialized view inline view's SELECT list items
did not match.
Action: None
QSM-01353: no query rewrite on remote objects unless integrity mode is set to
stale_tolerated
Cause: Query rewrite's integrity mode should be set to stale_tolerated for query
rewrite to occur on queries with remote objects
Action: Set the session parameter, QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY to stale_
tolerated
QSM-01354: query rewrite is disabled for remote objects
Cause: Query rewrite was disabled internally for queries referencing remote
objects.

when OLAP option is off
Cause: Query rewrite against cube-organized materialized views was not possible
because the OLAP option was off.
Action: None
QSM-01509: equivalence, string, matched query text
Cause: The query was rewritten using an equivalence, because query text
matched the source statement for this equivalence.
Action: None
QSM-01522: a more optimal equivlanece than string was used to rewrite
Cause: Query Rewrite always chooses the most optimal equivalence based on
certain parameters, such as cardinality of the equivalence, number of joins etc. The
equivalence view specified was found to be less optimal.
Action: None
QSM-01526: query rewrite is disabled for equivalence, string
Cause: Query rewrite could not use this equivalence, because this equivalence
was created as disabled.
Action: Enable this equivalence using alter_rewrite_equivalence procedure from

QSM-01565: equivalence, string, cannot compute measure, string, in the query
Cause: If a measure in the query cannot be computed using the measures in the
equivalence, then query rewrite will not occur.
Action: None
45-32 Oracle Database Error Messages
QSM-01567: equivalence, string, cannot support the query measure, string
Cause: An attempt was made to push a grouping function through an expression
specified in the query to transform a measure. Query rewrite will not occur if this
measure transformation failed.
Action: None
QSM-01572: equivalence, string, and query have different joins between tables,
string
Cause: Anchors, if any, in the equivalenceand query match. But the joins between
these anchors in the equivalence and query are different.
Action: None
QSM-01582: Joining equivalence, string, with table, string, not possible
Cause: A column in the query is not found in the equivalence. To obtain the
column, a join back of equivalence to the table by means of either the primary key,
foreign key or rowid of the table is required. But join backs are not allowed for
equivalence rewrite
Action: None
QSM-01584: equivalence, string, has anchor, string, not found in query
Cause: If an anchor which is present in the equivalence is not found in the query,
then query rewrite will not take place.
Action: None
QSM-01601: rollup(s) took place on equivalence, string
Cause: If query's GROUP BY has one of the higher levels of columns found in the
equivalence, then the lower level columns in the equivalence will be rolled up to
compute the desired results.
Action: None
QSM-01602: equivalence, string, requires join back to table, string, on column,
string
Cause: A column in the query does not appear in the equivalence. Query rewrite
will try to obtain this column from the base table, by doing a join back to that
column with a materialized view. But join backs are not allowed for equivalence
rewrite as the required constraints are not guaranteed to be found on the tables in
the destination statement of the equivalence.
Action: None
QSM-01610: a lossy join in equivalence, string, between tables, string, not found in
query
Cause: All lossy joins in the equivalence must be present in the query for query
rewrite to occur.
Action: None
QSM-01617: equivalence definition is disabled
Cause: There is an equivalence defition that could have been probably used by
query rewrite to rewrite the query. But this equivalence is disabled.
Action: None
QSM-01618: equivalence, string, is enabled for text match rewrite only
Cause: This equivalence was created for text match rewrite only
QSM-00501 to QSM-03287 45-33

Cause: An equivalence cannot be used for query rewrite when the query rewrite
integrity mode is set to ENFORCED.
Action: None
QSM-01621: join backs to base tables not allowed with an equivalence
Cause: Query rewrite needs to do a join back to a base table column to answer
this query. But join back is not allowed for an equivalence rewrite
Action: None
QSM-01709: query rewritten with equivalence, string, using text match algorithm
Cause: The query was rewritten using an equivalence because query text matched
the definition of the equivalence
Action: None
QSM-01784: equivalence string has an anchor table string not found in query
Cause: A table in an equivalence is an anchor, if (a) it is not joined to any other
table or (b) it is joined to other tables but each of its joins is not guaranteed to
provide all the rows or joined with the above table being child-side table. If an
anchor which is present in the equivalence is not found in the query, then query
rewrite will not take place.
Action: None
QSM-01837: recursive query rewrite on equivalence, string, not permitted
Cause: The source and destination statements of this equivalence MV are possibly
identical. A recursive rewrite on this equivalence can lead to an infinite loop and
thus not permitted.

QSM-02148: many to many subquery joins require 9.0 compatibility or higher
Cause: You have specified a many to many join in your materialized view while
running in less than 9.0 compatibility mode.
Action: Set your compatibility mode to 9.0 or higher or restructure the
materialized view query.
QSM-02149: ON COMMIT with this MV requires 9.0 compatibility or higher
Cause: You have specified a materialized view that uses some combination of the
following: joins aggregation filter conditions in the WHERE clause a remote
relation in the FROM list a SUM(x) function without a corresponding COUNT(x)
function an omitted COUNT(*) aggregate function a MIN() or MAX() aggregate
function in combination with the REFRESH ON COMMIT option while running in
less than 9.0 compatibility mode.
Action: Set your compatibility mode to 9.0 or higher or restructure the
materialized view query.
QSM-02150: select lists must be identical across the UNION operator
Cause: You have specified a materialized view using the UNION operator and the
respective queries on each side of the UNION operator do not have the same select
list. The RELATED_NAME column shows the alias of the first different select list
item. The RELATED_NUM column shows the offset from the SELECT keyword to
the start of this select list item.
Action: Restructure the materialized view query such that the respective sides of
the UNION operator have identical select lists.
QSM-02151: subquery or named view in FROM list and < 9.0 compatibility
Cause: You have specified a materialized view that references a subquery or
named view in its top level FROM list while running in less than 9.0 compatibility
mode.
Action: Set compatibility mode to 9.0 or higher or restructure the materialized
view query.
QSM-02152: subquery or named view in FROM list even after view merging
Cause: You have specified a materialized view that references a subquery ore
named view in its top level FROM list that could not be merged during the view
merging process.
Action: Restructure the materialized view query.
QSM-02153: inline view or subquery in FROM list not supported for this type MV
Cause: You have specified a materialized view that references an inline view or a
subquery. The indicated capability is not supported for this type of materialized
view.
Action: Restructure the materialized view query.
QSM-02154: MV is not fast refreshable even with view merging
Cause: You have a materialized view with view in the FROM clause, however it
does not meet the criteria for fast refresh after view merging.

the complex construct in the view.
45-48 Oracle Database Error Messages
QSM-02161: see the reason why REFRESH_FAST_AFTER_ONETAB_DML is
disabled
Cause: REFRESH_FAST_AFTER_ANY_DML is disabled for the same reason that
REFRESH_FAST_AFTER_ONETAB_DML is disabled.
Action: Correct the problem with REFRESH_FAST_AFTER_ONETAB_DML.
QSM-02162: the detail table does not have a materialized view log
Cause: The fast refresh cannot be performed because the master table does not
contain a materialized view log.
Action: Use the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG command to create a
materialized view log on the master table.
QSM-02163: cannot use object id columns from materialized view log
Cause: The materialized view log either does not have object id columns logged,
or the timestamp associated with the object id columns is more recent than the last
refresh time.
Action: A complete refresh is required before the next fast refresh. Add object id
columns to the materialized view log, if required.
QSM-02169: the materialized view contains partition extended table name
Cause: Fast refresh of materialized aggregate views and/or materialized join
views are not supported if they were defined using partition extended table
names.
Action: Create the fast refreshable materialized view without using partition
extended table names or create the materialized view as a complete refresh
materialized view.
QSM-02170: tables must be identical across the UNION operator
Cause: You have specified a materialized view using the UNION operator and the
tables on each side of the UNION operator do not match. Fast refresh is not
supported in this context.
Action: Restructure the materialized view query such that the respective sides of
the UNION operator have the same table.
QSM-02171: the materialized view has a join operation in the outer UNION block
Cause: Fast refresh is not supported if a materialized view having the UNION
operator contains a join operation.
Action: Rewrite the materialized view query without the join.
QSM-02173: the unique constraints does not exist on the join columns of the inner
table
Cause: If there are outer joins, unique constraints must exist on the join columns
of the inner table. Othwerwise, the materialized view can not be fast refreshable.
Action: None
QSM-02174: the materialized view does not have a UNION ALL marker column
Cause: For a materialized view with UNION ALL to be fast refreshable, it must
have a UNION ALL marker column. This is a constant column, at the same
ordinal position in each query block and must have distinct values in each query
block.
Action: Add a UNION ALL marker column to each query block in the UNION
ALL query defining the materialized view.
QSM-00501 to QSM-03287 45-49
QSM-02175: some query block in UNION ALL MV is not fast refreshable
Cause: For a materialized view with UNION ALL to be fast refreshable, each
query block must conform to a fast refreshable materialized join view or
materialized aggregate view.
Action: Check each query block in the UNION ALL to ensure it is either a
materialized view with joins or aggregates.
QSM-02176: MV with UNION ALL in a view is too complex
Cause: If a materialized view has a view whose definition involves a UNION ALL
query, then the materialized view's defining query cannot have any clauses other
than SELECT or FROM. Other clauses such as WHERE, HAVING, CONNECT BY,
or GROUP BY are not allowed. Further more, the FROM clause should have only
one item.
Action: Remove any clauses besides SELECT and FROM from the materialized
view's defining query.
QSM-02177: MV with UNION ALL in a view must match the view's SELECT list
Cause: If a materialized view has a view whose definition involves a UNION ALL
query, then the materialized view's select list must match the underlying view's
select list exactly. It must not have any expressions and must not have
add/drop/reorder columns from the underlying view.
Action: Use select * when defining a materialized view with a UNION ALL in a
view.
QSM-02178: MV has a view with UNION ALL that is not fast refreshable
Cause: The materialized view has a view whose definition involves a UNION
ALL query that does not satisfy the requirements for fast refresh.
Action: Check that the defining query of the view being referenced in the
materialized view satisfies conditions for fast refresh of a UNION ALL
materialized view.
QSM-02179: MV with UNION ALL requires compatibility >= 9.2
Cause: The setting of the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter is less than 9.2.0.
Action: Set COMPATIBLE to 9.2.0 or higher.
QSM-02180: no primary key constraint in the master table
Cause: The explain_mview assumes that the materialized view is going to be
created as the Primary Key materialized view. A Primary Key materialized view
can not be created if the base table does not have a primary key constraint.
Action: Add a primary key constraint to the base table, or create the materialized
view as Rowid MV by specifying the WITH ROWID option. If the materialized
view is a Rowid MV, then it should be able to do complete refresh and even fast
refresh, given that the materialized view log on the master table has a rowid.
QSM-02181: a SPREADSHEET clause is present

requires that the defining query of a materialized view conform to either the star
or snowflake schema. A table can be either a fact or dimension table.
Action: Check the joins of the query to ensure they conform to the requirements.
QSM-03218: More than one table is classified as a fact table.
Cause: More than one of the base tables of the materialized view was classified as
a fact table for the purposes of synchronous refresh, which requires exactly one
fact table. Synchronous refresh requires that the defining query of a materialized
view conform to either the star or snowflake schema. A table can be either a fact or
dimension table. However, only one (and exactly one) can be fact table and the rest
must be dimension tables.
Action: Check the joins of the query to ensure they conform to the requirements.
QSM-03219: The materialized view is not partitioned and therefore is not eligible
for synchronous refresh.
Cause: The materialized view was not partitioned and therefore was not eligible
for synchronous refresh.

fact table cannot be related to the partition key of the materialized view (MV).
Action: Check the partition keys of both the fact table and materialized view and
the joins.
QSM-03223: The partition method used in the table or MV is not supported by MV
synchronous refresh.
Cause: An attempt was made to do synchronous refresh on a table or materialized
view (MV) that used an unsupported partition method.
Action: Check the partition method used in the table or MV definition to make
sure it is either range, range-range, range-list, or range-hash partition.
QSM-00501 to QSM-03287 45-57

subgroups had been processed and had a status of either COMPLETE or ABORT.
Action: Check the catalog views to determine the status of the synchronous
refresh group and its objects. Refer to the synchronous refresh documentation to
find out which refresh operations are valid in the various possible states of the
group.
QSM-03244: The partition operations registered on table string.string are not valid.
Cause: Either an illegal partition operation was specified in the register partition
operation or the partition name was incorrectly specified.
Action: Check that the partition_name belongs to a valid partition and that only
one operation is registered for a partition.
QSM-03245: The partition operations registered on partition string of table
string.string conflict with the data supplied in the staging logs.
Cause: The staging log contained changes to rows in the partition that were being
registered. These changes occur due to changes specified in the staging log of the
fact table or because of updates to dimension tables.
Action: Resolve these conflicts by either unregistering the partition or deleting the
rows from the named partition in the staging log of the fact table. If the conflicts
are due to dimension updates, provide all changes to the fact table in the staging
log rather than attempting to register the partition operations directly.
QSM-03246: The owner of outside partition string is string whereas it should be
string.
Cause: When registering the outside table, the user supplied the incorrect owner
for the outside table.
Action: Unregister the outside table and register it with the correct owner, which
should be the same as the owner of the base table.
QSM-03247: The staging log on table string.string has not been prepared.
Cause: PREPARE_REFRESH failed because the staging log for the specified table
was not prepared with PREPARE_STAGING_LOG. All staging logs of tables of the
group must be prepared before running PREPARE_REFRESH.
Action: Run PREPARE_STAGING_LOG on the specified table. Check that all
other tables in the group have been prepared.
QSM-03248: The materialized view string.string is already registered.
Cause: The specified materialized view (MV) has already been registered. A MV
can be registered only once.
Action: No action is necessary if the MV is in a valid state. If the MV is in an
invalid state, unregister the MV and re-register it with REGISTER_MVIEWS.
45-60 Oracle Database Error Messages
QSM-03249: The table string.string does not have a staging log.
Cause: REGISTER_MVIEWS failed because the staging log for the specified table
belonging to the materialized view (MV) being registered did not exist. All tables
on a MV are required to have staging logs created on them for the MV to be
registered for synchronous refresh.
Action: Create the staging log with the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG
statement with the FOR SYNCHRONOUS REFRESH clause. If the table already
has an ordinary MV log, use the ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG instead.
QSM-03250: The fact table string.string is not referenced by any MV in the group
and the changes to dimension tables contain deletes or updates.
Cause: PREPARE_REFRESH found that there was no materialized view (MV)
registered for synchronous refresh that contained the specified fact table as one of
its base tables and the changes to the dimension tables contained updates or
deletes. This error will not occur if the changes to the dimension tables contain
only inserts.
Action: There are many ways to handle this situation. Refer to the documentation
for details. One way is to unregister all MV's, drop staging logs on the tables or
alter them to ordinary logs and apply the changes to the tables. Then the MV's can
be refreshed using conventional methods instead of synchronous refresh. If
desired, the staging logs on the tables can be re-created and the MV's can be
registered for synchronous refresh. Another way is to register a MV which
references the specified fact table for synchronous refresh. If no such MV exists,
the user can first create one before registering it.
QSM-03251: The fact table string.string is not referenced by any MV in the group
and its staging log is not empty.
Cause: PREPARE_REFRESH found that there is no materialized view (MV)
registered for synchronous refresh that contained the specified fact table as one of
its base tables and the staging log for that table specified changes to it. PREPARE_
REFRESH supports fact tables without MV's defined on them if they meet two
conditions: a) the staging log for the fact table is empty; b) the staging logs for the
dimension tables in the group do not specify deletes or updates.
Action: There are many ways to handle this situation. Refer to the documentation
for details. Briefly, the two main ways are:
1. Register a MV which references the fact table for synchronous refresh. If no such
MV exists, you can create one.
2. Unregister all the MVs in the group; drop staging log on the table or alter it to
an ordinary MV log. Re-register the MVs which have been unregistered.
QSM-03252: The synchronous refresh group of table string.string is locked by
another operation.
Cause: Either REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION or UNREGISTER_
PARTITION_OPERATION detected that the synchronous refresh group to which
the table belonged had been locked by another synchronous refresh operation.
Action: Wait for the other operation to complete before attempting this operation
again.
QSM-03253: The synchronous refresh group of table string.string has been
unlocked by another operation.
Cause: Either REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION or UNREGISTER_
PARTITION_OPERATION detected that the synchronous refresh group to which
QSM-00501 to QSM-03287 45-61
the table belonged had been unlocked by another synchronous refresh operation.
This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services for assistance.
QSM-03254: The lock operation on synchronous refresh group string failed
unexpectedly.
Cause: The lock operation on the specified synchronous refresh group failed
unexpectedly. This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services for assistance.
QSM-03255: The unlock operation on synchronous refresh group string failed
unexpectedly.
Cause: The unlock operation on the specified synchronous refresh group failed
unexpectedly. This is an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services for assistance.
QSM-03256: The synchronous refresh group string is locked by another operation.
Cause: Either REGISTER_MVIEWS or PREPARE_REFRESH detected that the
synchronous refresh group to be processed by the requested operation had been
locked by another synchronous refresh operation.
Action: Wait for the other operation to complete before attempting this operation
again.
QSM-03257: The synchronous refresh group string has been unlocked by another
operation.
Cause: Either EXECUTE_REFRESH or ABORT_REFRESH detected that the
synchronous refresh group to be processed by the requested operation had been
unlocked by another synchronous refresh operation. This is an unexpected
condition and may indicate an internal error.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services for assistance.
QSM-03258: The value supplied for the parameter string is too long.
Cause: The value supplied for the specified parameter exceeded the maximum
length allowed for that parameter.
Action: Supply a valid value for the specified parameter.
QSM-03259: The value supplied for the parameter string is malformed.
Cause: The value supplied for the specified parameter was invalid.
Action: Supply a valid value for the specified parameter.
QSM-03260: The materialized views being registered are not defined on tables.
Cause: The materialized views being registered were not defined on tables, but
were defined on top of other types of objects such as views or materialized views.
Synchronous refresh works only with materialized views defined on tables.
Action: Do not register such materialized views for synchronous refresh.
QSM-03261: The partition operation name string is not valid.
Cause: Either REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION or UNREGISTER_
PARTITION_OPERATION detected that the partition operation name did not
belong to the DROP, EXCHANGE or TRUNCATE value.
Action: Check the parameter partition operation carefully, and change it to DROP,
EXCHANGE or TRUNCATE.
45-62 Oracle Database Error Messages
QSM-03262: The object string.string is not registered for Synchronous Refresh.
Cause: REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION or UNREGISTER_PARTITION_
OPERATION detected that either:
- This object was not registered for synchronous refresh.
- The synchronous refresh group was not in the current run.
- The object was not a table type.
Action: Make sure this object is registered for synchronous refresh, the
synchronous refresh group is in the current run, and the object is a table type.
QSM-03263: There is already a partition operation registered on string.string
partition string.
Cause: REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION detected that there was already a
partition maintenance operation (for example, DROP, EXCHANGE or
TRUNCATE) registered on the specified partition of the base table.
Action: Use the UNREGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION to unregister this
partition first, and then run REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION.
QSM-03264: There is no partition named string in base table string.string.
Cause: REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION detected that there was no
partition with the specified name in the base table.
Action: Check the parameter PARTITION_NAME, and make sure it is a valid
partition in the base table.
QSM-03265: The outside table string.string does not exist.
Cause: REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION detected that the outside table
schema or table name did not exist or was not valid.
Action: Check the parameters OUTSIDE_PARTN_TABLE_SCHEMA or
OUTSIDE_PARTN_TABLE_NAME, and make sure the outside table exists.
QSM-03266: Tablespace of base table string does not match the tablespace of
outside partition table string.
Cause: REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION detected that the tablespace of the
base table for any partition or subpartition did not match the tablespace of the
outside partition table.
Action: Alter the tablespace of outside partition table to match the tablespace of
the base table, or check if the outside partition table is eligible for REGISTER_
PARTITION_OPERATION or not.
QSM-03267: The outside partition table string contains at least one record that is
not within the partition range of the base table string.
Cause: REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION detected that the outside partition
table contained at least one record that was not within the partition range of the
base table.
Action: Check the records to see if the outside partition table is eligible for the
REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION.
QSM-03268: Synchronous refresh can only support top partition by RANGE.
Cause: REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION detected the base table was not
partitioned by RANGE on top.
Action: The base table is not eligible for REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION.
QSM-00501 to QSM-03287 45-63
QSM-03269: The number of partitions of the base table string and the outside table
string do not match.
Cause: The base table was composite-partitioned. The partition number of the
outside partition did not match the number of subpartitions inside the specified
partition of the base table.
Action: Check the partitions to see if the outside partition table is eligible for the
REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION.
QSM-03270: There is no partition operation registered on string.string partition
string.
Cause: UNREGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION detected that there was no
partition maintenance operation (for example, DROP, EXCHANGE and
TRUNCATE) registered on the specified partition of the base table.
Action: Use the REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION to register this partition
first, and then run UNREGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION.
QSM-03271: The partition name of outside partition table string does not match the
subpartition name of base table string.
Cause: REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION detected that the partition name of
the outside partition table did not match the subpartition name of base table.
Action: Alter the partition name of outside partition table to match the partition
name of the base table, or check if the outside partition table is eligible for
REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION or not.
QSM-03272: There are no changes loaded for any tables in this group.
Cause: There were no changes recorded for any tables in this group. The changes
to a table can be provided in its staging log or by specifying partition change
operations with REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION.
Action: Provide the appropriate changes to the tables in the group.
QSM-03276: The specified schema string of the staging log is different from the
owning schema string of the base table.
Cause: The user-specified schema of the staging log was different from the
owning schema of the base table. They must be in the same schema if the schema
of the staging log is specified.
Action: Specify the owning schema of the base table as the schema of the staging
log or do not specify the schema for the staging log.
QSM-03277: An internal error related to tracing messages to SYNCREF_MESG has
occurred.
Cause: This is an internal error as noted in the message.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services for assistance.
QSM-03278: The table SYNCREF_MESG is not present in the SYS schema.
Cause: This is an internal error related to tracing messages to the table SYNCREF_
MESG. It occurs if the event 31904 is set to level 4 or 8 but the message table
SYNCREF_MESG is not created in the SYS schema. Oracle does not support levels
4 and 8 in event 31904.
Action: Execute the command again after unsetting levels 4 and 8 in event 31904.
QSM-03280: One or more materialized views failed to refresh successfully.
45-64 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The base tables in the group refreshed successfully but one or more
materialized views in the group did not. The status of the group for synchronous
refresh operation was set to PARTIAL in this case.
Action: To find the materialized views which failed, query the USER_SR_OBJ_
STATUS catalog view. Take one of the following courses of action:
* Issue the EXECUTE_REFRESH command again to retry refreshing the views. In
this case EXECUTE_REFRESH will internally use the PCT refresh mode to refresh
the materialized views.
* Issue the ABORT_REFRESH command to abort the refresh of all objects in the
group, including the base tables, and restore them to the original state.
QSM-03281: The specified GROUP_ID is not valid.
Cause: The GROUP_ID specified as input to the refresh operation was not valid
and does not identify a valid synchronous refresh group.
Action: Provide the correct GROUP_ID. Use the DBMS_SYNC_REFRESH.GET_
GROUP_ID to get the correct GROUP_ID.
QSM-03282: A materialized view is registered on a table related to string.string.
Cause: The staging log creation on the specified table failed because a table
related to it by referential-integrity constraint has a materialized view which was
registered for synchronous refresh with the REGISTER_MVIEWS command.
Oracle requires that you first register the tables before registering any materialized
view defined on them.
Action: Unregister the materialized views defined on the related tables with the
UNREGISTER_MVIEWS command. Then, register the tables with synchronous
refresh by creating staging logs on them. Finally, register any materialized views
you wish to register for synchronous refresh with REGISTER_MVIEWS.
QSM-03283: The materialized view string.string has not been registered.
Cause: The specified materialized view was not registered for synchronous
refresh.
Action: Register the materialized view with DBMS_SYNC_REFRESH.REGISTER_
MVIEWS. Use the USER_SR_OBJ catalog view to verify the materialized view has
been registered.
QSM-03284: There is no foreign key constraint defined on string referencing
string.string.
Cause: The table of REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION did not define a
foreign key constraint on its referred base table.
Action: Define a foreign key constraint on its referred base table and retry the
operation.
QSM-03285: There is no primary key constraint defined on string.string.
Cause: The table of REGISTER_PARTITION_OPERATION did not define a
primary key constraint on it.
Action: Define a primary key constraint on the table and retry the operation.
QSM-03286: Complex materialized view was not allowed for synchronous refresh.
Cause: There was a complex materialized view in the synchronous refresh group.
Action: Remove the complex materialized view in the synchronous refresh group.
QSM-03287: synchronous refresh internal error: [string]
QSM-00501 to QSM-03287 45-65
Cause: This was an internal error in synchronous refresh.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services with the complete message.

RMAN-00572: waiting for DBMS_PIPE input
Cause: This message is used only when the PIPE option was specified.
Action: enqueue some RMAN input into the pipe
RMAN-00573: DBMS_PIPE.NEXT_ITEM_TIME returned unknown type code:
number
Cause: This is an internal error.
Action: contact Oracle Support Services.
RMAN-00574: rman aborting due to errors reading/writing DBMS_PIPE
Cause: RMAN was run with input/output being sent to DBMS_PIPE. An error
was encountered while reading from or writing to the pipe. This error should be
preceded by information describing the error.
Action: RMAN terminates. Refer to the cause/action for the preceding errors.
RMAN-00575: timeout while trying to write to DBMS_PIPE
Cause: d by death of the process that was talking to rman.
Action: RMAN will abort.
RMAN-00576: PIPE cannot be used with CMDFILE
Cause: The PIPE and CMDFILE options cannot be used together. When using the
PIPE option, RMAN must obtain its input from the input pipe.
Action: Remove either the PIPE or CMDFILE option.
RMAN-00577: PIPE requires that TARGET be specified on the command line
Cause: The PIPE option obtains its input from, and writes its output to, an Oracle
database pipe in the target database. Therefore, the target database connection
must be specified on the command line, so that RMAN can connect to the target
database to receive its input from the pipe.
Action: Specify the TARGET option on the RMAN command line.
RMAN-00578: pipe string is not private and owned by SYS
Cause: The pipe that RMAN needs to use for its input or output is either a public
pipe or a private pipe that is not owned by SYS. This is a potential security
problem, because it allows a non-SYS user to issue commands to RMAN or to
retrieve the RMAN output.
Action: If you are attempting to put data on the RMAN input pipe prior to
starting RMAN, so RMAN will process the data on the pipe as soon as it starts,
you must be connected as SYS and you must first use the DBMS_PIPE.CREATE_
PIPE function to explicitly create the pipe as a private pipe.
RMAN-00579: SCRIPT cannot be used with CMDFILE
Cause: The SCRIPT and CMDFILE options cannot be used together. When using
the SCRIPT option, RMAN executes only the specified script.
Action: Remove either the SCRIPT or CMDFILE option.
RMAN-00600: internal error, arguments [string] [string] [string] [string] [string]
Cause: An internal error in recovery manager occurred.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
RMAN-00601: fatal error in recovery manager
Cause: A fatal error has occurred.
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-5
Action: This message should be accompanied by other error message(s) indicating
the cause of the error.
RMAN-00700: SCRIPT requires that TARGET be specified on the command line
Cause: A SCRIPT option was included on the RMAN command line without a
specified TARGET database.
Action: Specify the TARGET option on the RMAN command line.
RMAN-00701: SCRIPT requires that CATALOG be specified on the command line
Cause: A SCRIPT option was included on the RMAN command line without a
specified CATALOG recovery catalog.
Action: Specify the CATALOG option on the RMAN command line.
RMAN-00702: The command has no syntax errors
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-00703: The cmdfile has no syntax errors
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-01006: error signaled during parse
Cause: An error was signaled during parsing.
Action: This message should be accompanied by other error message(s) indicating
the cause of the error.
RMAN-01007: at line number column number file: string
Cause: This is an informational message indicating the line and column where a
syntax error was detected.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-01008: the bad identifier was: string
Cause: This is an informational message indicating the identifier token that
caused a syntax error.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-01009: syntax error: found "string": expecting one of: "string"
Cause: A syntax error was signaled during parsing.
Action: Correct the input.
RMAN-02000: wrong message file version (msg number not found)
Cause: The rmanxx.msb file is not the correct version.
Action: Check that the installation was done correctly. The RMAN binary
(executable, load module, whatever it is called on your O/S) and the rmanxx.msb
file must be from the same version, release, and patch level.
RMAN-02001: unrecognized punctuation symbol "string"
Cause: An illegal punctuation character was encountered.
Action: Remove the illegal character.
RMAN-02002: unexpected end of input file reached
46-6 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: This is probably caused by failure to supply the closing quote for a quoted
string.
Action: Correct the input.
RMAN-02003: unrecognized character: string
Cause: An input character that is neither an alpha, digit, or punctuation was
encountered.
Action: Remove the character.
RMAN-02004: quoted string too big
Cause: A quoted string longer than 2000 bytes was encountered.
Action: This may be caused by a missing close quote. If so, add the missing quote,
otherwise shorten the string.
RMAN-02005: token too big
Cause: A token longer than 1000 bytes was encountered
Action: Tokens must be separated by whitespace or punctuation. Either add the
missing whitespace or punctuation, or shorten the token.
RMAN-02006: script line too long
Cause: a line longer than 500 bytes was encountered
Action: break the line up into shorter lines
RMAN-02007: Integer value overflow
Cause: Parser failed to convert input string to integer
Action: Acceptable values for integer are from 0 to 2147483648. Retry command
using valid integer value.
RMAN-02008: no value exists for variable "string"
Cause: The RMAN variable specified was either undefined or null
Action: Verify that a proper value has been given to that variable.
RMAN-02009: unexpected end of command file reached
Cause: This is probably caused by failure to supply the closing brace for a stored
script in a command file.
Action: Correct the input.
RMAN-03000: recovery manager compiler component initialization failed

RMAN-05523: Tablespace string is read only and SKIP READONLY was specified
Cause: Conflicting parameters were provided.
Action: Remove SKIP READONLY or remove read-only tablespace from list of
tablespaces to duplicate.
RMAN-05524: Tablespace string is offline
Cause: It was not possible to duplicate offline tablespaces.
Action: Remove offline tablespace from list or online tablespace to duplicate it.
RMAN-05525: SKIP TABLESPACE cannot be used when using DUPLICATE
TABLESPACE
Cause: A SKIP TABLESPACE clause was specified for the command.
Action: Remove the SKIP TABLESPACE clause and try again.
RMAN-05526: datafile number not processed because file is OFFLINE IMMEDIATE
Cause: A DUPLICATE command omitted processing the indicated datafile
because it is offline immediate. The tablespace to which this datafile belongs will
also not be included. See message 5528.
Action: None, informational message only.
RMAN-05527: Tablespace string has one or more OFFLINE IMMEDIATE datafiles
Cause: It was not possible to duplicate a tablespace who had offline immediate
tablespaces.
Action: Remove offending tablespace from list or recover datafile which are
offline immediate in the tablespace before attempting the command again.
RMAN-05528: datafile number not processed because file belongs to tablespace

because it is part of a tablespace that has offline immediate datafile. See message
Action: No action is required. This is an informational message only.
RMAN-05529: WARNING: DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT resulted in invalid ASM
names; names changed to disk group only.
Cause: It was not possible to convert ASM Oracle Managed Files names using
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT parameter. RMAN changed these invalid names to
the converted disk group name instead.
Action: No action is required. This is an informational message only. If the
automatic change is incorrect, use one of the following options instead of using
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-29
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT for ASM Oracle Managed Files: 1) use RMAN
command SET NEWNAME for each Oracle Managed File. 2) set DB_CREATE_
FILE_DEST initialization parameter in auxiliary instance and not specify DB_
FILE_NAME_CONVERT.
RMAN-05530: an UNTIL TIME or SCN cannot be specified with FROM ACTIVE
DATABASE
Cause: A DUPLICATE with FROM ACTIVE DATABASE was specified along with
either a SET UNTIL statment or UNTIL clause on the command. This is not
supported. A DUPLICATE FROM ACTIVE DATABASE always creates a copy as
of the current time.
Action: Check the statement and remove the use of UNTIL.
RMAN-05531: a mounted database cannot be duplicated while datafiles are fuzzy
Cause: A DUPLICATE with FROM ACTIVE DATABASE command was specified
while the database was mounted or open read-only. Unless the database is open
read/write, the datafiles cannot be fuzzy.
Action: Open the database read/write, then shutdown cleanly before mounting.
RMAN-05532: PASSWORD FILE specified without FROM ACTIVE DATABASE
Cause: The PASSWORD FILE clause of the DUPLICATE command was specified
but the FROM ACTIVE DATABASE clause was not. A password file can only be
duplicated if the FROM ACTIVE DATABSE clause has been used.
Action: Remove the PASSWORD FILE clause from the command, or perform an
online duplicate of the database by specifying the FROM ACTIVE DATABASE
clause.
RMAN-05533: string is not supported on string database
Cause: The specified command is not supported on this type of database. The
type of database can be STANDBY, CLONE, or RAC.
Action: Do not use the specified command against this database.
RMAN-05534: WARNING: LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT resulted in invalid ASM
names; names changed to disk group only.
Cause: It was not possible to convert ASM Oracle Managed Files names using
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT parameter. RMAN changed these invalid names to
the converted disk group name instead.
Action: If the automatic change is incorrect, use one of the following options
instead of using LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT for ASM Oracle Managed Files: 1)
Use the LOGFILE clause for online log files. 2) After DUPLICATE completes,
create standby log files using the SQL ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY
LOGFILE command.
RMAN-05535: WARNING: All redo log files were not defined properly.
Cause: It was not possible to define all the redo log files. This can occur when
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT initialization parameter is defined but fails to
match all the names or causes names to be created that are not in valid directories.
Action: Query the V$LOGFILE view to see what redo log files are defined after
DUPLICATE has completed. Use the ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE SQL
command to correctly name the existing redo log files.
RMAN-05536: auxiliary logfile name string conflicts with a file used by the target
database
46-30 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: RMAN attempted to use the specified logfile name as a standby redo log
file in the auxiliary database, but this name was already in use by the target
database.
Action: Use or alter LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT so that unique logfile names
can be generated. Or wait for the command to complete and create standby
logfiles using the SQL ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE command.
RMAN-05537: DUPLICATE without TARGET connection when auxiliary instance
is started with spfile cannot use SPFILE clause
Cause: A DUPLICATE was attempted when the auxiliary database was started
with a server parameter file and the SPFILE sub-clause was specified. RMAN
cannot restore the server parameter file if the auxiliary database is already started
with a server parameter file.
Action: Start the auxiliary database with a client parameter file or do not specify
SPFILE sub-clause and retry.
RMAN-05538: WARNING: implicitly using DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT
Cause: The duplicated SPFILE had DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT set and it has
been used to produce datafile names for the new database.
Action: No action is required. This is an informational message only. If this
behavior was not intended, then do not duplicate the server parameter file, or
explicitly set DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT in the DUPLICATE command and
retry the operation.
RMAN-05539: DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE cannot be used without
connecting to the TARGET
Cause: A DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE was attempted and no connection to
the TARGET database was established.
Action: Connect to TARGET or use DATABASE
RMAN-05540: no archived logs found in repository for database string
Cause: Recovery catalog did not have archived log records for the specified
database. If database is running in NOARCHIVELOG mode, then specify
NOREDO.
Action: Specify NOREDO for NOARCHIVELOG databases. Cannot duplicate an
ARCHIVELOG database unless the recovery catalog or target database control file
has archived redo log information about it.
RMAN-05541: no archived logs found in target database
Cause: Target database was running in archived log mode, but control file did not
have any archived log records.
Action: Archive current log before retrying command.
RMAN-05542: Only UNTIL TIME can be used with DUPLICATE without TARGET
and CATALOG connections
Cause: A DUPLICATE without TARGET and CATALOG connections was
attempted specifying an UNTIL clause that was not TIME based.

clause.
RMAN-05543: DUPLICATE without TARGET connection requires that DATABASE
is specified
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-31
Cause: A DUPLICATE without TARGET connection was attempted without
specifying the database to duplicate.
Action: Retry the command specifying the DATABASE to duplicate.
RMAN-05544: Cannot specify ACTIVE DATABASE when not connected to target
database
Cause: DUPLICATE from ACTIVE DATABASE required a connection to the
target database.
Action: Connect to target database or remove from ACTIVE DATABASE and
retry the command.
RMAN-05545: WARNING: Until SCN string is ahead of SCN of last full resync of
recovery catalog: string
Cause: The specified point-in-time for duplication without a target connection
was ahead of the last time that the datafile information was resynced to the
recovery catalog. Information about offline and read-only datafiles might be
incorrect.
Action: If duplication fails due to incorrectly identified offline and/or read-only
datafiles, specify a point-in-time before the last resync of the recovery catalog and
retry the command. Or perform full resync of the target database and retry the
command.
RMAN-05546: DUPLICATE without TARGET and CATALOG connections requires
that BACKUP LOCATION is specified
Cause: A DUPLICATE without TARGET and CATALOG connections was
attempted without specifying BACKUP LOCATION.
Action: Retry the command specifying a BACKUP LOCATION.
RMAN-05547: Checking that duplicated tablespaces are self-contained
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-05548: The set of duplicated tablespaces is not self-contained
Cause: A DUPLICATE TABLESPACE has specified a set of tablespaces that
cannot function independently.
Action: Retry the command without incomplete tablespaces or add other
tablespaces to make the set self-contained.
RMAN-05549: The following SYS objects were found in skipped tablespaces
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-05550: TARGET database not open, cannot verify that set of tablespaces
being duplicated does not have SYS objects
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.

being duplicated does not have SYS objects
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
46-32 Oracle Database Error Messages
RMAN-05552: Object string on tablespace string
Cause: A SYS object was found in one of the skipped tablespaces.
Action: Remove object if possible or include tablespace in duplicated tablespaces.
RMAN-05553: SYS objects in skipped tablespaces prevent duplication
Cause: Objects owned by SYS were found in the tablespaces that would not be
duplicated.
Action: If using SKIP TABLESPACE, do not skip tablespaces that contain SYS
objects. If using DUPLICATE TABLESPACE, make sure to specify all tablespaces
containing SYS objects.
RMAN-05554: cannot specify INCARNATION when duplicating without TARGET
and CATALOG connections
Cause: A DUPLICATE without TARGET and CATALOG connections was
attempted when INCARNATION was also specified.
Action: Retry the command without specifying INCARNATION.
RMAN-05555: Not connected to TARGET or TARGET not open, cannot verify that
subset of tablespaces is self-contained
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-05556: not all datafiles have backups that can be recovered to SCN string
Cause: One or more datafiles being duplicated could not be restored as no
available backups were found.
Action: Change the system change number (SCN) or make backups available for
the specified datafiles and retry the command.
RMAN-05557: Target instance not started with server parameter file
Cause: SPFILE clause was used but target instance was not started with a server
parameter file.
Action: Do not specify SPFILE clause, or restart target instance with server
parameter file.

Cause: A DUPLICATE FOR STANDBY … SPFILE command was issued but DB_
UNIQUE_NAME was not provided for the standby database.
Action: Specify a DB_UNIQUE_NAME in the SPFILE clause for the standby
database.
RMAN-05559: error converting parameter string, string larger than number
Cause: While attempting to apply a PARAMETER_VALUE_CONVERT to the
specified parameter value, the resulting string exceeded the maximum length for a
value.
Action: Change the PARAMETER_VALUE_CONVERT so that, when converting
the parameter, the maximum lenght is not reached.
RMAN-05560: Using previous duplicated file string for datafile number with
checkpoint SCN of string
Cause: A datafile copy from a previous duplicate attempt matching the duplicate
name requested was found for the specified datafile and will be used instead of
restoring the datafile from a backup.
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-33
Action: No action needed unless this behavior is not desire. In that case, either use
a different name for the datafile or use NORESUME to avoid using previous
datafile copies for all the datafiles.
RMAN-05561: CATALOG did not return information about tablespaces with undo
segments
Cause: A DUPLICATE with no target connection was attempted, but the recovery
catalog did not have information about the tablespaces with undo segments at the
specified point in time. It is necessary that the list of tablespaces with undo
segments is provided with the UNDO TABLESPACE clause.
Action: Retry the command specifying the list of tablespaces with undo segments
using the UNDO TABLESPACE clause.

operands.
Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further
details.
RMAN-06024: no backup or copy of the control file found to restore
Cause: A control file restore could not proceed because no backup or copy of the
control file was found. It may be the case that a backup or copy of this file exists
but does not satisfy the criteria specified in the user's restore operands.
Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further
details.
RMAN-06025: no backup of archived log for thread number with sequence number
and starting SCN of string found to restore
Cause: An archived log restore restore could not proceed because no backup of
the indicated archived log was found. It may be the case that a backup of this file
exists but does not satisfy the criteria specified in the user's restore operands.
Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further
details.
RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
Cause: Some of the files specified for restore could not be found. Message 6023,
6024, or 6025 is also issued to indicate which files could not be found. Some
common reasons why a file can not be restored are that there is no backup or copy
of the file that is known to recovery manager, or there are no backups or copies
that fall within the criteria specified on the RESTORE command, or some datafile
copies have been made but not cataloged.
Action: The Recovery Manager LIST command can be used to display the
backups and copies that Recovery Manager knows about. Select the files to be
restored from that list.
RMAN-06027: no archived logs found that match specification
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-43
Cause: An archived log record specifier did not match any archived logs in the
recovery catalog or target database control file.
Action: Resubmit the command with a different archived log record specifier. The
Recovery Manager (RMAN) LIST command can be used to display all archived
logs that RMAN knows about.
RMAN-06028: duplicate operand specified in restore specification: string
Cause: The CHANNEL, TAG, FROM, PARMS, VALIDATE, DEVICE TYPE,
CHECK READONLY or DB_UNIQUE_NAME option was specified more than
once in the restore command or in one of the restore specifications.
Action: Correct and resubmit the command.
RMAN-06029: the control file may be included only in a datafile backup set
Cause: The "include current/standby control file" option was specified for an
archived log backup set.
Action: Use this option only for datafile backup sets.
RMAN-06030: the DELETE [ALL] INPUT option may not be used with a datafile
backup set
Cause: The DELETE [ALL] INPUT option was specified for a backup that
contains the current control file or datafile.
Action: Remove the option and resubmit the command.
RMAN-06031: could not translate database keyword
Cause: An error was received when calling DBMS_RCVMAN
Action: This message should be accompanied by other error message(s) indicating
the cause of the error.
RMAN-06032: at least 1 channel of TYPE DISK must be allocated to execute a
COPY command
Cause: No channel of TYPE DISK was allocated.
Action: Allocate a channel of TYPE DISK and re-issue the command.
RMAN-06033: channel string not allocated
Cause: An rman command requests a specific channel, but the requested channel
has not been allocated.
Action: ALLOCATE the channel, or correct the channel identifier.
RMAN-06034: at least 1 channel must be allocated to execute this command
Cause: No channels were allocated.
Action: ALLOCATE a channel.

Cause: The "recover.bsq" file is incompatible with the RMAN executable.
Action: Install the correct version of recover.bsq.
RMAN-06036: datafile number is already restored to file string
Cause: A SET NEWNAME command was issued to restore a datafile to a location
other than the original datafile, and Recovery Manager determined that the best
candidate for restoring the file is the datafile copy with the same name, therefore
the file is already restored and no action need be taken.
Action: None - this is an informational message.
46-44 Oracle Database Error Messages
RMAN-06038: recovery catalog package detected an error
Cause: A call to DBMS_RCVMAN returned an error.
Action: This message should be accompanied by other error message(s) indicating
the cause of the error.
RMAN-06039: SET NEWNAME command has not been issued for datafile string
Cause: A SWITCH command was specified for a datafile, but no destination was
specified and no SET NEWNAME command has been previously issued for that
file. An explicit file to switch to must be specified if no SET NEWNAME command
has been issued.
Action: Correct and resubmit the SWITCH command.
RMAN-06040: control file is already restored to file string
Cause: The best candidate control file for restoration is the one that is named in
the RESTORE CONTROLFILE command, hence no action need be taken.

RMAN-06050: archived log for thread number with sequence number is already on
disk as file string
Cause: An archived log which was requested to be restored (either explicitly or
via a range specification) does not need to be restored because it already exists on
disk.
Action: None - this is an informational message
RMAN-06051: DELETE INPUT option not implemented yet
Cause: This option was specified in a backup specification.
Action: Remove the DELETE INPUT option.
RMAN-06052: no parent backup or copy of datafile number found
Cause: An incremental backup at level 1 or higher could not find any parent
backup or copy of the indicated datafile. A level 0 backup of the datafile will be
taken automatically.
Action: This is an informational message only.
RMAN-06053: unable to perform media recovery because of missing log
Cause: This message is accompanied with another message identifying the
missing log. The log would be needed to perform the media recovery, but the log
is not on disk and no backup set containing the log is available.
Action: Determine if a backup set containing the log can be made available. If so,
then use the CHANGE command to make the backup set available and retry the
command. If not, then a point-in-time recovery up to the missing log is the only
alternative.
RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown archived log for thread string
with sequence string and starting SCN of string
Cause: Media recovery is requesting a log whose existence is not recorded in the
recovery catalog or target database control file.
Action: If a copy of the log is available, then add it to the recovery catalog and/or
control file via a CATALOG command and then retry the RECOVER command. If
not, then a point-in-time recovery up to the missing log is the only alternative and
database can be opened using ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS command.
RMAN-06055: could not find archived log with sequence string for thread string
Cause: A log which was on disk at the start of media recovery or which should
have been restored from a backup set could not be found.
Action: Check the Recovery Manager message log to see if the log was restored by
a previous job step. If so, then check the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to see if the log
is listed in the control file. If so, then validate that the log exists on disk and is
readable. If the log was not restored, or was restored but no record of the log exists
in V$ARCHIVED_LOG, then contact Oracle Support Services.
RMAN-06056: could not access datafile number
Cause: A backup or copy could not proceed because the datafile header could not
be read or the header was not valid.
46-46 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Make the datafile accessible or skip it.
RMAN-06057: a standby control file cannot be included along with a current
control file
Cause: "current control file" was specified along with "standby control file".
Action: Remove "current control file" or "standby control file" from backup
specification.
RMAN-06058: a current control file cannot be included along with a standby
control file
Cause: "standby control file" was specified along with "current control file".
Action: Remove "standby control file" or "current control file" from backup
specification.
RMAN-06059: expected archived log not found, loss of archived log compromises
recoverability
Cause: The archived log was not found. The recovery catalog or target database
control file thinks it does exist. If the archived log has in fact been lost and there is
no backup, then the database is no longer recoverable across the point-in-time
covered by the archived log. This may occur because the archived log was
removed by an outside utility without updating the recovery catalog or target
database control file.
Action: If the archived log has been removed with an outside utility and the
archived log has already been backed up, then you can synchronize the recovery
catalog or target database control file by running CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG
ALL. If the archived log has not been previously backed up, then you should take
a full backup of the database and archived logs to preserve recoverability. Previous
backups are not fully recoverable.
RMAN-06060: WARNING: skipping datafile compromises tablespace string
recoverability
Cause: SKIP INACCESSIBLE or SKIP OFFLINE option resulted in skipping
datafile during BACKUP. If the datafile has in fact been lost and there is no
backup, then the tablespace is no longer recoverable without ALL archived logs
since datafile creation. This may occur because the datafile was deleted by an
outside utility or the datafile is made OFFLINE [DROP].
Action: If there is no backup of skipped datafile and the tablespace has to be
recoverable without ALL archived logs since datafile creation, then you should
make these datafile available for backup.
RMAN-06061: WARNING: skipping archived log compromises recoverability
Cause: SKIP INACCESSIBLE option resulted in skipping archived logs during
BACKUP. If the archived log has in fact been lost and there is no backup, then the
database is no longer recoverable across the point-in-time covered by the archived
log. This may occur because archived log was removed by an outside utility
without updating the recovery catalog or target database control file.
Action: If the archived log has been removed with an outside utility and the
archived log has already been backed up, then you can synchronize the recovery
catalog or target database control file by running CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG
ALL. If the archived log has not been previously backed up, then you should take
a full backup of the database and archived logs to preserve recoverability. Previous
backups are not fully recoverable.
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-47
RMAN-06062: can not backup SPFILE because the instance was not started with
SPFILE
Cause: A backup command requested a backup of the SPFILE, but no SPFILE was
used to startup the instance.
Action: Create an SPFILE and re-start the instance using the SPFILE or modify the
command.
RMAN-06063: DBID is not found in the recovery catalog
Cause: DBID is not found in the recovery catalog.
Action: Verify that the DBID is correct and restart the command.
RMAN-06064: creating datafile file number=string name=string
Cause: RESTORE/RECOVER command was issued and there were no backup
available for the datafile.
Action: This is an informational message only.
RMAN-06065: The operand [string] conflicts with another specified operand.
Cause: An attempt was made to use two (or more) conflicting operands within
the same statement.
Action: Remove one or both of the conflicting operands.
RMAN-06066: the target database must be mounted when issuing a RECOVER
command
Cause: A RECOVER command was issued, but the target database control file is
not mounted.
Action: Mount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE
MOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.
RMAN-06067: RECOVER DATABASE required with a backup or created control
file
Cause: The control file has been restored from a backup or was created via ALTER
DATABASE CREATE CONTROLFILE.
Action: Use the RECOVER DATABASE command to perform the recovery.
RMAN-06068: recovery aborted because of missing datafiles
Cause: This error should be accompanied by one or more instances of message
ORA-06094.
Action: Refer to message ORA-06094.
RMAN-06069: the file name for datafile string is missing in the control file
Cause: Media recovery of a backup control file added this datafile to the control
file, but it does not set the file name because that is unsafe.
Action: If the datafile is on disk, then issue ALTER DATABASE RENAME to
correct the control file. Otherwise, RESTORE the datafile, and then use SWITCH to
make it known to the control file. If the tablespace containing this datafile will be
dropped, then reissue the RECOVER command with a SKIP clause to skip
recovery of this tablespace.
RMAN-06070: DBWR could not identify datafile string
Cause: DBWR could not find the specified datafile.
Action: Ensure that the datafile exists and is accessible.
46-48 Oracle Database Error Messages
RMAN-06071: could not open datafile string
Cause: An error was encountered when trying to open the specified datafile.
Action: Ensure that the datafile exists and is accessible.
RMAN-06073: file header is corrupt for datafile string
Cause: ORACLE detected a corruption in the file header. A media failure has
probably occurred.
Action: RESTORE the datafile to a new location, then do a SWITCH, and then
retry the RECOVER command.
RMAN-06074: file string is not an ORACLE datafile
Cause: The file header indicates that this file is not a datafile. The file may have
been overlaid or corrupted.
Action: RESTORE the datafile to a new location, then do a SWITCH, and then
retry the RECOVER command.
RMAN-06075: datafile string does not belong to this database
Cause: The file header indicates that this file belongs to some other ORACLE
database.
Action: RESTORE the datafile to a new location, then do a SWITCH, and then
retry the RECOVER command.
RMAN-06076: datafile string contains wrong datafile
Cause: The datafile header indicates the file contains a different datafile number.
Action: RESTORE the datafile, and then retry the RECOVER command.
RMAN-06077: datafile string is a different version than contained in the control file
Cause: The control file entry for this datafile specifies a different version of this
datafile. Different versions of a datafile can exist when a tablespace is dropped,
and a new tablespace is created which reuses the same datafile numbers.
Action: If the datafile is correct, the fix the control file by using the SWITCH
command. Otherwise, RESTORE the correct version of this datafile and retry the
RECOVER command.
RMAN-06078: the control file is older than datafile string
Cause: The control file appears to be older than the specified datafile, but it is not
marked as a backup control file. This indicates that the control file has been
replaced with an older version. This error does not occur when a backup control
file which was created via Recovery Manager or the ALTER DATABASE BACKUP
CONTROLFILE command is restored because such control files are marked as
backups.
Action: RESTORE a control file and perform RECOVER DATABASE.
RMAN-06079: database must be mounted to perform recovery
Cause: A RECOVER command was issued, but the target database is not
mounted.
Action: Issue ALTER DATABASE MOUNT.
RMAN-06080: SWITCH required for datafile string
Cause: The control file record for this datafile is for an older incarnation of the
datafile. A SWITCH command must be issued to updated the control file before
doing RECOVER.
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-49
Action: Issue SWITCH command then retry RECOVER.
RMAN-06081: error reading datafile header for datafile string, code string
Cause: X$KCVFH returned the specified code in the HXERR column when it was
queried for the specified datafile.
Action: Ensure the datafile exists and is readable. Using a newer release of
Recovery Manager may return a more meaningful error message. If you have no
newer version of Recovery Manager, contact Oracle Support Services.
RMAN-06082: datafile copy tag string is ambiguous
Cause: The specified tag refers to multiple datafile copies belonging to different
datafiles.
Action: Specify the datafile copy by file name rather than by tag.
RMAN-06083: error when loading stored script string
Cause: The recovery catalog database returned an error. This error explains the
cause of the problem.
Action: Correct the problem and retry.
RMAN-06084: the target database may not be mounted when issuing REPLICATE
Cause: A REPLICATE command was issued, but the target database is already
mounted.
Action: dismount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE
CLOSE and ALTER DATABASE DISMOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server
Manager.
RMAN-06085: must use SET NEWNAME command to restore datafile string
Cause: A RESTORE command for the specified datafile could not find a
destination name for the specified datafile.
Action: Add a SET NEWNAME command prior to the RESTORE command to
specify the restore destination for this file.
RMAN-06086: offline files may only be skipped in a datafile backup set
Cause: The SKIP OFFLINE option was specified for an archived log backup set.
Action: Use this option only for datafile backup sets.
RMAN-06087: read-only files may only be skipped in a datafile backup set
Cause: The SKIP READONLY option was specified for an archived log backup
set.
Action: Use this option only for datafile backup sets.
RMAN-06088: datafile copy string not found or out of sync with catalog
Cause: The indicated file is not found, or is found but is not the same file that the
recovery catalog thinks it is. It is likely that some operation outside of Recovery
Manager has altered the file, or that Recovery Manager has not resynced with the
target database.
Action: Re-catalog the file and retry the operation.
RMAN-06089: archived log string not found or out of sync with catalog
Cause: The indicated file is not found, or is found but is not the same file that the
recovery catalog thinks it is. It is likely that some operation outside of Recovery
Manager has altered the file, or that Recovery Manager has not resynced with the
target database.
46-50 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Re-catalog the file and retry the operation.
RMAN-06090: error while looking up control file copy: string
Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified control file copy in the
recovery catalog or target database control file.
Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the
failure. Ensure that the file name is entered correctly. If the control file copy was
created when the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG
must be done to update the recovery catalog.
RMAN-06091: no channel allocated for maintenance (of an appropriate type)
Cause: A command was entered that requires a maintenance channel, and no
maintenance channel is allocated, or none of the appropriate type.
Action: Use ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE before deleting
backup pieces, or using the CROSSCHECK or DELETE EXPIRED commands.
Proxy copies require a non-DISK channel.
RMAN-06092: error while looking up backup piece
Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified backup piece in the
recovery catalog or target database control file.
Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the
failure. Ensure that the name or key is entered correctly. If the backup piece was
created when the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG
must be done to update the recovery catalog.
RMAN-06093: recovery catalog contains obsolete version of datafile string
Cause: The specified datafile number was dropped and then reused. The control
file mounted by the target database contains the newer version of the datafile, but
the recovery catalog contains information about only the older version.
Action: Issue a RESYNC command to update the recovery catalog, then reissue
the failing command. If the error persists, contact Oracle Support Services.
RMAN-06094: datafile string must be restored
Cause: A RECOVER command was issued, and the recovery catalog indicates the
specified datafile should be part of the recovery, but this datafile is not listed in the
control file, and cannot be found on disk.
Action: Issue a RESTORE command for this datafile, using the same UNTIL
clause specified to the RECOVER command (if any), then reissue the RECOVER.
RMAN-06095: a backup control file must be restored to recover datafile string
Cause: The control file currently mounted by the target database contains a newer
incarnation of the datafile than the recovery catalog indicates is appropriate for the
Point-in-Time being recovered to.
Action: Restore the control file, using the same UNTIL clause specified on the
failing RECOVER command, then reissue the command. If no control file can be
restored, then you should issue a CREATE CONTROLFILE command.
RMAN-06096: SWITCH required for newname of datafile string to take effect
Cause: A SET NEWNAME was issued for this datafile, but no SWITCH command
was issued before the RECOVER command.
Action: Issue a SWITCH command to make the newname take effect before doing
RECOVER.
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-51
RMAN-06098: the target database must be mounted when issuing a BACKUP
command
Cause: A BACKUP command was issued, but the target database control file is
not mounted.
Action: Mount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE
MOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.
RMAN-06099: error occurred in source file: string, line: number
Cause: See accompanying error.
Action: See accompanying error.
RMAN-06100: no channel to restore a backup or copy of datafile number
Cause: A datafile, tablespace, or database restore could not proceed because the
backup of the indicated file exists on a device type that was not allocated for
restore.
Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further
details.
RMAN-06101: no channel to restore a backup or copy of the control file
Cause: A control file restore could not proceed because the backup of the
indicated file exists on a device type that was not allocated for restore.
Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further
details.
RMAN-06102: no channel to restore a backup or copy of archived log for thread
number with sequence number and starting SCN of string
Cause: An archived log restore restore could not proceed because the backup of
the indicated file exists on a device type that was not allocated for restore.
Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further
details.
RMAN-06103: duplicate qualifier found in REPORT command: string
Cause: The indicated qualifier appears more than once in a REPORT qualifier list.
Action: delete the duplicate qualifier
RMAN-06105: duplicate qualifier found in LIST command: string
Cause: The indicated qualifier appears more than once in a LIST qualifier list.
Action: delete the duplicate qualifier
RMAN-06106: this command requires that target database be mounted
Cause: A command was issued that requires the target database to be mounted,
but the target database is not mounted.
Action: Mount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE
MOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.
RMAN-06107: WARNING: control file is not current for REPORT NEED BACKUP
DAYS
Cause: The REPORT NEED BACKUP DAYS command may report some files as
requiring backups when they really do not, because the most current online status
of the file is not known unless a current control file is mounted.
Action: No action is required, however, a current control file should be mounted,
if possible, to get the most accurate REPORT output.

Cause: An attempt was made to crosscheck an object which is unavailable.
Action: Make object available and try again or don't crosscheck object.
RMAN-06117: cannot do DELETE EXPIRED on an object which is not expired
Cause: An attempt was made to DELETE EXPIRED an object which is not
expired.
Action: Remove EXPIRED keyword, crosscheck object, or don't delete object.
RMAN-06118: a backup control file older than SCN string must be used for this
recovery
Cause: An attempt was made to recover the database, but some files had no
backup, and were not present in the control file at the beginning of the restore.
This happens when the control file used during the recovery is a backup control
file taken before the creation of some of the files that had no backup. In this
situation, the control file that is used must be taken before the creation of all files
that have no backup. This will enable RMAN to automatically re-create all of the
files that had no backup.
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-53
Action: Restore a control file that was backed up before the specified system
change number (SCN). The following RMAN commands can be used to do this:
SET UNTIL SCN
CONTROLFILE;
RMAN-06119: uncataloged datafile copy
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06120: uncataloged archived log
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06121: uncataloged control file copy
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06122: CHANGE .. UNCATALOG not supported for BACKUPSET
Cause: The CHANGE BACKUPSET .. UNCATALOG command was entered. The
UNCATALOG operation is not supported with backup set.
Action: Use CHANGE BACKUPSET .. DELETE instead.
RMAN-06123: operation not supported without the recovery catalog or mounted
control file
Cause: A command was used which requires a connection to a recovery catalog
database or the target database to be mounted. The command cannot be used
when no backup repository is available.
Action: If a recovery catalog database is available, then connect to the recovery
catalog and retry the command, otherwise enter a different command.
RMAN-06124: error while looking up datafile copy key: number
Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified datafile copy key in the
recovery catalog or target database control file.
Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the
failure.
RMAN-06125: error while looking up archived log key: number
Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified archived log key in the
recovery catalog or target database control file.
Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the
failure.
RMAN-06126: skipping offline file string
Cause: The indicated file will not be included in the backup set because it is
offline and the SKIP OFFLINE option was specified.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06127: skipping read-only file string
Cause: The indicated file could not be included in the backup set because it was
read-only and the SKIP READONLY option was specified.
Action: No action is required.
46-54 Oracle Database Error Messages
RMAN-06128: skipping inaccessible file string
Cause: The indicated file will not be included in the backup set because it could
not be read, and the SKIP INACCESSIBLE option was specified.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06129: invalid reserved channel ID: string
Cause: The specified channel id is invalid. DELETE and DEFAULT are reserved
channel names and may not be specified by users.
Action: Specify a different channel ID.
RMAN-06131: SKIP OFFLINE and SKIP READONLY are only allowed with current
control file
Cause: The target database control file was not current. The SKIP OFFLINE and
SKIP READONLY options are only permitted when the target database control file
is current. When the target control file is not current, it is not possible to obtain a
datafile's offline or read-only status.
Action: Remove the SKIP option or mount a current control file on the target
database.
RMAN-06132: cannot backup datafile string because it is not in the control file
Cause: A backup command was issued that includes the specified datafile, but the
datafile is not listed in the control file. The control file is not current (it is a backup
or a created control file).
Action: Recover the control file to make it current, then retry the backup
command.
RMAN-06133: recovery catalog may have obsolete data for datafile string
Cause: A RESTORE UNTIL was issued, and the recovery catalog choose an older
incarnation of the datafile than is listed in the control file.
Action: If the recovery catalog has correct data for the datafile, then restore a
backup control file using the same UNTIL clause, then retry the datafile restore.
Otherwise, restore a backup of the incarnation of the datafile listed in the control
file.
RMAN-06134: host command complete
Cause: An operating system command has completed.
Action: None - this is an informational message.
RMAN-06135: error executing host command: string
Cause: A host command returned a non-zero return code.
Action: Correct the offending command.
RMAN-06136: ORACLE error from auxiliary database: string
Cause: This message should be accompanied by other error message(s) indicating
the cause of the error.
Action: Check the accompanying errors.
RMAN-06137: must have recovery catalog for REPORT SCHEMA AT TIME
Cause: A 'REPORT SCHEMA at_clause' command was issued, but there is no
recovery catalog database.
Action: If you are not using a recovery catalog, then you may only issue the
'REPORT SCHEMA' command with no at_clause.
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-55
RMAN-06138: control file not mounted - must specify AT clause with REPORT
command
Cause: A 'REPORT SCHEMA' with no at_clause was issued, and there is no
recovery catalog, and there is also no control file mounted at the target database,
so there is no place to get the information about the current list of files comprising
the database.
Action: Use a recovery catalog or mount a control file at the target database.
RMAN-06139: WARNING: control file is not current for REPORT SCHEMA
Cause: A 'REPORT SCHEMA' with no at_clause was issued, and there is no
recovery catalog, and the control file mounted by the target instance is not current,
so the information about the current list of datafiles may not be current.
Action: Use a recovery catalog or mount a current control file.
RMAN-06140: cannot specify TAG option with LIST INCARNATION
Cause: The TAG option was specified with LIST INCARNATION. This is not
permitted because there is no TAG associated with a database incarnation.
Action: Remove the TAG option and re-run the LIST command.
RMAN-06141: cannot specify ARCHIVELOG LIKE option with RESTORE
Cause: The ARCHIVELOG LIKE option was specified with RESTORE. This is not
permitted because recovery catalog contains only those records that are not
deleted from disk.
Action: Remove the ARCHIVELOG LIKE option and re-run the command.
RMAN-06142: DEVICE TYPE cannot be specified with this command
Cause: The DEVICE TYPE option was specified with a command that does not
support it.
Action: Remove the DEVICE TYPE option and re-run the command.
RMAN-06143: LIKE may only be specified with COPY
Cause: The LIKE option was specified with a RMAN command. This is not
permitted because only copies of datafiles, control files or archived logs have file
names that may be tested with a LIKE operand.
Action: Remove the LIKE option and re-run the RMAN command.
RMAN-06144: FROM or UNTIL may not be specified with LIST INCARNATION
Cause: The FROM or UNTIL option was specified with LIST INCARNATION.
This is not permitted because there is no time associated with a database
incarnation.
Action: Remove the FROM or UNTIL option and re-run the LIST command.
RMAN-06145: control file is not current - obsolete file list may be incomplete
Cause: A CHANGE or REPORT command needs to compute the list of backups
that are redundant and may be deleted. If the mounted control file is not current, it
may not be possible to determine if a satisfactory backup exists for files which
have been offline since the last OPEN RESETLOGS.
Action: No action need be taken - this is an informational message only. To ensure
a complete report of obsolete backups, mount a current control file.
RMAN-06146: changes found for file number beyond offline SCN
46-56 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: A CHANGE or REPORT command needs to compute the list of backups
that are redundant and may be deleted. A backup was found for a file which is
shown as offline in the target database control file, but the backup contains
changes beyond the system change number(SCN) when the file went offline. This
is most likely because the target database control file is not really current, but is a
restored copy of an older control file.
Action: Mount a current control file or a backup control file.
RMAN-06147: no obsolete backups found
Cause: A CHANGE or REPORT command could find no files that meet the
specified criteria for obsoleteness.
Action: None - this is an informational message.
RMAN-06148: redundancy count must be greater than zero
Cause: The REDUNDANCY operand specified for a CHANGE or REPORT
OBSOLETE command was zero.
Action: Specify a REDUNDANCY operand of 1 or greater.
RMAN-06149: cannot BACKUP DATABASE in NOARCHIVELOG mode
Cause: A BACKUP DATABASE command was issued, but the target database
was in NOARCHIVELOG mode and was open in READ/WRITE mode.
Action: Mount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE
ARCHIVELOG using the Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.
RMAN-06150: auxiliary name for datafile number set to: string
Cause: This message is issued in response to a CONFIGURE AUXNAME
command.
Action: None - this is an informational message.
RMAN-06151: datafile string creation SCN string
Cause: This is an informational message. It should be accompanied by other
messages.
Action: None
RMAN-06153: validation failed for datafile copy
Cause: The CHANGE DATAFILECOPY VALIDATE command discovered that the
datafile copy could not be found or no longer contains the same data, so its record
was deleted from the recovery catalog or target database control file.
Action: None - this is an informational message.
RMAN-06154: validation succeeded for datafile copy
Cause: The CHANGE DATAFILECOPY VALIDATE command discovered that the
datafile copy still matches its data in the recovery catalog or target database
control file.
Action: None - this is an informational message.
RMAN-06155: validation failed for control file copy
Cause: The CHANGE CONTROLFILECOPY VALIDATE command discovered
that the control file copy could not be found or no longer contains the same data,
so its record was deleted from the recovery catalog or target database control file.
Action: None - this is an informational message.
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-57
RMAN-06156: validation succeeded for control file copy
Cause: The CHANGE CONTROLFILECOPY VALIDATE command discovered
that the control file copy still matches its data in the recovery catalog or target
database control file.
Action: None - this is an informational message.
RMAN-06157: validation failed for archived log
Cause: The CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG command determined that the
archived log could not be found or no longer contained the same data, so its
record was marked expired.
Action: None - this is an informational message.
RMAN-06158: validation succeeded for archived log
Cause: The CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG command or VALIDATE HEADER
option determined that the archived log still matches its data.
Action: None - this is an informational message.
RMAN-06159: error while looking up backup set
Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified backup set in the
recovery catalog or target database control file.
Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the
failure. Ensure that the key is entered correctly. If the backup set was created when
the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG must be done
to update the recovery catalog.
RMAN-06160: no backup pieces found for backup set key: number
Cause: No backup pieces for the requested backup set were found in the recovery
catalog, or the target database control file.
Action: Specify an existing backup set.
RMAN-06161: error when inspecting auxiliary file name: string
Cause: This error is accompanied by other errors explaining the cause.
Action: Correct the auxiliary file name if it is wrong via the CONFIGURE
AUXNAME command.
RMAN-06162: sql statement: string
Cause: This is the sql statement about to be executed for a SQL command.
Action: None, informational message only.
RMAN-06163: some datafiles cannot be recovered, aborting the RECOVER
command
Cause: This message should be followed by one or more 6162 or 6164 messages.
Action: Check the accompanying errors.
RMAN-06164: WARNING: no channel of required type allocated to recover datafile
number
Cause: A RECOVER command could not proceed because incremental backup
sets or archived log backup sets exist on a device type that has not been allocated.
Action: Use the LIST command to determine which device type is needed, then
allocate a channel of that type.
RMAN-06165: datafile string is too old to recover, restore a more recent copy
46-58 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The archived logs and/or incremental backup sets required to recover the
datafile do not exist, but a more recent backup of the datafile exists which can be
recovered.
Action: Issue a RESTORE for the datafile, then reissue the RECOVER command.
RMAN-06166: datafile string cannot be recovered
Cause: Incremental backups or archived redo logs needed to recover the datafile
cannot be found, and no recoverable full backup or datafile copy exists.
Action: Use the LIST command to see if there is a backup set or datafile copy that
can be made AVAILABLE. If not, then the datafile is unrecoverable. If a full or
datafile copy exists, then a Point-in-Time Recovery may be possible.
RMAN-06167: already connected
Cause: a CONNECT command was issued, but RMAN is already connected to
the specified database.
Action: RMAN has no DISCONNECT command, so to connect to a different
instance, exit RMAN and start it again.
RMAN-06168: no backup pieces with this tag found: string
Cause: A tag was used to specify a list of backup pieces, but no backup pieces
with this tag could be found.
Action: Make sure the tag is specified correctly.
RMAN-06169: could not read file header for datafile string error reason string
Cause: The specified datafile could not be accessed. The reason codes are: 1 - file
name is MISSINGxx in the control file 2 - file is offline 3 - file is not verified 4 -
DBWR could not find the file 5 - unable to open file 6 - I/O error during read 7 -
file header is corrupt 8 - file is not a datafile 9 - file does not belong to this database
10 - file number is incorrect 12 - wrong file version 15 - control file is not current
Action: If the error can be corrected, do so and retry the operation. The SKIP
option can be used to ignore this error during a backup.
RMAN-06170: no control file copy found with offline range RECID string STAMP
string datafile string
Cause: This offline range is needed for recovering the specified data file, but the
offline range record has aged out of the current control file and no control file copy
with the record could be accessed. At least 1 control file copy containing the offline
range was found in the recovery catalog and was in AVAILABLE status.
Action: Query the RC_CONTROLFILE_COPY view for the names of all control
file copies, then issue a CHANGE CONTROLFILECOPY … VALIDATE; command
for them. Then reissue the RECOVER command.
RMAN-06171: not connected to target database
Cause: A command was issued but no connection to the target database has been
established.
Action: Issue a CONNECT TARGET command to connect to the target database.
RMAN-06172: no AUTOBACKUP found or specified handle is not a valid copy or
piece
Cause: A restore could not proceed because no AUTOBACKUP was found or
specified handle is not a valid copy or backup piece. In case of restore from
AUTOBACKUP, it may be the case that a backup exists, but it does not satisfy the
criteria specified in the user's restore operands. In case of restore from handle, it
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-59
may be the handle is not a backup piece or control file copy. In may be that it does
not exist.
Action: Modify AUTOBACKUP search criteria or verify the handle.
RMAN-06173: SET NEWNAME command has not been issued for datafile string
when restore auxiliary
Cause: Auxiliary type was specified for the control file, but no SET NEWNAME
command has been previously issued for a datafile.
Action: Issue SET NEWNAME command for every datafile in the recovery set.
RMAN-06174: not connected to auxiliary database
Cause: An auxiliary command was issued but no connection to a auxiliary
database has been established.
Action: Issue a CONNECT AUXILIARY command to connect to the auxiliary
database.
RMAN-06175: deleted script: string
Cause: A DELETE SCRIPT command was executed.
Action: None, informational message only.
RMAN-06176: no recovery required; all files are read-only or offline
Cause: An attempt was made to recover files that were offline or read-only. A
RECOVER DATABASE command does not need to recover any files because all of
the files to be recovered are offline or read-only. This can only occur when the
SKIP clause includes the SYSTEM tablespace.
Action: None. This is an informational message only.
RMAN-06177: restore not done; all files read only, offline, or already restored
Cause: A RESTORE command does not need to restore any files, because all of the
files to be restored are offline, read-only, or are already restored to their correct
destinations.
Action: None, informational message only
RMAN-06178: datafile number not processed because file is offline
Cause: A RESTORE DATABASE or RECOVER DATABASE command omitted
processing the indicated datafile because it is offline clean at the desired
point-in-time.
Action: None, informational message only
RMAN-06179: datafile number not processed because file is read-only
Cause: A RESTORE DATABASE or RECOVER DATABASE command omitted
processing the indicated datafile because it is part of a read-only tablespace at the
desired point-in-time.
Action: None, informational message only
RMAN-06180: incremental backups require Enterprise Edition
Cause: A BACKUP command with INCREMENTAL LEVEL > 0 was specified.

46-60 Oracle Database Error Messages
RMAN-06182: archived log string of thread string with sequence string larger than
MAXSETSIZE
Cause: A BACKUP ARCHIVELOG command specified the MAXSETSIZE
operand too low. The specified archived log is larger than MAXSETSIZE will
allow.
Action: Increase MAXSETSIZE limit.
RMAN-06183: datafile or datafile copy string (file number string) larger than
MAXSETSIZE
Cause: A BACKUP DATAFILE(copy) command specified the MAXSETSIZE
operand too low. The specified datafile is larger than MAXSETSIZE will allow.
Action: Increase MAXSETSIZE limit.
RMAN-06184: duplicate object in backup specifier: string string
Cause: A backup command specifies the same datafile or copy of a data file
multiple times.
Action: Eliminate the duplicates.
RMAN-06185: Recovery Manager incompatible with string database: RMAN
number.number.number.number to number.number.number.number required
Cause: This version of recovery manager was incompatible with the indicated
database or the DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE package installed in the indicated
database.
Action: If the database has been upgraded from an earlier version, ensure that the
catxxxx.sql script has been run successfully. Re-install dbmsbkrs.sql and
prvtbkrs.plb if necessary. Otherwise, use a version of RMAN within the range
specified in the error message.
RMAN-06186: PL/SQL package string.string version string in string database is too
old
Cause: The specified PL/SQL package is a version that is too old to work with
this version of the Recovery Manager (RMAN).
Action: If the database indicated is CATALOG, then you can use the UPGRADE
CATALOG command to upgrade the recovery catalog to the most current version.
If the database is TARGET or AUXILIARY, then you must either upgrade the
specified database or use an older version of RMAN.
RMAN-06187: control file copy string not found or out of sync with catalog
Cause: The indicated file is not found, or is found but is not the same file that the
recovery catalog thinks it is. It is likely that some operation outside of Recovery
Manager has altered the file, or that Recovery Manager has not resynced with the
target database.
Action: Re-catalog the file and retry the operation.
RMAN-06188: cannot use command when connected to a mounted target database
Cause: An attempt was made to issue a command that can be used only when
there is no connection to the target database or when the target database is not
mounted.
Action: Dismount the database or restart RMAN and use the command before
connecting to the target database.
RMAN-06189: current DBID number does not match target mounted database
(number)
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-61
Cause: SET DBID was used to set a DBID that does not match the DBID of the
database to which RMAN is connected.
Action: If the current operation is a restore to copy the database, do not mount the
database. Otherwise, avoid using the SET DBID command, or restart RMAN.
RMAN-06190: PL/SQL package string.string version string in string database is not
current
Cause: RMAN detected an old version of the specified package. RMAN will
execute in backwards-compatible mode.
Action: No action is required, but certain features and bug-fixes may not be
available when RMAN runs in backwards-compatible mode. If the database is
CATALOG, then you can use the UPGRADE CATALOG command to upgrade the
recovery catalog to the most current version. If the database is TARGET or
AUXILIARY, then you must either upgrade the specified database or use an older
version of RMAN. The files that must be run to upgrade the target or auxiliary
database are dbmsrman.sql and prvtrman.plb.
RMAN-06191: PL/SQL package string.string version string in string database is too
new
Cause: RMAN detected an incompatible version of the specified package.
Action: Use a newer version of recovery manager. Message 6439 indicates the
minimum required version of recovery manager.
RMAN-06192: maximum value for MAXPIECESIZE or MAXSETSIZE must be
between 1 KB and 2048 GB
Cause: Input size for MAXPIECESIZE or MAXSETSIZE was out of range.
Action: Specify a valid size and retry the command.
RMAN-06193: connected to target database (not started)
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: The database must be started before any other RMAN commands are
issued.

Cause: This message is issued in response to a LIST INCARNATION OF
DATABASE command. The following fields are shown for each database that is
registered with the recovery catalog: DB Key: This is the unique key which
identifies this database in the recovery catalog. Inc Key: This is the unique key
which identifies this incarnation of the database in the recovery catalog. DB Name:
The name of the database. DB ID: The database ID. This is a number which
remains the same for the life of the database, even if the database name is changed.
Status: 'YES' if this is the current incarnation of this database, otherwise 'NO'.
Reset SCN: system change number (SCN) of the most recent RESETLOGS
operation. Reset Time: Time of the most recent RESETLOGS operation.
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-65
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06250: Report of files that need backup due to unrecoverable operations
Cause: An unlogged change (such as 'create table unrecoverable') has been made
to this file, and the most recent backup of the file does not contain those changes.
Action: Take a backup of this file. If this file is lost before a backup is taken, then
the unlogged modifications will be lost. The message indicates whether a full
backup is required or whether a incremental backup will suffice.
RMAN-06263: string string string
Cause: This message is issued in response to the REPORT NEED BACKUP
INCREMENTAL command, for those files which would use more than the
specified number of incrementals during recovery.
Action: To reduce the number of incremental backups which would be used
during recovery of this datafile, take a new full backup of this file now.
RMAN-06270: Report of files whose recovery needs more than number days of
archived logs
Cause: This message is issued in response to the REPORT NEED BACKUP DAYS
command for those files which need more than the specified number of days'
archived logs for recovery.
Action: To reduce the number of log files needed for recovery of this datafile, take
a new full or incremental backup now.
RMAN-06274: Report of files that must be backed up to satisfy number days
recovery window
Cause: This message is issued in response to the REPORT NEED RECOVERY
WINDOW OF n DAYS command for those files that must be backed up to satisfy
specified retention policy.
Action: To satisfy specified recovery window for this datafile, take a new full or
incremental backup now.
RMAN-06275: invalid number of days specified for report : string days
Cause: This message is issued in response to the REPORT NEED RECOVERY
WINDOW OF n DAYS or REPORT NEED BACKUP DAYS n command when an
invalid number of days was specified in input command.
Action: The number of days specified in REPORT command must be greater than
zero.
RMAN-06280: Report of obsolete backups and copies
Cause: This message is issued in response to the REPORT OBSOLETE command.
Each of the files listed is obsolete because it is more redundant than the level of

RMAN-06300: Report of files with less than number redundant backups
Cause: This message is issued when the REPORT NEED BACKUP
REDUNDANCY command is used for those files which have less than the
specified number of backups which can be used for recovery.
Action: Take another backup of the datafiles listed.
RMAN-06306: ====================
Cause: This message is issued in response to a LIST BACKUP
DATABASE/TABLESPACE/DATAFILE command when some backups were
taken with the PROXY option. If a recovery catalog is in use, then the information
comes from the recovery catalog, otherwise it comes from the target database
control file. The following fields are shown for each proxy datafile backup. Key:
This is the unique key which identifies this proxy backup in the recovery catalog.
This value can be used in a CHANGE command to change its status. If the target
database control file is being used as the recovery catalog, then this field uniquely
identifies this copy in the control file. File: The file number that this file was copied
from. Status: This is the status of the file. Possible values are: A - Available U -
Unavailable D - Deleted X - Expired Status 'U' will not be used if the target
database control file is being used as the recovery catalog. Completion time: This is
the date and time when the backup was created. This column will be printed in the
default Oracle date format, unless overridden with a NLS_DATE_FORMAT
environment variable. Ckp SCN: This is the checkpoint system change number
(SCN) of the backup. The file contains all changes made at or before this SCN. Ckp
time: This is the time that the file was last checkpointed. Handle: This is the media
manager handle of the proxy backup.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06378: List of Backup Sets
Cause: This message is issued in response to a LIST BACKUP command.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06400: database opened
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06401: database is already started
Cause: A STARTUP command without the FORCE option was issued, but the
target database is already started.
Action: Use the FORCE option if you want to restart the database.
RMAN-06402: Oracle instance shut down
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06403: could not obtain a fully authorized session
Cause: The most likely cause of this error is that one of the databases to which
RMAN had previously connected is not started or has has been shutdown. Other
error messages should identify exactly which database is the problem.
Action: Startup the database causing the problem.
RMAN-06404: database dismounted
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-67
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06405: database closed
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06406: deleted archived log
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06407: auxiliary instance file string deleted
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06408: recovery catalog upgraded to version string
Cause: This is an informational message issued by the UPGRADE CATALOG
command. It indicates the version of the recovery catalog schema to which the
recovery catalog was just upgraded. Note that this version number may not reflect
the version number of your rman executable or target database, because the
recovery catalog schema is not changed with each Oracle release.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06409: LIKE clause in LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG is not supported
Cause: LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG LIKE was used, which is not
supported.
Action: Remove LIKE clause from command.
RMAN-06410: cannot use command when channels are allocated
Cause: An attempt was made to issue a command that can be used only when
there are no allocated channels.
Action: Do not use the command, or de-allocate channels and use the command
when no channels are allocated.
RMAN-06411: backup copies setting out of range (1-4): number
Cause: An attempt was made to set backup copies to an invalid value.
Action: Use a value in the specified range.
RMAN-06412: no proxy copy channel found
Cause: A proxy copy was started, but no allocated channel supports proxy copy.
This could be because the media management software used by the target
database does not support proxy copy, or because all of the allocated channels are
of type DISK, which never support proxy copy.
Action: If this is a backup, then either allocate a non-disk channel, or do not use
the PROXY option. If this is a restore, then a channel of the same type which
created the proxy backup was allocated, but now does not support proxy copy. If
proxy copy is no longer supported by the media management software at the
target database, the CROSSCHECK or CHANGE commands should be used so
that those backups will not be considered for further restores.
RMAN-06413: channel string does not support proxy copy
46-68 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The channel which was specified for this backup or restore does not
support proxy copy. This could be because the media management software used
by the target database does not support proxy copy, or because the channel is of
type DISK, which never supports proxy copy.
Action: If this is a backup, then either allocate a non-disk channel, or do not use
the PROXY option. If this is a restore, then a channel of the same type which
created the proxy backup was allocated, but now does not support proxy copy. If
proxy copy is no longer supported by the media management software at the
target database, the CROSSCHECK command should be used so that those
backups will not be considered for further restores.
RMAN-06414: target database COMPATIBLE option does not support proxy copy
Cause: PROXY was specified, and the target database uses a media manager that
supports proxy copy, but the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter of the target
database must be 8.1.0 or greater to create proxy backups. If the database is
downgraded to the earlier release that is specified in the COMPATIBLE parameter,
then it will no longer be able to restore proxy backups.
Action: Either take a non-proxy backup or change the target database
COMPATIBLE parameter.
RMAN-06415: file string cannot be proxy backed up
Cause: The PROXY option was specified, but the media management software
used by the target database cannot back up the specified file using proxy copy. If
PROXY ONLY was specified, then the backup is terminated. If PROXY was
specified, then this file will be placed into a non-proxy backup set.
Action: Remove the ONLY option to place the files into a regular backup set, or
contact the media management vendor if you believe that the media management
software should support proxy copy of this file.
RMAN-06416: PROXY ONLY was specified and some files could not be proxy
copied
Cause: PROXY ONLY was specified, and some of the files to be backed up could
not be backed up by the media management software used by the target database.
Message 6415 is issued for each file that cannot be proxy copied.
Action: Remove the ONLY option to place the files into a regular backup set, or
contact the media management vendor if you believe that the media management
software should support proxy copy of these files.
RMAN-06417: command not allowed when connected to a virtual private catalog
Cause: The command that was entered cannot be used while connected to a
virtual private catalog.
Action: Connect to the base catalog and re-execute the command.
RMAN-06418: proxy incremental backups with level > 0 not supported
Cause: PROXY was specified for a non-level-zero incremental backup. Proxy
backups may only be full or level 0 backups.
Action: Remove one of the conflicting options.
RMAN-06419: file string cannot be proxy restored from handle string
Cause: The media management software used by the target database indicated
that it cannot restore the specified file from the specified backup handle.
Action: Consult the media management software documentation to find out why
this restriction exists or contact the media management vendor.
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-69
RMAN-06420: some files could not be proxy restored - aborting restore
Cause: Some of the files to be restored could not be restored by the media
management software used by the target database. Message 6419 is issued for each
file that cannot be restored.
Action: Contact the media management vendor if you believe that the media
management software should support proxy copy of these files. The
CROSSCHECK or CHANGE commands can be used to remove these proxy copies
from the catalog to prevent the RESTORE command from trying to restore from
them.
RMAN-06421: sent command to channel: string
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06422: no channels found for SEND command
Cause: No channels with the specified names or device types were found. If no
channel qualifiers were specified, then no channels were allocated.
Action: Specify a different channel type or allocate a channel of the desired type.
RMAN-06423: requested limit of number exceeds vendor limit of number
Cause: A command was used to set the backup piece size limit, but the media
management software used by the target database cannot create backup pieces
that large.
Action: Specify a smaller backup piece limit.
RMAN-06424: error while looking up proxy copy
Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified proxy copy in the
recovery catalog or target database control file.
Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the
failure. Ensure that the name or key is entered correctly. If the proxy copy was
created when the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG
must be done to update the recovery catalog.
RMAN-06425:
Cause: This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06426: RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role must be granted to user
string
Cause: The CREATE CATALOG or UPGRADE CATALOG command was used,
but the USERID that was supplied in the CATALOG connect string does not have
the RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role granted as a DEFAULT role.
Action: Grant the RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role to the recovery catalog
owner.
RMAN-06427: recovery catalog already exists
Cause: The CREATE CATALOG command cannot be used when the recovery
catalog already exists.
Action: Use the UPGRADE CATALOG command to upgrade your recovery
catalog to the most current release without losing any existing backup data. Use
the DROP CATALOG command to remove an existing recovery catalog.
RMAN-06428: recovery catalog is not installed
46-70 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: A recovery catalog database connection has been made, but the recovery
catalog tables and views have not been installed.
Action: If you mis-typed the recovery catalog owner USERID, then correct the
USERID and reconnect to the recovery catalog. If this is the first time that you have
signed on to Recovery Manager with this recovery catalog owner USERID, then
use the CREATE CATALOG command to create the recovery catalog schema.
Alternatively, exit RMAN and connect without specifying a recovery catalog
connection.
RMAN-06429: string database is not compatible with this version of RMAN
Cause: The indicated database is not compatible with this version of the Recovery
Manager (RMAN). Other messages have also been issued which detail the cause of
the error.
Action: See the other messages. If the database is CATALOG, then you may be
able to use the CREATE CATALOG or UPGRADE CATALOG commands to
correct the problem. If the database is TARGET or AUXILIARY, then you must
either upgrade the target database or use a newer version of the RMAN
executable.
RMAN-06430: recovery catalog USERID cannot be SYS
Cause: A recovery catalog connection was made to USERID SYS. The recovery
catalog must be created in a USERID other than SYS.
Action: Specify a different USERID in the CATALOG connect string.
RMAN-06431: recovery catalog created
Cause: This is an informational message issued by the CREATE CATALOG
command.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06432: recovery catalog dropped
Cause: This is an informational message issued by the DROP CATALOG
command.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06433: error installing recovery catalog
Cause: An error was received from the recovery catalog database while it was
being installed. Another error message shows the error message from the server.
Action: The most common reasons for failure to install the recovery catalog are:
- Lack of space in the recovery catalog database: allocate more space, use the
DROP CATALOG command to remove any partially installed recovery catalog,
and retry the command.
- Object already exists: This is caused by a partial recovery catalog installation. Use
the DROP CATALOG command to remove the partially installed recovery catalog
and retry the command.
RMAN-06434: some errors occurred while removing recovery catalog
Cause: Some errors were received from the recovery catalog database while
removing the recovery catalog.
Action: Correct the error(s) and retry the command. Note that Recovery Manager
intercepts and ignores common errors, such as 'object not found', which can
happen while removing a partially installed recovery catalog. Only serious errors
will be displayed while removing the recovery catalog.
RMAN-00201 to RMAN-20514 46-71
RMAN-06435: recovery catalog owner is string
Cause: This is an informational message issued by the UPGRADE CATALOG and
DROP CATALOG commands.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06436: enter DROP CATALOG command again to confirm catalog removal
Cause: The DROP CATALOG command deletes the recovery catalog, rendering
all database backups unusable, and should be used with care. The command must
be entered twice to ensure that this is really what you want to do. If this is a
Recovery Appliance catalog, then all backups stored in the server will also be
deleted.
Action: If you really want to remove the recovery catalog, then enter the DROP
CATALOG command again.
RMAN-06437: cannot drop catalog - catalog is newer than this RMAN
Cause: The DROP CATALOG command was entered, but the recovery catalog
was created by a newer version of the Recovery Manager (RMAN). This version of
RMAN may not be able to drop the entire recovery catalog.
Action: Use the version of RMAN which most recently created or upgraded the
recovery catalog.
RMAN-06438: error executing package DBMS_RCVMAN in string database
Cause: Recovery Manager requires the DBMS_RCVMAN package in the SYS
schema of the indicated database. Normally this package is installed during
database creation. To re-create the package, run the files dbmsrman.sql and
prvtrmns.plb.
Action: re-create the DBMS_RCVMAN package in the SYS schema.
RMAN-06439: RMAN must be upgraded to version string to work with this
package
Cause: This message indicates the minimum version of recovery manager
required to use the package which was specified in message 6191.
Action: A newer version of RMAN must be used with this package.
RMAN-06440: virtual catalog dropped
Cause: This is an informational message issued by the DROP CATALOG
command, when connected to a virtual private catalog. Note that dropping a
virtual private catalog does not delete any data, because the catalog data is owned
by the base catalog.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06441: cannot upgrade catalog - catalog is already newer than this RMAN
Cause: The recovery catalog is already at a version level that is greater than this
version of the Recovery Manager. The UPGRADE CATALOG command is not
needed.
Action: Either upgrade to a more recent Recovery Manager, or continue to use the
current version. Message 6191 will be issued if the recovery catalog is too new to
work with this version of Recovery Manager.
RMAN-06442: enter UPGRADE CATALOG command again to confirm catalog
upgrade
Cause: The UPGRADE CATALOG command alters the recovery catalog schema.
Although the recovery catalog is designed to be compatible with older versions of
46-72 Oracle Database Error Messages
the Recovery Manager (RMAN), it is possible that an upgrade will remove
support for older versions of RMAN.
Action: If you really want to upgrade the recovery catalog, then enter the
UPGRADE CATALOG command again. If this is a Recovery Appliance catalog,
then all on-going activities will be temporarily stopped and will automatically
resume after the catalog upgrade. If you are not going to use an older version of
RMAN with this recovery catalog, then compatibility is not an issue. If you plan to
also continue using an older version of RMAN with this recovery catalog then,
before upgrading, consult the Migration Guide for the current Oracle release to
determine if upgrading to the current version of the recovery catalog will remove
support for older versions of RMAN.
RMAN-06443: error upgrading recovery catalog
Cause: An error was received from the recovery catalog database while
upgrading the recovery catalog.
Action: Correct the error and retry the command. Note that the Recovery
Manager intercepts and ignores common errors, such as 'column already exists,'
which can happen if the recovery catalog has already been partially upgraded.
Only serious errors will be displayed while upgrading the recovery catalog.
RMAN-06444: error creating string
Cause: During the CREATE CATALOG or UPGRADE CATALOG command, the
indicated object could not be created due to errors.
Action: Make sure that the RECOVER.BSQ file has not been modified or
damaged, and then if this error persists, contact Oracle support. If the error refers
to one of the RMAN PL/SQL packages, connect to the recovery catalog owner and
query the USER_ERRORS view to find out the details of the compilation errors.
RMAN-06445: cannot connect to recovery catalog after NOCATALOG has been
used
Cause: The CONNECT CATALOG command was used after the user had already
specified the NOCATALOG option.
Action: Re-start rman if you wish to use a recovery catalog.

Cause: This is an informational message issued by the UPGRADE CATALOG
command. It indicates the version to which the indicated package was just
upgraded. Note that this version number may not reflect the version number of
your rman executable or target database, because the recovery catalog packages
are not changed with each Oracle release.
Action: No action is required.
RMAN-06453: RECOVERABLE may only be used with datafile objects
Cause: An attempt was made to use LIST … RECOVERABLE .. with OF
CONTROLFILE or OF ARCHIVELOG.
Action: Remove the RECOVERABLE keyword and try again.
RMAN-06454: duplexed backups require Enterprise Edition
Cause: The SET COPIES or CONFIGURE BACKUP COPIES command was used
to create more than one copy of each backup piece, but Enterprise Edition is not
installed.
Action: Do not attempt to create more than one copy of each backup piece.

RMAN-06462: no backup sets found on device DISK that match specification
Cause: A backup set record specifier did not match an backup set on device DISK
in the recovery catalog.
Action: Resubmit the command with a different backup set record specifier. The
Recovery Manager (RMAN) LIST command can be used to display all backup sets
that RMAN knows about.
RMAN-06463: Backup set key string cannot be backed up by proxy.
Cause: The PROXY option was specified, but proxy copy of backup set is not
supported. This file will be placed into a non-proxy backup set.

supported in recovery area. This is an informational message only.
Action: No action is required.

RMAN-07527: Reason: File was not created using DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
initialization parameter
Cause: This message should be accompanied by other message(s) indicating the
name of file that was not created using DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization
parameter. One of the following scenarios caused this error: 1) This is an archived
log file and was created when the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization
parameter was set explicitly to recovery area location. For example, LOG_
ARCHIVE_DEST_1='location=+FRA' where '+FRA' was also your DB_
RECOVERY_FILE_DEST value. 2) This is an RMAN backup file and was created
in a recovery area using the FORMAT option of the BACKUP command. 3) This is
an online log file or current control file and was created prior to setting the
recovery area. 4) This file fits none of the above scenarios and is not supported by
the recovery area.
46-114 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: All of following actions will resolve future occurrences of this error: 1) To
create archived logs in recovery area, set the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n
initialization parameter to 'location=USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST'. Do not
explicitly set the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter to a recovery
area location. 2) To create RMAN backups in recovery area, do not use the
FORMAT option of the BACKUP command. All of following actions will resolve
current problem: 1) If this is an archived log file or an RMAN backup file, use the
CATALOG command to re-catalog the files. 2) If this is an online log file or a
current control file to be managed by the recovery area, re-create the file using the
DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter.
RMAN-07528: number of files not managed by recovery area is string, totaling
string
Cause: This message should be accompanied by other message(s) indicating the

RMAN-08036: channel string: could not create control file record for string string
Cause: The record identifying the named file was no longer present in the target
database control file, and repeated attempts to inspect the file were unsuccessful in
creating the record. This could be because the circular-reuse section of the control
file which holds information about the specified type of file is too small and there
is other database activity which is causing the record to be overwritten before it
can be used.
Action: Try increasing either the size of the control file circular-reuse section for
this file type (datafile copy or archived log, as indicated in the error message, or

LFI-00002 to LFI-01525 1 5
LFI-00002: Out of memory. string
Cause: The File IO package failed in trying to dynamically allocate memory.
function name is used for additional comments to indicate where, when and why
the error occured.
Action: Perform whatever actions necessary to make more memory available to
the executing program.
LFI-00003: Internal exception code. icode = [string], [string].
Cause: Unknown - indicated by parameters. The first '%s' gives the internal
exception code; the second is for any other additional comments.
Action: Report to the appropriate development group
LFI-00004: Call to string failed.
Cause: A function call has failed. This error is a generic message to show that the
exception has occurred in a particular function function name. This allows the
client to know the trace runtime calling sequence by examining the exception
stack.
Action: See the accompanying error messages for more information.
LFI-00005: Free some memory failed in string.
Cause: A call to free some memory in function function name has failed.
Action: See the accompanying error messages for more information and contact
Oracle Worldwide Support immediately.
LFI-00006: Invalid parameter to function string.
Cause: The function was called with an invalid parameter.
Action: Check the function call to make sure that the correct parameters are being
passed.
LFI-00007: NLSRTL's call failed. string.
Cause: LX calls return failure
Action: Check if our parameters are correct. Contact the appropriate group
immediately if we parameters are valid.
LFI-00008: SLTS's initializing/terminating mutex failed for string.
Cause: SLTS's call return failure in function '%s'.
Action: Contact the appropriate development group.
LFI-00100: Unable to perform operation, file not opened in string.
51-2 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The file has not been successfully opened at the time the operation is
attempted.
Action: Check to make sure that the file exists (for read) or that the program has
access to the write a file (for write). It is also possible that the file was just never
opened
LFI-00101: Write failed, file cannot be written to.
Cause: The buffer write operation failed. Possibly due to incorrect parameters
being passed in.
Action: Check the underlying error for more information.
LFI-00102: Unable to seek in sequentially accessed file.
Cause: The file was opened with the flag LFILFA_SEQ for sequential file
operations. Use seek only on files that are opened with the LFILFA_RANDOM
flag for random access.
Action: Check to see how the file is being opened and accessed and make the two
operations consistent (that is, make them both operations either sequential or
random).
LFI-00103: Seek operation failed.
Cause: The buffer seek operation failed. Probably due to incorrect parameters or
flags.
Action: Check syntax of the seek command and retry the operation.
LFI-00104: Read operation failed.
Cause: The buffer read operation failed. Probably due to incorrect parameters or
flags.
Action: Check syntax of the read command and retry the operation.
LFI-00105: Unable to add path.
Cause: One of the following might have caused the error: the current path might
not be in the proper format the directory might not be in the proper format the
name object might not have been initialized properly
Action: Check the format of the current path and the new directory; check that the
name object was initialized properly.
LFI-00106: Path object holds more than one path.
Cause: The path object passed to lfippth() holds more than one path.
Action: Make sure that the path object used in lfippth() holds only one path.
LFI-00107: Open does not expect the file [string][string] to exist.
Cause: The flags specified for the open indicate that the file does not exist.
However, the file does exist.
Action: Check to make sure that the options that were specified for the file are
correct and that you do not expect that the file should exist. If so then find out why
the file does exist.
LFI-00108: Open expect the file [string][string] to exist.
Cause: The flags specified for the open indicate that the file the file to exist and it
does not.
LFI-00002 to LFI-01525 51-3
Action: Check to make sure that the options that were specified for the file are
correct and that you expect that the file should exist. If so then find out why the
file doesn't.
LFI-00109: Unable to open file [string][string]. string.
Cause: Either: the process does not have the proper access rights to open the file
the file is already open
Action: Check to make sure the proper access permissions are assigned. If they
are and the file still cannot be opened, then contact Oracle Worldwide Support.
LFI-00110: Unable to initialize the Buffer Manager.
Cause: The Buffer Manager initialization routine failed; probably because
memory was exhausted.
Action: See the accompanying error messages for more information.
LFI-00111: No other flags allowed in fixed length format.
Cause: The function lfigfo() was called with an invalid File ID Descriptor. The
valid File ID Descriptors are LFISTDIN, LFISTDOUT, and LFISTDERR.
Action: Check the call to lfigfo() to make sure it is correct.
LFI-00113: Unable to initialize the Standard File object string.
Cause: The call to open the standard file object failed.
Action: Check the underlying errors for more information.
LFI-00114: Append is not allowed with string.
Cause: Attempting to append using certain options.
Action: Check the flag options to verify its usage.
LFI-00115: Buffer free failed.
Cause: Probably do to the buffer flush failing.
Action: See the accompanying error messages for more information.
LFI-00116: Unable to close file in operation string.
Cause: The file close operation failed.
Action: See the accompanying error messages for more information.
LFI-00117: Unable to rename file.
Cause: The rename operation failed. Rename is called when we are protecting a
file by operating on a temp file.
Action: Check to make sure that the process has the correct access rights to
perform a rename.
LFI-00118: Unable to change type to Unknown.
Cause: The function lfichty() was called to change the file extension to LFIEXUNK
(Unknown). This is not a valid operation.
Action: Check why you are doing this. If the extension is already unknown then
you do not need to do this. If you just want no extension then use the extension
type LFIEXNONE.
LFI-00119: Unable to Abort an Unprotected file.
Cause: The Abort function lfiabt() was called on a file that was not opened as a
protected file. As such the abort operation is not valid.
51-4 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Check to see if you intended to open the file as a protected file.
LFI-00120: Unable to parse root filename string.
Cause: The root filename that was given to lfimknam() is not in a format that this
platform understands.
Action: Check the format of the filename and retry the operation.
LFI-00121: Only one of REPLACE, or PROT allowed for opty.
Cause: Two or more of the following open type options were specified for the
lfilini() function: LFILOPTY_REPLACE, or LFILOPTY_PROT.
Action: Remove one or more the of options such that you are only passing in one
of the three.
LFI-00122: Can only delete a file if we create it.
Cause: The delete file flag was specified for a file that was not created by this file
operation. The ability to delete a file is not portable. As such the only deletion that
is allowed by this package is if we know we want to delete the file when we create
it.
Action: You can only delete a file that you create. If you need to delete a file that
you do not create then you will have to find another means of doing so.
LFI-00123: Cannot access file Sequentially and Randomly.
Cause: Both the LFILFA_SEQ (sequential) and LFILFA_RANDOM (random) flags
were specified during the file object creation. This is not allowed. Only one of the
two may be specified.
Action: Choose how you wish to access the file. If you choose random you can
still access sequentially by just not using the repositioning functions.
LFI-00124: No access mode was specified, default is sequential.
Cause: Neither LFILFA_SEQ (sequential) or LFILFA_RANDOM (random) were
specified during file object creation.
Action: The default is sequential but this should be explicitly set.
LFI-00125: Random access only allowed on fixed length record files.
Cause: The LFILFA_RANDOM flag was specified on a file that was not organized
into fixed-length records. Random access is only allowed on fixed-length record
files.
Action: Determine if the organization of your data needs to be in variable-length
records and if you need to have random access to the file. If both conditions are
true then you might need to buffer the entire file or enough of it to remove your
need for random access. Another option is to close and rescan the file although
this is not the optimal solution.
LFI-00126: Record format can only be one of Fixed or Variable.
Cause: Both LFILRF_FIXED (fixed) and LFILRF_VAR (variable) were specified
during file object creation. Only one of the two is allowed for a given file.
Action: Determine how the file is organized and choose the option that matches.
LFI-00127: No Record Format was specified, default is variable.
Cause: Neither LFILRF_FIXED (fixed) or LFILRF_VAR (variable) were specified
for record format. One of the two must be specified for each file.
Action: The default is LFILRF_VAR, but this should be explicitly set during file
object creation.
LFI-00002 to LFI-01525 51-5
LFI-00128: Carriage Control is only valid for Standard file objects.
Cause: The Carriage Control option is only valid for the standard file objects
(LFISTDIN, LFISTDOUT, LFISTDERR). You may not specify this option for any
other type of file.
Action: Choose between LFILRF_FIXED and LFILRF_VAR for the record format.
LFI-00129: Invalid option string were specified on an input only file.
Cause: The file was opened as input only but the output mode option LFILRF_
WR_ASIS or delete option LFLOPTY_DELETE was specified.
Action: Check to see how you intend to open this file and make the necessary
changes.
LFI-00130: Input option specified on output only file.
Cause: The file was opened as output only but one of the input mode options
(LFILRF_READ_NL or LFILRF_FORCE_NL) or was specified.
Action: Check to see how you intend to open this file and make the necessary
changes.
LFI-00131: No open type specified.
Cause: The file object was created without an open type (that is, LFILOPTY_
INPUT, LFILOPTY_OUTPUT, etc.).
Action: Decide how the file should be accessed and specify one of the open types.
LFI-00132: Record length string is greater than max length of string.
Cause: The record length specified for the file is greater than the max supported
by this platform.
Action: Decrease the record length.
LFI-00133: Trying to create file string that already exists.
Cause: The file object was initialized with LFILOPTY_OUTPUT and without
LFILOPTY_REPLACE and yet a file by this name already exists.
Action: Check to make sure that you are creating the right file. If you intend to
overwrite the file if it exists that specify the replace option LFILOPTY_REPLACE
when initializing the file object.
LFI-00134: Unable to protect a file for an append operation.
Cause: The LFILOPTY_APPEND and LFILOPTY_PROT options were both
specified for the file. This is currently not allowed because it would require
copying the entire file at open time.
Action: Decide if you really need to protect the file for append. If so then think
about making a copy of it before appending.
LFI-00135: Unable to remove temporary file.
Cause: A temporary file was created to protect a file and when the the tempfile
was nolonger needed it LFI attempted to remove it and was unable to do so.
Action: Check the permissions and where the temp files are being created.
LFI-00136: Unable to change type of open file.
Cause: The function lfichty() was called on an opened file.
Action: This is a bug in the client code. lfichty() cannot be used in this case.
LFI-00137: Unable to perform string on a file object that is string.
51-6 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: Unable to perform an LFI operation on a file object for the given reason.
Action: Take the appropriate corrective measure. For example if a file is supposed
to be opened before the operation can be performed, client code will need to open
the file first.
LFI-00138: Unable to perform string on a name object that is string.
Cause: Unable to perform an LFI operation on a name object for the given reason.
Action: Take the appropriate corrective measure.
LFI-00139: Option string cannot be used with option string in calling string.
Cause: First option cannot be used with second option in such a function call.
Action: Re-examine code to determine which option is needed.
LFI-00140: Invalid option string were specified on input-output file.
Cause: The file was opened as input-output and one of the mode options
(LFIOPTY_DELETE or non-LFIOPTY_RANDOM) was specified.
Action: Check to see how you intend to open this file and make the necessary
changes.
LFI-00141: Unable to abort file in operation string.
Cause: The abort operation failed.
Action: Check the underlying errors for more information.
LFI-00142: Unable to delete an existing file [string][string] not owned by Oracle.
Cause: The file was not created by Oracle.
Action: Change owner of file to Oracle or give Oracle access privileges to delete it.
LFI-00143: Unable to delete non-existent file string.
Cause: The file to be deleted does not exist.
Action: Check the underlying errors for more information.
LFI-00144: File [string][string] does not exist
Cause: The file does not exist.
Action: Check to make sure the file exists and retry the operation.
LFI-00145: User buffer too short.
Cause: The buffer that was passed is not large enough.
Action: Allocate a larger buffer and retry the operation.
LFI-00146: copy does not expect the file string.string to exist
Cause: We are expecting the destination file not to exist and it does.
Action: Find out why the file does exist.
LFI-00147: File string.string does not exist
Cause: The file does not exist.
Action: Check to make sure the file exists and retry the operation.
LFI-00148: string can be called only on files opened in byte mode
Cause: A routine that should be used only for files in byte mode was called for a
file that was opened in record mode
Action: In order to use this function, the file should be opened in byte mode.
LFI-00002 to LFI-01525 51-7
LFI-00149: Error on destroying hash table in function string
Cause: We were expecting the cache path object and it does not.
Action: In order to use this function, the path object should be cache path object.
LFI-00150: Error on creating hash table in function string
Cause: routine failed to create path object hash table
Action: make sure that startsize <= LHTQMAXSLOTS
LFI-00151: Error on inserting into hash table in function string
Cause: routine failed to insert into hash table
Action: make sure there is enough memory for allocation and that the hash table
exists.
LFI-00152: Read operation (byte mode) failed.
Cause: Byte mode read operation failed. Probably due to incorrect parameters or
flags, or trying to read beyond end of file.
Action: Check syntax of the read command and size of file.
LFI-01000: Unable to write line to file.
Cause: The file being written to may no longer be open or we may have reached
the end of the file.
Action: Examine underlying errors for more information.
LFI-01001: Unable to write string bytes to file.
Cause: The file being written to may no longer be open or we may have reached
the end of the file.
Action: Examine underlying errors for more information.

PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-1
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 2 5
PLS-00049: bad bind variable 'string'
Cause: The client (caller) of PL/SQL has parsed a bind variable that it has
informed to be 'bad'.
Action: None
PLS-00102: parser stack overflow because nesting is too deep
Cause: The parser, which checks the syntax of PL/SQL statements, uses a data
structure called a stack; the number of levels of nesting in the PL/SQL block
exceeded the stack capacity.
Action: Reorganize the block structure to avoid nesting at too deep a level. For
example, move the lowest-level sub-block to a higher level.
PLS-00103: string
Cause: This error message is from the parser. It found a token (language element)
that is inappropriate in this context.
Action: Check previous tokens as well as the one given in the error message. The
line and column numbers given in the error message refer to the end of the faulty
language construct.
PLS-00104: empty argument list in call of procedure 'string' must be omitted
Cause: In a subprogram call, the name of the subprogram was followed by an
empty parameter list. For example, procedure P was called as P(). This is not
allowed.
Action: Remove the empty parameter list. In the example, change the procedure
call to P.
PLS-00105: at most one forward declaration of type 'string' is permitted
Cause: More than one forward declaration of a type is redundant.
Action: Remove all but one forward declaration.
PLS-00108: declarative units must be a single variable declaration
Cause: While checking a declarative unit (a top-level declare block without the
BEGIN…END), PL/SQL found that there was more than one item declared or that
the item was not a variable declaration. A table is a common variable declaration
at the unit level. To define a TABLE, compile a DECLARE compilation unit, but
only one at a time is allowed.
Action: Declare variables in separate declarative units.
PLS-00109: unknown exception name 'string' in PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT
52-2 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: No declaration for the exception name referenced in an EXCEPTION_INIT
pragma was found within the scope of the pragma.
Action: Make sure the pragma follows the exception declaration and is within the
same scope.
PLS-00110: bind variable 'string' not allowed in this context
Cause: A bind variable, that is, an identifier prefixed with a colon, was found in
an inappropriate context.
Action: Remove the colon or replace the bind variable with the appropriate object.
PLS-00111: end-of-file in comment
Cause: A Comment had a comment initiator (/*), but before the
Action: Remove the Comment initiator or add a comment terminator. The line
and column numbers accompanying the error message refer to the beginning of
the last legal token before the Comment initiator.
PLS-00112: end-of-line in quoted identifier
Cause: A quoted identifier had a beginning quote ("), but before the ending quote
(") was found, an end-of-line marker was encountered.
Action: Remove the beginning quote or add the ending quote. The line and
column numbers accompanying the error message refer to the beginning of the
quoted identifier.
PLS-00113: END identifier 'string' must match 'string' at line string, column string
Cause: Following the keyword END, which terminates some language constructs
(such as loops, blocks, functions, and procedures), you can optionally place the
name of that construct. For example, at the end of the definition of loop L you
might write END L. This error occurs when the optional name does not match the
name given to the language construct. It is usually caused by a misspelled
identifier or by faulty block structure.
Action: Make sure the spelling of the END identifier matches the name given to
the language construct and that the block structure is correct.
PLS-00114: identifier 'string' too long
Cause: The name of a PL/SQL variable is longer than 30 characters. Legal
identifiers (including quoted identifiers) have a maximum length of 30 characters.
A string literal might have been mistakenly enclosed in double quotes instead of
single quotes, in which case PL/SQL considers it a quoted identifier.
Action: Shorten the identifier.
PLS-00115: this PRAGMA must follow the declaration of 'string'
Cause: The pragma refers to a PL/SQL object that was not declared or is not
within the scope of the reference. Identifiers must be declared before they are used
in a pragma; forward references are not allowed.
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the
declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.
PLS-00116: Duplicate where-clause in table expression
Cause: Two or more WHERE clauses were found in a DELETE, SELECT, or
UPDATE statement. The WHERE clause specifies a condition under which rows in
a table are processed. The condition can contain several logical expressions
connected by AND or OR, but a statement can contain only one WHERE clause.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-3
Action: Remove one of the WHERE clauses and, if necessary, connect logical
expressions by AND or OR
PLS-00117: Duplicate connect-by clause in table expression
Cause: Two or more CONNECT BY clauses were found in a SELECT statement.
The CONNECT BY clause defines a relationship used to return rows in a
hierarchical order. The relationship can contain two expressions separated by a
relational operator (such as = or !=), but a statement can contain only one
CONNECT BY clause.
Action: Remove one of the CONNECT BY clauses and, if necessary, separate
expressions by a relational operator.
PLS-00118: Duplicate group-by clause in table expression
Cause: Two or more GROUP BY clauses were found in a SELECT statement. The
GROUP BY clause lists column expressions used to form a summary row for each
group of selected rows. The list can contain several column expressions separated
by commas, but a statement can contain only one GROUP BY clause.
Action: Remove one of the GROUP BY clauses and, if necessary, separate column
expressions by commas.
PLS-00119: Duplicate having-clause in table expression
Cause: Two or more HAVING clauses were found in a SELECT statement. The
HAVING clause specifies a condition under which groups of rows (formed by the
GROUP BY clause) are included in the result. The condition can include several
logical expressions connected by AND or OR, but a statement can contain only
one HAVING clause.
Action: Remove one of the HAVING clauses and, if necessary, connect logical
expressions by AND or OR.
PLS-00120: inappropriate argument in OPEN statement
Cause: The asterisk (*) option was used in the argument list of a SQL group
function other than COUNT. For example, the code might look like SELECT
SUM(*) INTO emp_count FROM emp; -- should be COUNT(*) Only COUNT
permits the use of the asterisk option, which returns the number of rows in a table.
Action: Remove the asterisk option from the argument list and replace it with an
expression that refers to one or more database columns.
PLS-00122: string as separator is allowed only with specific built-in functions
Cause: A few built-in functions use keywords (instead of commas) as argument
separators: Built-in function Argument separators
--------------------------------------------- CHR, TRANSLATE USING CAST AS TRIM
TRAILING, LEADING, BOTH, FROM A function different from one of these
built-in functions is using a keyword as an argument separator.
Action: Correct the argument list or change the function name.
PLS-00123: program too large (string)
Cause: The PL/SQL compiler has exceeded one of its capacity limits. The
compiler cannot proceed.
Action: Revise the PL/SQL program so that it no longer exceeds the reported
limit. The specific revision depends on the limit that was exceeded. However,
usually a simple reduction in the size of the unit being compiled will fix the
problem. Consider splitting the library unit into two or more library units, or
shrinking repetitious or patterned code (possibly by creating helper routines).
52-4 Oracle Database Error Messages
PLS-00124: name of exception expected for first arg in exception_init pragma
Cause: The first argument passed to the EXCEPTION_INIT pragma was
something other than an exception name. The first argument must be the name of
a legally declared exception.
Action: Replace the first argument with the name of a legally declared exception.
PLS-00125: type name expected
Cause: When a constant or variable was declared, its datatype was not specified.
For example, the code might look like pi CONSTANT := 3.14159; -- should be
CONSTANT REAL := 3.14159 Every constant and variable must have a datatype,
which specifies a storage format, constraints, and valid range of values.
Action: Supply the type name
PLS-00126: selector ALL is not allowed
Cause: The ALL shortcut for specifying system privileges or statement options
was used in a SQL statement. PL/SQL does not support the ALL shortcut.
Action: Remove the ALL shortcut from the SQL statement.
PLS-00127: Pragma string is not a supported pragma
Cause: The named pragma (compiler directive) is not among those supported by
PL/SQL. The pragma name might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be
faulty.
Action: Check the spelling of the pragma name, and make sure the proper syntax
was used.
PLS-00128: Illegal number of arguments for pragma string
Cause: The number of arguments (actual parameters) passed to the named
pragma (compiler directive) is incorrect. A required argument was omitted from
the argument list, or the pragma syntax is faulty (for example, a comma might be
missing between two parameters).
Action: Supply the missing argument, or correct the faulty syntax.
PLS-00129: Pragma INTERFACE only supports C as its first argument
Cause: The first parameter passed to pragma INTERFACE specified a host
language other than C. Currently, C is the only host language supported. The
parameter might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be faulty (for
example, a comma might be missing between two parameters).
Action: Check the spelling of the first parameter, which should be C, and make
sure the proper syntax was used.
PLS-00130: Pragma string expects 1st argument to be a
procedure/function/package/cursor
Cause: The first argument (actual parameter) passed to the named pragma
(compiler directive) was not the name of a subprogram, package, or cursor, as
required. The parameter might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be
faulty (for example, a comma might be missing between two parameters).
Action: Check the spelling of the first parameter, and make sure the proper syntax
was used.
PLS-00131: Pragma string expects 2nd argument to be a procedure/function
Cause: The second argument (actual parameter) passed to the named pragma
(compiler directive) was not the name of a procedure or function, as required. The
parameter cannot be a non-static method. The parameter might be misspelled or
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-5
the pragma syntax might be faulty (for example, a comma might be missing
between two parameters).
Action: Check the spelling of the second parameter and make sure the proper
syntax was used.
PLS-00132: Pragma string does not support string
Cause: One of the parameters passed to this pragma was not among the list of
allowed values. The parameter might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might
be faulty (for example, a comma might be missing between two parameters).
Action: Check the spelling of all the parameters and make sure the proper syntax
was used.
PLS-00133: Pragma string expects 1st argument to be an identifier or string-literal
Cause: The first argument (actual parameter) passed to the named pragma
(compiler directive) was not an identifier or string literal, as required. The
parameter might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be faulty (for
example, a comma might be missing between two parameters).
Action: Check the spelling of the first parameter, and make sure the proper syntax
was used.
PLS-00134: Pragma string expects 2nd argument to be an identifier or string-literal
Cause: The second argument (actual parameter) passed to the named pragma
(compiler directive) was not an identifier or string literal, as required. The
parameter might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be faulty (for
example, a comma might be missing between two parameters).
Action: Check the spelling of the second parameter, and make sure the proper
syntax was used.
PLS-00135: Pragma string expects 3rd argument to be an identifier, string or
numeric literal
Cause: The fourth argument (actual parameter) passed to the named pragma
(compiler directive) was not a numeric literal, as required. The parameter might be
miscoded, or the pragma syntax might be faulty (for example, a comma might be
missing between two parameters).
Action: Check the coding of the fourth parameter, and make sure the proper
syntax was used.
PLS-00138: Precision for a binary type must be one of 8, 16, or 32
Cause: Invalid precision was specified for a signed or unsigned binary type.
Action: Specify precision as one of 8, 16, or 32.
PLS-00139: duplicate external NAME specification in subprogram expression
Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external NAME specifications.
Action: Remove one of the external NAME specifications.
PLS-00140: duplicate external LIBRARY specification in subprogram expression
Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external LIBRARY specifications.
Action: Remove one of the external LIBRARY specifications.
PLS-00141: duplicate external PARAMETER STYLE specification in subprogram
expression
Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external PARAMETER STYLE
specifications.
52-6 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Remove one of the external PARAMETER STYLE specifications.
PLS-00142: duplicate external PARAMETER list specification in subprogram
expression
Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external PARAMETER STYLE
specifications.
Action: Remove one of the external PARAMETER STYLE specifications.
PLS-00143: duplicate external LANGUAGE specification in subprogram expression
Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external LANGUAGE
specifications.
Action: Remove one of the external LANGUAGE specifications.
PLS-00144: duplicate external CALLING STANDARD specification in subprogram
expression
Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external CALLING STANDARD
specifications.
Action: Remove one of the external CALLING STANDARD specifications.
PLS-00145: duplicate external WITH CONTEXT specification in subprogram
expression
Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external WITH CONTEXT
specifications.
Action: Remove one of the external WITH CONTEXT specifications.
PLS-00146: duplicate external TRUSTED/UNTRUSTED specification in
subprogram expression
Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external
TRUSTED/UNTRUSTED specifications.
Action: Remove one of the external external TRUSTED/UNTRUSTED
specifications.
PLS-00147: LIBRARY or ASSEMBLY file specification string is empty
Cause: A zero-length string was found for the LIBRARY or ASSEMBLY file
specification.
Action: Specify a non-zero length string for the LIBRARY or ASSEMBLY file
specification.
PLS-00148: Only 1 pragma of this type is allowed per subprogram
Cause: The subprogram was found to have two PRAGMA RESTRICT_
REFERENCES.
Action: Remove one of the PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES.
PLS-00150: found: string but expected : INTEGER
Cause: This error happens in the creation of a pl/sql external type: [SIGNED |
UNSIGNED] BINARY INTEGER (
create type statement. Such types are non-queryable. Something other than
'INTEGER' was supplied.
Action: None
PLS-00151: Expression or Variable is an illegal type to PLS/QL: string
Cause: A type was used which does not belong PL/SQL. This type can only be
referenced in CREATE TYPE statements, and is a non-queryable data type.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-7
Action: None
PLS-00152: POINTER type may only reference an object type.
Cause: A POINTER type which does not belong to PL/SQL can only refer to an
object type. This type can only be referenced in CREATE TYPE statements, and is a
non-queryable data type.
Action: None
PLS-00153: A string type may only be used as an object type attribute.
Cause: A POINTER or [SIGNED/UNSIGNED] BINARY INTEGER can only be
used as attributes of object types. These types can only be referenced in CREATE
TYPE statements, and are non-queryable data types. One of these external
PL/SQL types outside of an object type.
Action: None
PLS-00154: An object type may have only 1 MAP or 1 ORDER method.
Cause: More than one map or order function was declared. An object type can
have only one map function or one order function, but not both.
Action: None
PLS-00155: Only a function may be a MAP, ORDER or CONSTRUCTOR method.
Cause: A procedure was declared as a MAP, ORDER or CONSTRUCTOR method.
Only functions can be MAP, ORDER or CONSTRUCTOR methods.
Action: None
PLS-00156: Null constraints not supported for object attributes.
Cause: A null constraint was specified for an attribute in an object. This is not
supported.
Action: Remove the constraint.
PLS-00157: Only schema-level programs allow string
Cause: An AUTHID or ACCESSIBLE BY clause was specified for a subprogram
inside a package or type. These clauses are only supported for top-level stored
procedures, packages, and types.
Action: Remove the clause.
PLS-00160: AUTHID must specify CURRENT_USER or DEFINER
Cause: The only two allowed options for AUTHID are CURRENT_USER and
DEFINER.
Action: Fix the AUTHID clause to specify CURRENT_USER or DEFINER
PLS-00161: Pragma string expects 3rd argument to be an identifier or a string literal
Cause: The third argument (actual parameter) passed to the named pragma
(compiler directive) was not an identifier or a string literal when there is a fourth
argument to the pragma. The parameter might be misspelled, or the pragma
syntax might be faulty (for example, a comma might be missing between two
parameters).
Action: Check the spelling of the third parameter, and make sure the proper
syntax was used.
PLS-00162: Pragma string expects 4th argument to be a positive integer literal
Cause: The fourth argument (actual parameter) passed to the named pragma
(compiler directive) was not a numeric literal, as required. The parameter might be
52-8 Oracle Database Error Messages
misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be faulty (for example, a comma might be
missing between two parameters).
Action: Check the spelling of the fourth parameter, and make sure the proper
syntax was used.
PLS-00164: cursor subqueries are not supported in this release
Cause: This feature is not yet implemented.
Action: None
PLS-00165: call statement is not supported in PL/SQL
Cause: A CALL statement was found in PL/SQL source.
Action: Use an ordinary PL/SQL function or procedure call.
PLS-00166: bad format for date, time, timestamp or interval literal
Cause: The contents of the date, time, timestamp or interval literal did not match
the expected format.
Action: Correct the format for the date, datetime, or interval literal.
PLS-00167: keyword BULK is used in a wrong context
Cause: keyword BULK is used illegally. For example, BULK is used without INTO
clause
Action: remove the keyword BULK.
PLS-00168: duplicate modifier specification 'string'
Cause: A method or object type modifier was specified more than once.
Action: Remove all but one occurence of the duplicate modifier.
PLS-00169: modifier 'string' conflicts with prior 'string' specification
Cause: The method or object type modifier specified conflicts with an earlier
modifier. For example, a FINAL modifier cannot be combined with a NOT FINAL
modifier.
Action: Remove one of the conflicting modifiers.
PLS-00170: the SQL statement in an OPEN statement or FOR loop must be a
SELECT
Cause: An OPEN cursor statement or cursor FOR loop can only invoke a SELECT
statement, not an UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE.
Action: Use only SELECT statements in OPEN or cursor FOR loops
PLS-00171: duplicate dedicated AGENT specification in subprogram expression
Cause: The subprogram was found to have two dedicated AGENT specifications.
Action: Remove one of the dedicated AGENT specifications.
PLS-00172: string literal too long
Cause: The string literal was longer than 32767 bytes.
Action: Use a string literal of at most 32767 bytes.
PLS-00173: SPACE, TAB or RETURN are disallowed as alternative quote delimiters
Cause: SPACE, TAB or RETURN was used as alternative quote delimiter.
Action: Use a character other than SPACE, TAB or RETURN as the alternative
quote delimiter.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-9
PLS-00174: a static boolean expression must be used
Cause: The expression contained a syntax or semantic error, or it did not have a
boolean type or its evaluation raised an exception.
Action: Write correct static boolean expression.
PLS-00176: unexpected preprocessor token '$string'
Cause: A preprocessor token was used inappropriately.
Action: Remove the preprocessor token that is inappropriately used.
PLS-00177: '$string' preprocessor directive does not end properly
Cause: A preprocessor directive was not ended properly.
Action: Use $end to end the preprocessor directive properly.
PLS-00178: a static character expression must be used
Cause: The expression contained a syntax or semantic error, or it did not have a
character type or its evaluation raised an exception.
Action: Write correct static character expression.
PLS-00179: $ERROR: string
Cause: $ERROR directive was used. This is an expected error message.
Action: NA
PLS-00180: preprocessor directives are not supported in this context
Cause: A preprocessor directive was used in a compilation unit for which
conditional compilation is not supported.
Action: Do not use any preprocessor directives in this compilation unit.
PLS-00181: unsupported preprocessor directive 'string'
Cause: An unsupported preprocessor directive was used.
Action: Use a supported preprocessor directive.
PLS-00182: Identifier cannot be an empty string
Cause: Identifier was declared using an empty string,
Action: rename the identifier to a non empty string.
PLS-00183: too many bind variables
Cause: The library unit used more bind variables than permitted. (The current
limit is 65535 bind variables in one library unit.)
Action: Reduce the number of bind variables in the library unit. Consider
splitting the library unit into two or more library units, or shrinking repetitious or
patterned code (possibly by creating helper routines.)
PLS-00201: identifier 'string' must be declared
Cause: You tried to reference either an undeclared variable, exception, procedure,
or other item, or an item to which no privilege was granted or an item to which
privilege was granted only through a role.
Action: 1) Check your spelling and declaration of the referenced name. 2) Verify
that the declaration for the referenced item is placed correctly in the block
structure. 3) If the referenced item is indeed declared but you don't have privileges
to refer to that item, for security reasons, you will be notified only that the item is
not declared. 4) If the referenced item is indeed declared and you believe that you
have privileges to refer to that item, check the privileges; if the privileges were
52-10 Oracle Database Error Messages
granted only via a role, then this is expected and documented behavior. Stored
objects (packages, procedures, functions, triggers, views) run in the security
domain of the object owner with no roles enabled except PUBLIC. Again, you will
be notified only that the item was not declared.
PLS-00202: type 'string' must be declared
Cause: An attempt was made to reference an undefined type. Either the type
specifier was not declared or it is not within the scope of the reference.
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the type specifier. Also confirm that
the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.
PLS-00203: function DECODE must be called with at least 3 non-boolean
arguments
Cause: Less than three arguments were passed to the built-in function DECODE.
Though DECODE takes a variable number of (non-Boolean) arguments, at least
three arguments must be passed.
Action: Call DECODE with three or more arguments
PLS-00204: function or pseudo-column 'string' may be used inside a SQL statement
only
Cause: A pseudocolumn or proscribed function was used in a procedural
statement. The SQL pseudocolumns (LEVEL, ROWID, ROWNUM) can be used
only in SQL statements. Likewise, certain functions such as DECODE, DUMP, and
VSIZE and the SQL group functions (AVG, MIN, MAX, COUNT, SUM, STDDEV,
VARIANCE) can be used only in SQL statements.
Action: Remove the pseudocolumn reference or function call from the procedural
statement. Or, replace the procedural statement with a SELECT INTO statement;
for example, replace bonus := DECODE(rating, 1, 5000, 2, 2500, …); with the
following statement: SELECT DECODE(rating, 1, 5000, 2, 2500, …) INTO bonus
FROM dual;
PLS-00205: Aggregate not allowed here
Cause: An aggregate, that is, a parenthesized list of values such as (7788, 'SCOTT',
20), was found in an inappropriate context.
Action: Remove or relocate the aggregate.
PLS-00206: %TYPE must be applied to a variable, column, field or attribute, not to
"string"
Cause: The program object declared using the %TYPE datatype attribute is not of
the appropriate class. It must be a variable, column, record component,
subprogram formal parameter, or other object to which values can be assigned.
Action: Declare an object of the appropriate class or define the datatype in
another way (for example, use %ROWTYPE).
PLS-00207: identifier 'string', applied to implicit cursor SQL, is not a legal cursor
attribute
Cause: An identifier that is not a cursor attribute was applied to the identifier
SQL. For example, this error occurs if the cursor attribute is misspelled.
Action: Check the spelling of the cursor attribute name. Make sure the attribute is
one of these: %NOTFOUND, %FOUND, %ROWCOUNT, %ISOPEN.
PLS-00208: identifier 'string' is not a legal cursor attribute
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-11
Cause: An identifier not declared as a cursor attribute was applied to an identifier
declared as a cursor. For example, this error occurs if the cursor attribute is
misspelled.
Action: Check the spelling of the cursor attribute name. Make sure the attribute is
one of these: %NOTFOUND, %FOUND, %ROWCOUNT, %ISOPEN.
PLS-00209: table 'string' is not in FROM clause
Cause: In a query, a table referenced by the select list is not named in the FROM
clause.
Action: Check the spelling of the table names, make sure each column in the select
list refers to a table in the FROM clause, then re-execute the query.
PLS-00210: an OTHERS clause is required in this CASE statement
Cause: Unless the clauses of a CASE statement mention all values of the type of
the selecting expression, an OTHERS clause must be provided as the last clause of
the CASE statement. It is impossible to cover all values of type INTEGER (or
NUMBER), so an OTHERS clause is always required when the expression
following the keyword CASE is of type INTEGER (or NUMBER).
Action: None
PLS-00211: CASE labels or ranges must not be duplicated in different WHEN
clauses
Cause: In this CASE statement, a value appears in more than one WHEN clause.
A value may appear in at most one WHEN clause of a CASE statement.
Action: None
PLS-00212: could not obtain enough memory to compile CASE statement
Cause: The CASE statement is too big. The compiler did not have enough storage
to process it.
Action: None
PLS-00213: package STANDARD not accessible
Cause: The PL/SQL compiler could not find package STANDARD in the current
Oracle database. To compile a program, PL/SQL needs package STANDARD.
Action: Make sure that package STANDARD is available in the current Oracle
database, then retry the operation.
PLS-00214: BEGIN…END block nesting is too deep
Cause: The number of levels of nesting in the PL/SQL block is too large. Blocks
can be nested up to 255 levels deep, depending on the availability of system
resources such as memory.
Action: Reorganize the block structure to avoid nesting at too deep a level. For
example, move the lowest-level sub-block to a higher level.
PLS-00215: String length constraints must be in range (1 .. 32767)
Cause: When a character variable was declared, a length outside the legal range
was specified. For example, the following declarations are illegal: flag CHAR(0); --
illegal; zero length name VARCHAR2(-10); -- illegal; negative length
Action: Change the length constraint, making sure that it lies in the range 1 ..
PLS-00216: NUMBER precision constraint must be in range (1 .. 38)
52-12 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: A NUMBER variable was declared with a precision that is outside the
legal range. Declarations such as N NUMBER(800) or N NUMBER(123,10) are not
supported.
Action: Change the illegal NUMBER precision constraint, making sure that it lies
in the range 1 .. 38.
PLS-00217: NUMBER scale constraint must be in range (-84 .. 127)
Cause: A NUMBER variable was declared with a scale that is outside the legal
range. Declarations such as N NUMBER(10,345) or N NUMBER(10,-100) are not
supported.
Action: Change the illegal NUMBER scale constraint, making sure that it lies in
the range -84 .. 127.
PLS-00218: a variable declared NOT NULL must have an initialization assignment
Cause: In general, variables that have no initialization clause in their declaration
are automatically initialized to NULL. This is illogical for NOT NULL variables;
therefore, an initialization clause is required.
Action: Add an initialization clause to the variable declaration. If the initilization
is too complicated for the syntax, one can add a function call (in a later release).
PLS-00219: label 'string' reference is out of scope
Cause: A block or loop label was used to qualify a variable (as in outer_
block.date) that was not declared or is not within the scope of the label. The
variable name might be misspelled, its declaration might be faulty, or the
declaration might be placed incorrectly in the block structure.
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the variable name. Also confirm
that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.
PLS-00220: simple name required in this context
Cause: A qualified name such as A.B or A.B.C is not permitted here.
Action: Use a simple name such as A instead.
PLS-00221: 'string' is not a procedure or is undefined
Cause: An identifier being referenced as a procedure was not declared or actually
represents another object (for example, it might have been declared as a function).
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the
declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.
PLS-00222: no function with name 'string' exists in this scope
Cause: An identifier being referenced as a function was not declared or actually
represents another object (for example, it might have been declared as a
procedure).
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the
declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.
PLS-00223: paramaterless procedure 'string' used as function
Cause: An identifier being referenced as a parameterless function actually
represents a procedure.
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the
declaration is placed correctly in the block structure. If necessary, change the
declaration of the identifier or change the reference so that it does not require a
return value.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-13
PLS-00224: object 'string' must be of type function or array to be used this way
Cause: An identifier being referenced as a function or an array actually represents
an object (a number or date, for example) that cannot be referenced in this way.
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the
declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.
PLS-00225: subprogram or cursor 'string' reference is out of scope
Cause: The prefix in a qualified name was a subprogram or cursor which was not
in an enclosing scope; i.e., a subprogram or cursor name is being used as a scope
qualifier for a reference to an entity (within that subprogram or cursor) that is not
in scope. Example: declare x number; type t1 is record (a number); function f
return t1 is a number; begin x := f.a; -- legal use of function "f" as a scope qualifier;
-- resolves to local variable "a" in function "f". x := f().a; -- legal reference to
component "a" of returned record end; begin x := f.a; -- illegal use of function "f" as
a scope qualifier x := f().a; -- legal reference to component "a" of returned record
end;
Action: a) if the intention was to refer to a local variable of a non-enclosing
function, this is not allowed; remove the reference b) if this is a parameterless
function, and the the intention was to access a field of the result of a call to this
function, then use empty parentheses in the call.
PLS-00226: package 'string' used as variable reference
Cause: A package was referenced in an expression as if it were a variable or
function. Either the name of the variable or function is misspelled or the reference
is not fully qualified. For example, to call the function my_function, which is
stored in package my_package, dot notation must be used, as follows: … my_
package.my_function …
Action: Correct the spelling of the variable or function name or use dot notation
to reference the packaged variable or function.
PLS-00227: subprogram 'in' formal string is not yet denotable
Cause: When the formal parameters of a subprogram were declared, one
parameter was used to initialize another, as in PROCEDURE my_proc (j
NUMBER, k NUMBER := j) IS … The first parameter has no value until run time,
so it cannot be used to initialize another parameter.
Action: Remove the illegal formal parameter reference.
PLS-00228: Illegal declaration of variable of type LONG
Cause: The identifier is a formal parameter which is being used in the context of a
default expression value for a formal parameter in the same formal parameter list.
E.g.: procedure p(j number, k number := j).
Action: Remove the offending variable definition
PLS-00229: Attribute expression within SQL expression
Cause: An attribute expression, such as SQL%NOTFOUND, was used in a SQL
statement, but attribute expressions are allowed only in procedural statements.
Action: To workaround this limitation, assign the value of the attribute expression
to a variable, then use the variable in the SQL statement. For example, replace the
statement INSERT INTO audits VALUES (c1%ROWCOUNT, …); with the
following statements: row_count := c1%ROWCOUNT; INSERT INTO audits
VALUES (row_count, …);
PLS-00230: OUT and IN OUT formal parameters may not have default expressions
52-14 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: When the formal parameters of a procedure were declared, an OUT or IN
OUT parameter was initialized to a default value, as in PROCEDURE calc_bonus
(bonus OUT REAL := 0, …) IS … However, only IN parameters can be initialized to
default values.
Action: Remove the illegal default expression.
PLS-00231: function 'string' may not be used in SQL
Cause: A proscribed function was used in a SQL statement. Certain functions
such as SQLCODE and SQLERRM can be used only in procedural statements.
Action: Remove the function call from the SQL statement. Or, replace the function
call with a local variable. For example, the following statement is illegal: INSERT
INTO errors VALUES (SQLCODE, SQLERRM); However, you can assign the
values of SQLCODE and SQLERRM to local variables, then use the variables in the
SQL statement, as follows: err_num := SQLCODE; err_msg := SQLERRM; INSERT
INTO errors VALUES (err_num, err_msg);
PLS-00232: nested packages not permitted
Cause: A package was declared inside another package, but package declarations
are allowed only at the top level. In other words, packages cannot be nested.
Action: Move the package declaration outside the enclosing package.
PLS-00233: function name used as an exception name in when clause
Cause: The WHEN clause in an exception handler contains a function call instead
of an exception name. A valid exception handler consists of a WHEN clause,
which must specify an exception, followed by a sequence of statements to be
executed when that exception is raised.
Action: Check the spelling of the identifier in the WHEN clause, then replace the
function call with an exception name.
PLS-00234: PARAMETER STYLE SQL may not be specified with a PARAMATERS
list
Cause: A subprogram cannot specify both PARAMETER STYLE SQL and an
explicit PARAMETERS list. Use PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL to supply
default PARAMETERS list types.
Action: Change the subprogram specification.
PLS-00235: the external type is not appropriate for the parameter
Cause: An unsuccessful attempt was made to convert a parameter to the specified
external parameter type.
Action: Specify a different external type or parameter type.
PLS-00236: Invalid external type specification for string.
Cause: The external type specified is not valid for one of the following:
INDICATOR, LENGTH, MAXLEN, TDO, DURATION, CHARSETID, or
CHARSETFORM.
Action: Check the manual and specify an appropriate external type.
PLS-00237: invalid BY VALUE indicator or length specification
Cause: BY VALUE was specified with an indicator or length parameter that is
being passed in OUT or IN OUT mode. Only IN mode parameters may be passed
by value.
Action: Remove the BY VALUE specification or change it to IN mode.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-15
PLS-00238: external parameter name string not found in formal parameter list
Cause: An external parameter name was specified that does not match one in the
formal parameter list.
Action: Correct the external parameter name.
PLS-00239: invalid external type specification for SQLCODE
Cause: An inappropriate external parameter type was specified for the SQLCODE
parameter.
Action: Correct the SQLCODE parameter specification.
PLS-00240: Invalid type specification for RETURN indicator, length, tdo, duration
Cause: An inappropriate external parameter type was specified for the RETURN
indicator, LENGTH, TDO, or DURATION.
Action: Correct the RETURN parameter specification.
PLS-00241: invalid external type specification for SQLSTATE
Cause: An inappropriate external parameter type was specified for the SQLSTATE
parameter.
Action: Correct the SQLSTATE parameter specification.
PLS-00242: invalid external type specification for CONTEXT
Cause: An inappropriate external parameter type was specified for the CONTEXT
parameter.
Action: Correct the CONTEXT parameter specification.
PLS-00243: invalid external type specification for SQLNAME
Cause: An inappropriate external parameter type was specified for the
SQLNAME parameter.
Action: Correct the SQLNAME parameter specification.
PLS-00244: Multiple declarations in foreign function formal parameter list
Cause: There are multiple declarations of at least one the following FORMAL,
INDICATOR, LENGTH, MAXLENGTH, or CONTEXT. PL/SQL allows only one
declaration of the above for each formal parameter in the PARAMETERS clause.
Action: Correct the PARAMETERS clause.
PLS-00245: Formals used in the 'parameters' clause must appear exactly once
Cause: There are multiple declarations of the formal parameter in the
PARAMETERS clause. PL/SQL allows only one declaration of the formal
parameter in the PARAMETERS clause.
Action: Correct the PARAMETERS clause.
PLS-00246: PARAMETER STYLE is unsupported
Cause: A PARAMETER STYLE clause was placed in the external subprogram
body.
Action: Remove the PARAMETER STYLE clause.
PLS-00247: LIBRARY or ASSEMBLY name must be specified
Cause: The LIBRARY or ASSEMBLY name is missing from the external
subprogram body.
Action: The LIBRARY or ASSEMBLY name was not specified in the external
subprogram body.
52-16 Oracle Database Error Messages
PLS-00248: Invalid Library Syntax
Cause: The LIBRARY syntax was entered incorrectly.
Action: Correct the LIBRARY syntax and recompile.
PLS-00249: Invalid WITH CONTEXT Syntax
Cause: CONTEXT was used in a WITH CONTEXT or a PARAMETERS clause.
This is invalid.
Action: Check if WITH CONTEXT is used without specifying CONTEXT in the
PARAMETERS clause or vice versa. The PARAMETERS clause must be complete.
Thus if WITH CONTEXT is specified, then CONTEXT must be referenced in the
PARAMETERS clause (if there is one).
PLS-00250: Incorrect Usage of string in parameters clause.
Cause: The usage of Keywords such as MAXLEN, LENGTH, CHARSETID,
CHARSETFORM RETURN in the parameters clause was incorrect
Action: This error occurs if keywords like MAXLEN, LENGTH, TDO,
DURATION, CHARSETID, or CHARSETFORM cannot be used with PL/SQL
formal parameters or the mode of the formal parameter. For example, MAXLEN
can only be declared for a CHAR or VARCHAR2 PL/SQL variable and its use is
allowed only for OUT or INOUT PL/SQL variables. Also, RETURN was specified
in the parameters clause for a PL/SQL PROCEDURE. E.g. CREATE PROCEDURE
proc IS EXTERNAL NAME … LIBRARY … PARAMETERS(RETURN INDICATOR
SHORT, RETURN);
PLS-00251: RETURN, for actual function return, must be last in the parameters
clause
Cause: RETURN specification for the actual function return, used within the
parameters clause must hold the very last position. Example : The following will
give this error since the RETURN specification for the actual function return in the
parameters clause is not the last. FUNCTION myexternalfunc (var1 BINARY_
INTEGER, var2 BINARY_INTEGER) RETURN BINARY_INTEGER IS EXTERNAL
NAME "myexternalfunc" LIBRARY somelib PARAMETERS (var1 LONG, var2
SHORT, RETURN INT, RETURN INDICATOR SHORT); The correct syntax is the
following. Note that RETURN for actual function return is the last specification in
the parameters clause. FUNCTION myexternalfunc (var1 BINARY_INTEGER,
var2 BINARY_INTEGER) RETURN BINARY_INTEGER IS EXTERNAL NAME
"myexternalfunc" LIBRARY somelib PARAMETERS (var1 LONG, var2 SHORT,
RETURN INDICATOR SHORT, RETURN INT);
Action: Correct the syntax of the RETURN specification in the parameters clause
PLS-00252: reference to the wrong copy of package STANDARD
Cause: A reference is made to the fixed package version of STANDARD when the
database is open, or to the on-disk version when the database is closed. Explicit
use of a SYS.X$ package name can lead to this. One might also see this from a
compilation that begins while the db is closed but has the bad luck to have another
session open the db before compilation is complete. Another possible cause is
having 'set serveroutput on' through svrmgrl when doing an 'alter database close'.
Action: Make use of on-disk versions of packages when the database is open and
fixed (preloaded) versions when the database is closed. Do not attempt to use the
wrong set. It should be quite hard to reference the wrong set, except by using
SYS.X$ package names explicitly. Also, be sure to 'set serveroutput off' before
doing an 'alter database close'.
PLS-00253: Formal parameter string missing in the parameters clause
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-17
Cause: The parameter clause does not have a matching parameter for a parameter
specified in the formal parameter list.
Action: Provide a matching parameter in parameters clause for every formal
parameter.
PLS-00254: OUT and IN/OUT modes cannot be used in this context
Cause: actual parameter mode (OUT, or IN/OUT) is not used properly in USING
clause. For USING clause in an OPEN statement, only IN mode is allowed.
Action: change the parameter mode in the USING clause to an appropriate mode.
PLS-00255: CALL Specification parameters cannot have default values
Cause: CALL Specification formal parameters default values are disallowed.
Action: Remove the default values in the formal parameter list (spec or body) and
compile again.
PLS-00256: string is not a valid external library or assembly
Cause: The supplied external library or assembly name in the external clause is
not a valid alias library or assembly.
Action: Provide the name of a valid alias library or assembly which is previously
declared.
PLS-00257: illegal use of EXTERNAL clause in a TYPE or PACKAGE specification
Cause: An EXTERNAL Clause was detected in a TYPE Specification or a
PACKAGE specification.
Action: Remove the EXTERNAL Clause and use the new CALL Specification
syntax.
PLS-00258: constrained datatypes disallowed in CALL Specifications
Cause: A call specification for C or Java cannot have constraints on the PL/SQL
formal parameter types. PL/SQL types which have have constraints are
NATURAL, NATURALN, POSITIVE, POSITIVEN, SIGNTYPE, INTEGER, INT,
SMALLINT, DECIMAL, NUMERIC, DEC This includes NOT NULL constraints
from POSITIVEN, NATURALN
Action: Use the unconstrained type for that PL/SQL formal declaration i.e
NUMBER, BINARY_INTEGER or PLS_INTEGER
PLS-00259: rights model (AUTHID) must be specified
Cause: It is mandatory to specify the rights model if a PL/SQL PROCEDURE,
FUNCTION, PACKAGE OR TYPE HAS CALL-Specifications
Action: Add the AUTHID clause indicating the rights model.
PLS-00260: Datetime/Interval constraints must be in range (0 .. 9)
Cause: A Datetime/Interval variable or attribute was declared with a constraint
outside the legal range.
Action: Change the illegal constraint.
PLS-00261: Java CALL Specification not yet allowed as a method in an object type
Cause: A call specification declaring that an implementation is in Java has been
found for a method of an object or opaque type. This usage is not yet supported.
Action: Implement the method using a language other than Java. A PL/SQL
method implementation is permitted to call to Java through a call specification
provided as a schema-level procedure or in a package; such a call specification can
52-18 Oracle Database Error Messages
only target a static Java method, however. ****** errors until 300 are reserved for
External Procedures ********** ****** PH2 errors **********
PLS-00301: Invalid GOTO to non-label 'string'
Cause: A GOTO was attempted to something which is not a label (for example, a
variable).
Action: Specify a valid label name.
PLS-00302: component 'string' must be declared
Cause: In a reference to a component (for example, in the name "A.B", "B" is a
component of "A"), the component has not been declared. The component might
be misspelled, its declaration might be faulty, or the declaration might be placed
incorrectly in the block structure.
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the component. Also confirm that
the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.
PLS-00303: qualifier 'string' must be declared
Cause: In a name such as "A.B", "A" is the qualifier, and "B" is a component of the
qualifier. This error occurs when no declaration for the qualifier is found.The
qualifier might be misspelled, its declaration might be faulty, or the declaration
might be placed incorrectly in the block structure.
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the qualifier. Also confirm that the
declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.
PLS-00304: cannot compile body of 'string' without its specification
Cause: The compiled package specification required to compile a package body
could not be found. Some possible causes follow: --the package name is misspelled
--the package specification was never compiled --the compiled package
specification is not accessible The package specification must be compiled before
compiling the package body, and the compiler must have access to the compiled
specification.
Action: Check the spelling of the package name. Compile the package
specification before compiling the package body. Also, make sure the compiler has
access to the compiled specification.
PLS-00305: previous use of 'string' (at line string) conflicts with this use
Cause: While looking for prior declarations of a cursor, procedure, function, or
package, the compiler found another object with the same name in the same scope.
Or, the headers of subprogram in a package specification and body do not match
word for word.
Action: Check the spelling of the cursor, procedure, function, or package name.
Also check the names of all constants, variables, parameters, and exceptions
declared in the same scope. Then, remove or rename the object with the duplicate
name. Or, change the headers of the packaged subprogram so that they match
word for word.
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'string'
Cause: This error occurs when the named subprogram call cannot be matched to
any declaration for that subprogram name. The subprogram name might be
misspelled, a parameter might have the wrong datatype, the declaration might be
faulty, or the declaration might be placed incorrectly in the block structure. For
example, this error occurs if the built-in square root function SQRT is called with a
misspelled name or with a parameter of the wrong datatype.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-19
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the subprogram name. Also confirm
that its call is correct, its parameters are of the right datatype, and, if it is not a
built-in function, that its declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.
PLS-00307: too many declarations of 'string' match this call
Cause: The declaration of a subprogram or cursor name is ambiguous because
there was no exact match between the declaration and the call and more than one
declaration matched the call when implicit conversions of the parameter datatypes
were used. The subprogram or cursor name might be misspelled, its declaration
might be faulty, or the declaration might be placed incorrectly in the block
structure.
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the subprogram or cursor name.
Also confirm that its call is correct, its parameters are of the right datatype, and, if
it is not a built-in function, that its declaration is placed correctly in the block
structure.
PLS-00308: this construct is not allowed as the origin of an assignment
Cause: The construct or expression does not designate a value that can be
assigned to a variable. For example, the datatype name NUMBER cannot appear
on the right hand side of an assignment statement as in X := NUMBER.
Action: Correct the illegal assignment statement.
PLS-00309: with %LAST attribute, 'string' must be a variable of an enumerated type
Cause: The "%LAST" attribute must be applied to an identifier that has been
declared as a variable of an enumerated type (or subtype of an enumerated type).
This error occurs when "%LAST" follows some identifier that has not been so
declared.
Action: None
PLS-00310: with %ROWTYPE attribute, 'string' must name a table, cursor or
cursor-variable
Cause: The %ROWTYPE attribute must be applied to an identifier declared as a
cursor, cursor variable, or database table. This error occurs when %ROWTYPE
follows some identifier that has not been so declared.
Action: Change the declaration or do not apply the %ROWTYPE attribute to the
identifier.
PLS-00311: the declaration of "string" is incomplete or malformed
Cause: This occurrence of the identifier cannot be compiled because its type has
not been properly defined.
Action: Correct the faulty datatype declaration.
PLS-00312: a positional parameter association may not follow a named association
Cause: When a list of parameters is passed to a subprogram or cursor, if both
positional and named associations are used, all positional associations must be
placed in their declared order and before all named associations, which can be in
any order.
Action: Reorder the parameter list to meet the requirements or use named
association only.
PLS-00313: 'string' not declared in this scope
52-20 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: There is no declaration for the given identifier within the scope of
reference. The identifier might be misspelled, its declaration might be faulty, or the
declaration might be placed incorrectly in the block structure.
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the
declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.
PLS-00314: TABLE declarations are not allowed as PL/SQL local variables
Cause: In a precompiled program, the DECLARE TABLE statement was
mistakenly used inside an embedded PL/SQL block. If an embedded PL/SQL
block refers to a database table that does not yet exist, use the DECLARE TABLE
statement to tell the precompiler what the table will look like. However,
DECLARE TABLE statements are allowed only in the host program.
Action: Move the DECLARE TABLE statement outside the embedded PL/SQL
block. If you want a variable that can store an entire row of data selected from a
database table or fetched from a cursor or cursor variable, use the %ROWTYPE
attribute.
PLS-00315: Implementation restriction: unsupported table index type
Cause: In the INDEX BY clause of a PL/SQL table declaration, a datatype other
than BINARY_INTEGER, PLS_INTEGER, or VARCHAR2 was specified. PL/SQL
tables can have one column and a primary key. The column can have any scalar
type, but the primary key must be either a binary integer type or VARCHAR2.
Action: Use one of the supported key types in the INDEX BY clause.
PLS-00316: PL/SQL TABLEs must use a single index
Cause: In the INDEX BY clause of a PL/SQL table declaration, a composite
primary key was specified. PL/SQL tables must have a simple, unnamed primary
key of a binary integer or VARCHAR2 type.
Action: Use one of the supported key types in the INDEX BY clause.
PLS-00317: incomplete type "string" was not completed in its declarative region
Cause: An incomplete type declaration was not completed in the declarative
region where it was declared.
Action: Complete the type appropriately, then retry the operation.
PLS-00318: type "string" is malformed because it is a non-REF mutually recursive
type
Cause: A type-declaration such as: -- a non-REF recursive type, for example: type
t is record (a t); or -- non-REF mutually dependent types, for example: type t1; type
t2 is record (a t1); type t1 is record (a t2); was performed. In these examples, the
type is malformed because it participates in a mutually recursive non-REF
relationship with itself and possibly other types.
Action: Use another type to remove the recursion.
PLS-00319: subquery in an IN or NOT IN clause must contain exactly one column
Cause: An invalid expression such as X IN (SELECT A,B …) was used. When a
[NOT]IN clause is used with a subquery, it does not test for set membership. The
number of expressions in the [NOT]IN clause and the subquery select list must
match. So, in the example above, the subquery must specify at most one column.
Action: Change the subquery to select only one column.
PLS-00320: the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or
malformed
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-21
Cause: In a declaration, the name of a variable or cursor is misspelled or the
declaration makes a forward reference. Forward references are not allowed in
PL/SQL. A variable or cursor must be declared before it is referenced it in other
statements, including other declarative statements. For example, the following
declaration of dept_rec raises this exception because it refers to a cursor not yet
declared: DECLARE dept_rec dept_cur%ROWTYPE; CURSOR dept_cur IS
SELECT … …
Action: Check the spelling of all identifiers in the declaration. If necessary, move
the declaration so that it makes no forward references.
PLS-00321: expression 'string' is inappropriate as the left hand side of an
assignment statement
Cause: The expression does not designate a variable that can have a value
assigned to it. For example, the function SYSDATE cannot appear on the left hand
side of an assignment statement such as SYSDATE := '01-JAN-1990';
Action: Correct the illegal assignment statement.
PLS-00322: declaration of a constant 'string' must contain an initialization
assignment
Cause: A constant declaration lacks the assignment of an initial value. For
example, in the following declaration" := 3.14159" is the initialization clause: "pi
constant number := 3.14159;"
Action: Correct the constant declaration by supplying the missing initialization
assignment.
PLS-00323: subprogram or cursor 'string' is declared in a package specification and
must be defined in the package body
Cause: A subprogram specification was placed in a package specification, but the
corresponding subprogram body was not placed in the package body. The
package body implements the package specification. So, the package body must
contain the definition of every subprogram declared in the package specification.
Action: Check the spelling of the subprogram name. If necessary, add the missing
subprogram body to the package body.
PLS-00324: cursor attribute may not be applied to non-cursor 'string'
Cause: This error occurs when a cursor-attribute ("%FOUND", "%NOTFOUND",
"%ROWS", "%IS_OPEN", etc.) appears following an identifier that is not declared
as a cursor or cursor variable. It occurs, for example, if the variable name my_cur
in my_cur%FOUND was not properly declared as a cursor or if the variable
declaration was placed incorrectly in the block structure.
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the
declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.
PLS-00325: non-integral numeric literal string is inappropriate in this context
Cause: A non-integral numeric literal was used in a context that requires an
integer (a number with no digits to the right of its decimal point).
Action: Replace the inappropriate literal with an integer literal.
PLS-00326: IN clause must contain same number of expressions as subquery
Cause: The number of expressions in an IN clause did not equal the number of
expressions in a corresponding subquery select list. For example, the following
statement is invalid because the IN clause contains two expressions, but the
52-22 Oracle Database Error Messages
subquery select list contains just one: … WHERE (ename, sal) IN (SELECT sal
FROM emp);
Action: Check the number of expressions in each set, then revise the statement to
make the numbers equal.
PLS-00327: "string" is not in SQL scope here
Cause: In a SQL statement, a reference was made to an out-of-scope database
object. The referenced object might be misspelled, or the reference might be mixed,
as in the following example: CURSOR c1 IS SELECT dept.dname FROM emp;
Action: Check the spelling of all database objects in the SQL statement, and make
sure all references are to objects within the current scope.
PLS-00328: A subprogram body must be defined for the forward declaration of
string.
Cause: A subprogram specification was declared, but the corresponding
subprogram body was not defined. Write the subprogram specification and body
as a unit. An alternative solution is to separate the specification from its body,
which is necessary when you want to define mutually recursive subprograms or
you want to group subprograms in a package.
Action: Check the spelling of the subprogram name. If necessary, supply the
missing subprogram body.
PLS-00329: schema-level type has illegal reference to string
Cause: An attempt was made to make a reference from a schema-level type to
something other than a schema-level type.
Action: Replace the illegal reference and retry the operation.
PLS-00330: invalid use of type name or subtype name
Cause: A datatype or subtype specifier was mistakenly used in place of a
constant, variable, or expression. For example, the code might look like IF emp_
count > number THEN … -- illegal; NUMBER is a datatype specifier
Action: Replace the datatype or subtype specifier with a valid constant, variable,
or expression.
PLS-00331: illegal reference to string
Cause: You had an EITHER
1. an illegal reference to some object in user SYS. to use one of them in an illegal
way OR
2. an illegal reference to a remote object type.
Action: Remove the reference.
PLS-00332: "string" is not a valid prefix for a qualified name
Cause: You have a malformed qualified name because the prefix is not valid.
Action: Remove or change the reference.
PLS-00333: "string" must match an object-table alias in this context
Cause: The name, appearing in the context of a REF or VALUE, did not resolve to
an object-table alias.
Action: 1) If there is no object table in the scope, then remove the REF or VALUE;
or provide the missing object table reference. 2) If there is an object table in the
scope, but you're not referring to it, add the reference.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-23
PLS-00334: "string" matches table or view without an alias
Cause: You have a reference to a table or view name without an alias.
Action: Replace the reference with a reference to an object-table alias.
PLS-00335: a package name conflicts with an existing object
Cause: In a CREATE PACKAGE statement, a package (which is a database object
that groups logically related PL/SQL types, objects, and subprograms) was given
the same name as an existing database object.
Action: Give the package a unique name.
PLS-00336: non-object-table "string" illegal in this context
Cause: You have a REF or VALUE modifier for a non-object-table
Action: Replace the reference with a reference to an object-table alias.
PLS-00337: "string" matches too many object table aliases
Cause: You have an ambiguous reference to an object-table alias; there are at least
two object-table aliases in the same scope.
Action: Remove all but one of the references or change the alias names of the
remaining.
PLS-00338: unable to resolve "string" as a column or row expression
Cause: You have a reference to a name that could not be resolved as a column or
row expression. This occurred in an update or insert statement involving an
object-table.
Action: If this is an update statement and you intended to code this as a column
reference, fix it as such. If you intended to code this as a row expression, change
this to refer to an alias of an object-table.
PLS-00339: "string" matches object-table without a REF or VALUE modifier
Cause: You have an object-table name appearing without a REF or VALUE
modifier.
Action: If you intended to code this with a REF or VALUE modifier, add the
modifier; if you intended to code this as a column reference, change the reference
appropriately; otherwise, remove the reference.
PLS-00341: declaration of cursor 'string' is incomplete or malformed
Cause: A cursor declaration is improper or an identifier referenced in the cursor
declaration was not properly declared. A return type that does not refer to an
existing database table or a previously declared cursor or cursor variable might
have been specified. For example, the following cursor declaration is illegal
because c1 is not yet fully defined: CURSOR c1 RETURN c1%ROWTYPE IS
SELECT … -- illegal In this case, a return type does not have to be specified
because it is implicit.
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the cursor name and any identifiers
referenced in the cursor declaration. Also confirm that the declaration is placed
correctly in the block structure. If a return type was specified, make sure that it
refers to an existing database table or a previously declared cursor or cursor
variable.
PLS-00351: Not logged onto database 'string'
Cause: An attempt was made to access an Oracle database without being logged
on. Probably, an invalid username or password was entered.
52-24 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Log on to Oracle with a correctly spelled username and password before
trying to access the database.
PLS-00352: Unable to access another database 'string'
Cause: An attempt was made to reference an object in a database other than the
current local or remote Oracle database.
Action: Correct the reference and make sure the object is in the current Oracle
database.
PLS-00353: 'string' must name a user in the database
Cause: This error occurs when the username was misspelled or when the user
does not exist in the database.
Action: Check the spelling of the username and make sure the user exists.
PLS-00354: username must be a simple identifier
Cause: A qualified username such as scott.accts is not permitted in this context.
Action: Specify a simple username such as scott instead.
PLS-00355: use of pl/sql table not allowed in this context
Cause: A PL/SQL table was referenced in the wrong context (for example, with a
remote link).
Action: Remove the PL/SQL table reference or change the context.
PLS-00356: 'string' must name a table to which the user has access
Cause: The named table is not accessible to the user. This error occurs when the
table name or username was misspelled, the table and/or user does not exist in
the database, the user was not granted the necessary privileges, or the table name
duplicates the name of a local variable or loop counter.
Action: Check the spelling of the table name and username. Also confirm that the
table and user exist, the user has the necessary privileges, and the table name does
not duplicate the name of a local variable or loop counter.
PLS-00357: Table,View Or Sequence reference 'string' not allowed in this context
Cause: A reference to database table, view, or sequence was found in an
inappropriate context. Such references can appear only in SQL statements or
(excluding sequences) in %TYPE and %ROWTYPE declarations. Some valid
examples follow: SELECT ename, emp.deptno, dname INTO my_ename, my_
deptno, my_dept .FROM emp, dept WHERE emp.deptno = dept.deptno;
DECLARE last_name emp.ename%TYPE; dept_rec dept%ROWTYPE;
Action: Remove or relocate the illegal reference.
PLS-00358: column 'string' exists in more than one table; use qualifier
Cause: The statement is ambiguous because it specifies two or more tables having
the same column name. For example, the following statement is ambiguous
because deptno is a column in both tables: SELECT deptno, loc INTO my_deptno,
my_loc FROM emp, dept;
Action: Precede the column name with the table name (as in emp.deptno) so that
the column reference is unambiguous.
PLS-00359: assignment target in 'string' must have components
Cause: An assignment target was declared that lacks the components needed to
store the assigned values. For example, this error occurs if you try to assign a row
of column values to a variable instead of a record, as follows: DECLARE dept_rec
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-25
dept%ROWTYPE; my_deptno dept.deptno%TYPE; … BEGIN SELECT deptno,
dname, loc INTO my_deptno -- invalid FROM dept WHERE …
Action: Check the spelling of the names of the assignment target and all its
components. Make sure the assignment target is declared with the required
components and that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.
PLS-00360: cursor declaration without body needs return type
Cause: A cursor declaration lacks either a body (SELECT statement) or a return
type. If you want to separate a cursor specification from its body, a return type
must be supplied, as in CURSOR c1 RETURN emp%ROWTYPE;
Action: Add a SELECT statement or return type to the cursor declaration.
PLS-00361: IN cursor 'string' cannot be OPEN'ed
Cause: A cursor parameter with mode IN cannot be modified, and therefore
cannot be opened.
Action: Change the cursor parameter to be IN OUT or OUT
PLS-00362: invalid cursor return type; 'string' must be a record type
Cause: In a cursor specification or REF CURSOR type definition, a non- record
type such as NUMBER or TABLE was specified as the return type. This is not
allowed. Only the following return types are allowed:
Action: Revise the cursor specification or REF CURSOR type definition so that it
specifies one of the above return types.
PLS-00363: expression 'string' cannot be used as an assignment target
Cause: A literal, constant, IN parameter, loop counter, or function call was
mistakenly used as the target of an assignment. For example, the following
statement is illegal because the assignment target, 30, is a literal: SELECT deptno
INTO 30 FROM dept WHERE … -- illegal
Action: Correct the statement by using a valid assignment target.
PLS-00364: loop index variable 'string' use is invalid
Cause: An attempt was made to assign the value of an OUT parameter to
Action: Use an IN OUT parameter instead of the OUT parameter. Inside a
PLS-00366: subtype of a NOT NULL type must also be NOT NULL
Cause: After a subtype was defined as NOT NULL, it was used as the base type
for another subtype defined as NULL. That is not allowed. For example, the code
might look like DECLARE SUBTYPE Weekday IS INTEGER NOT NULL;
SUBTYPE Weekend IS Weekday NULL; -- illegal instead of DECLARE SUBTYPE
Weekday IS INTEGER NOT NULL; SUBTYPE Weekend IS Weekday;
Action: Revise the subtype definitions to eliminate the conflict.
PLS-00367: a RAISE statement with no exception name must be inside an exception
handler
Cause: A RAISE statement not followed by an exception name was found outside
an exception handler
Action: Delete the RAISE statement, relocate it to an exception handler, or supply
the missing exception name.
PLS-00368: in RAISE statement, 'string' must be an exception name
52-26 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The identifier in a RAISE statement is not a valid exception name.
Action: Make sure the identifier in the RAISE statement was declared as an
exception and is correctly placed in the block structure. If you are using the name
of a PL/SQL predefined exception, check its spelling.
PLS-00369: no choices may appear with choice OTHERS in an exception handler
Cause: A construct of the form WHEN excep1 OR OTHERS => was encountered
in the definition of an exception handler. The OTHERS handler must appear by
itself as the last exception handler in a block.
Action: Remove the identifier that appears with OTHERS or write a separate
exception handler for that identifier.
PLS-00370: OTHERS handler must be last among the exception handlers of a block
Cause: One or more exception handlers appear after an OTHERS handler.
However, the OTHERS handler must be the last handler in a block or subprogram
because it acts as the handler for all exceptions not named specifically.
Action: Move the OTHERS handler so that it follows all specific exception
handlers.
PLS-00371: at most one declaration for 'string' is permitted
Cause: A reference to an identifier was ambiguous because there were multiple
declarations for the identifier. At most one local variable with a given identifier is
permitted in the declarative part of a block, procedure, or function. At most one
label with a given identifier may appear in a block.
Action: Check the spelling of the identifier. If necessary, remove all but one
declaration of the identifier.
PLS-00372: In a procedure, RETURN statement cannot contain an expression
Cause: In a procedure, a RETURN statement contains an expression, which is not
allowed. In functions, a RETURN statement must contain an expression because
its value is assigned to the function identifier. However, in procedures, a RETURN
statement simply lets you exit before the normal end of the procedure is reached.
Action: Remove the expression from the RETURN statement, or redefine the
procedure as a function.
PLS-00373: EXIT/CONTINUE label 'string' must label a LOOP statement
Cause: The label in the EXIT or CONTINUE statement did not refer to a LOOP
statement. An EXIT or CONTINUE statement need not specify a label. However, if
a label is specified (as in EXIT my_label or CONTINUE my_label), it must refer to
a LOOP statement.
Action: Make sure the label name is spelled correctly and that it refers to a LOOP
statement.
PLS-00374: illegal EXIT/CONTINUE statement; must appear inside the loop labeled
'string'
Cause: The label in the EXIT or CONTINUE statement did not refer to a loop
statement. An EXIT or CONTINUE statement need not specify a label. However, if
a label is specified (as in EXIT my_label or CONTINUE my_label), the EXIT or
CONTINUE statement must be inside the LOOP statement designated by that
label.
Action: Make sure the label name is spelled correctly; if necessary, move the EXIT
or CONTINUE statement inside the LOOP statement to which the label refers.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-27
PLS-00375: illegal GOTO statement; this GOTO cannot branch to label 'string'
Cause: The line and column numbers accompanying the error message refer to a
GOTO that branches from outside a construct (a loop or exception handler, for
example) that contains a sequence of statements to a label inside that sequence of
statements. Such a branch is not allowed.
Action: Either move the GOTO statement inside the sequence of statements or
move the labeled statement outside the sequence of statements.
PLS-00376: illegal EXIT/CONTINUE statement; it must appear inside a loop
Cause: An EXIT or CONTINUE statement was found outside of a loop construct.
The EXIT statement is used to exit prematurely from a loop and the CONTINUE
statement is used to begin the next iteration of a loop; each must always appear
within a loop.
Action: Either remove the EXIT or CONTINUE statement or place it inside a loop.
PLS-00377: internal type PLS_INTEGER is not included in this release of PL/SQL
Cause: The type-name INTEGER was used in a declaration.
Action: None
PLS-00378: invalid compilation unit for this release of PL/SQL
Cause: A compilation unit is a file containing PL/SQL source code that is passed
to the compiler. Only compilation units containing blocks, declarations,
statements, and subprograms are allowed. This error occurs when some other
language construct is passed to the compiler.
Action: Make sure the compilation unit contains only blocks, declarations,
statements, and subprograms.
PLS-00379: CASE statements are not included in this release of PL/SQL
Cause: The unit being compiled contains a CASE statement. However, the current
release of PL/SQL does not support CASE statements.
Action: Remove the CASE statement from the compilation unit.
PLS-00380: functions and procedures are not included in this release of PL/SQL
Cause: The program being compiled contains a declaration of a FUNCTION or
PROCEDURE.
Action: None
PLS-00381: type mismatch found at 'string' between column and variable in
subquery or INSERT
Cause: The datatypes of a column and a variable do not match. The variable was
encountered in a subquery or INSERT statement.
Action: Change the variable datatype to match that of the column.
PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
Cause: An expression has the wrong datatype for the context in which it was
found.
Action: Change the datatype of the expression. You might want to use datatype
conversion functions.
PLS-00383: type mismatch found at 'string' inside an IN or NOT IN clause
52-28 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: In a test for set membership such as X NOT IN (SELECT Y … ), the
expressions X and Y do not match in datatype, and it is unclear which implicit
conversion is required to correct the mismatch.
Action: Change the expressions so that their datatypes match. You might want to
use datatype conversion functions in the select list.
PLS-00384: type mismatch found at 'string' in UPDATE's SET clause
Cause: The column to the left of the equal sign in the SET clause of an UPDATE
statement does not match in datatype with the column, expression, or subquery to
the right of the equal sign, and it is unclear which implicit conversion is required
to correct the mismatch.
Action: Change the expressions so that their datatypes match. You might want to
use datatype conversion functions in the SET clause.
PLS-00385: type mismatch found at 'string' in SELECT…INTO statement
Cause: The expressions to the left and right of the INTO clause in a
SELECT…INTO statement do not match in datatype, and it is unclear which
implicit conversion is required to correct the mismatch.
Action: Change the expressions so that their datatypes match. You might want to
use datatype conversion functions in the select list.
PLS-00386: type mismatch found at 'string' between FETCH cursor and INTO
variables
Cause: An assignment target in the INTO list of a FETCH statement does not
match in datatype with the corresponding column in the select list of the cursor
declaration, and it is unclear which implicit conversion is required to correct the
mismatch.
Action: Change the cursor declaration or change the datatype of the assignment
target. You might want to use datatype conversion functions in the select list of the
query associated with the cursor.
PLS-00387: INTO variable cannot be a database object
Cause: An item in the INTO list of a FETCH or SELECT statement was found to
be a database object. INTO introduces a list of user-defined variables to which
output values are assigned. Therefore, database objects cannot appear in the INTO
list.
Action: Check the spelling of the INTO list item. If necessary, remove the item
from the INTO list or replace it with a user-defined output variable.
PLS-00388: undefined column 'string' in subquery
Cause: A subquery contains a column name that was not defined in the specified
table.
Action: Change the expression to specify a column that was defined.
PLS-00389: table, view or alias name "string" not allowed in this context
Cause: A table, view or alias name
(non-object) table appeared in an inappropriate context.
Action: Remove the reference, or, if you intended to code this as a column
reference, fix it as such.
PLS-00390: undefined column 'string' in INSERT statement
Cause: Check the spelling of the column name, then change the expression so that
it refers only to defined columns.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-29
Action: Check the spelling of the column name, then change the expression so
that it refers only to defined columns.
PLS-00391: undefined column 'string' in UPDATE statement
Cause: An UPDATE statement refers to a column not defined for the table or view
being updated.
Action: Check the spelling of the column name, then revise the statement so that
it refers only to defined columns.
PLS-00392: Type mismatch in arguments to BETWEEN
Cause: In a comparison such as X BETWEEN Y AND Z, the expressions X, Y, and
Z do not match in datatype, and it is unclear which implicit conversion is required
to correct the mismatch.
Action: Change the expressions so that their datatypes match. You might want to
use datatype conversion functions.
PLS-00393: wrong number of columns in SELECT…INTO statement
Cause: The number of columns selected by a SELECT…INTO statement does not
match the number of variables in the INTO clause.
Action: Change the number of columns in the select list or the number of
variables in the INTO clause so that the numbers match.
PLS-00394: wrong number of values in the INTO list of a FETCH statement
Cause: The number of variables in the INTO clause of a FETCH statement does
not match the number of columns in the cursor declaration.
Action: Change the number of variables in the INTO clause or the number of
columns in the cursor declaration so that the numbers match.
PLS-00395: wrong number of values in VALUES clause of INSERT statement
Cause: The number of columns in an INSERT statement does not match the
number of values in the VALUES clause. For example, the following statement is
faulty because no column is specified for the value 20: INSERT INTO emp (empno,
ename) VALUES (7788, 'SCOTT', 20);
Action: Change the number of items in the column list or the number of items in
the VALUES list so that the numbers match.
PLS-00396: INSERT statement's subquery yields wrong number of columns
Cause: The number of columns in an INSERT statement does not match the
number of columns in a subquery select list. For example, the following statement
is faulty because no corresponding column is specified for col3: INSERT INTO
emp (ename, empno) SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM …
Action: Change the number of items in the column list of the INSERT statement
or the number of items in the select list so that the numbers match.
PLS-00397: Type mismatch in arguments to IN
Cause: In a test for set membership such as X IN (Y, Z), the expressions X, Y, and
Z do not match in datatype, and it is unclear which implicit conversion is required
to correct the mismatch.
Action: Change the expressions so that their datatypes match. You might want to
use datatype conversion functions.
PLS-00398: wrong number of columns in UNION, INTERSECT, or MINUS
expression
52-30 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The SELECT clauses to the left and right of a UNION, INTERSECT, or
MINUS expression do not select the same number of columns. For example, the
following statement is faulty because the select lists do not contain the same
number of items: CURSOR my_cur IS SELECT ename FROM emp INTERSECT
SELECT ename, empno FROM emp;
Action: Change the select lists so that they contain the same number of items.
PLS-00399: different types of columns in UNION, INTERSECT, or MINUS
expression
Cause: The select lists to the left and right of a UNION, INTERSECT, or MINUS
expression select at least one column that is mismatched in datatype. For example,
the following statement is faulty because the constant 3 has datatype NUMBER,
whereas SYSDATE has datatype DATE: CURSOR my_cur IS SELECT 3 FROM
emp INTERSECT SELECT SYSDATE FROM emp;
Action: Change the select lists so that they match in datatype. You might want to
use datatype conversion functions in the select list of one or more queries.
PLS-00400: different number of columns between cursor SELECT statement and
return value
Cause: In a cursor declaration, a return type (such as RETURN emp%ROWTYPE)
was specified, but the number of returned column values does not match the
number of select-list items.
Action: Change the cursor return type or the select list so that the number of
returned column values matches the number of select-list items.
PLS-00401: different column types between cursor SELECT statement and return
value found at 'string'
Cause: In a cursor declaration, a return type (such as RETURN emp%ROWTYPE)
was specified, but a returned column value and its corresponding select-list item
have different datatypes.
Action: Change the cursor return type or the select list so that each returned
column value and its corresponding select-list item have the same datatype.
PLS-00402: alias required in SELECT list of cursor to avoid duplicate column names
Cause: A cursor was declared with a SELECT statement that contains duplicate
column names. Such references are ambiguous.
Action: Replace the duplicate column name in the select list with an alias.
PLS-00403: expression 'string' cannot be used as an INTO-target of a
SELECT/FETCH statement
Cause: A FETCH statement was unable to assign a value to an assignment target
in its INTO list because the target is not a legally formed and declared variable.
For example, the following assignment is illegal because 'Jones' is a character
string, not a variable: FETCH my_cur INTO 'Jones';
Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the assignment target. Make sure
that the rules for forming variable names are followed.
PLS-00404: cursor 'string' must be declared with FOR UPDATE to use with
CURRENT OF
Cause: The use of the CURRENT OF cursor_name clause is legal only if cursor_
name was declared with a FOR UPDATE clause.
Action: Add a FOR UPDATE clause to the definition of the cursor or do not use
the CURRENT OF cursor_name clause.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-31
PLS-00405: subquery not allowed in this context
Cause: A subquery was used in an inappropriate context, such as: if (SELECT
deptno FROM emp WHERE … ) = 20 then … Subqueries are allowed only in SQL
statements.
Action: The same result can be obtained by using a temporary variable, as in:
SELECT deptno INTO temp_var FROM emp WHERE …; IF temp_var = 20 THEN
…
PLS-00406: length of SELECT list in subquery must match number of assignment
targets
Cause: A query select list is not the same length as the list of targets that will
receive the returned values. For example, the following statement is faulty because
the subquery returns two values for one target: UPDATE emp SET ename =
(SELECT ename, empno FROM emp WHERE ename = 'SMITH') …
Action: Change one of the lists so that they contain the same number of items.
PLS-00407: '*' not allowed here; a list of columns is required
Cause: An asterisk (*) was used as an abbreviation for a list of column names.
However, in this context the column names must be written out explicitly.
Action: Replace the asterisk with a list of column names.
PLS-00408: duplicate column 'string' not permitted in INSERT or UPDATE
Cause: An UPDATE or INSERT statement has a column list that contains
duplicate column names.
Action: Check the spelling of the column names, then eliminate the duplication.
PLS-00409: duplicate variable 'string' in INTO list is not permitted
Cause: The same variable appears twice in the INTO list of a SELECT or FETCH
statement.
Action: Remove one of the variables from the INTO list.
PLS-00410: duplicate fields in RECORD,TABLE or argument list are not permitted
Cause: When a user-defined record was declared, the same name was given to
two fields. Like column names in a database table, field names in a user-defined
record must be unique.
Action: Check the spelling of the field names, then remove the duplicate.
PLS-00411: Number of values in aggregate and in subquery don't match
Cause: In a statement of the form aggregate = subquery, the numbers of values in
the aggregate and subquery are unequal. For example, the code might look like …
WHERE (10,20,30) = (SELECT empno,deptno FROM emp WHERE…);
Action: Revise the aggregate or subquery so that the numbers of values match.
PLS-00412: list of values not allowed as argument to this function or procedure
Cause: A parenthesized list of values separated by commas (that is, an aggregate)
was used in the wrong context. For example, the following usage is invalid:
WHERE (col1, col2) > (SELECT col3, col4 FROM my_table …) However, an equal
sign can take a list of values and a subquery as left- and right-hand-side
arguments, respectively. So, the following usage is valid: WHERE (col1, col2) =
(SELECT col3, col4 FROM my_table …)
52-32 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Rewrite the expression. For example, the clause WHERE (col1, col2) >
(SELECT col3, col4 FROM my_table …) can be rewritten as WHERE col1 >
(SELECT col3 FROM my_table …) AND col2 > (SELECT col4 FROM my_table …)
PLS-00413: identifier in CURRENT OF clause is not a cursor name
Cause: The identifier in a CURRENT OF clause names an object other than a
cursor.
Action: Check the spelling of the identifier. Make sure that it names the cursor in
the DELETE or UPDATE statement and that it names the cursor itself, not a
FOR-loop variable.
PLS-00414: no column 'string' in table
Cause: A table name or alias was used to qualify a column reference, but the
column was not found in that table. Either the column was never defined or the
column name is misspelled.
Action: Confirm that the column was defined and check the spelling of the
column name.
PLS-00415: 'string' is an OUT parameter and cannot appear in a function
Cause: An OUT or IN OUT formal parameter was used in a function specification.
Action: None
PLS-00416: The third argument of DECODE cannot be NULL
Cause: The third argument of DECODE is NULL.
Action: Enter an argument with a proper type and value.
PLS-00417: unable to resolve "string" as a column
Cause: A database table, view, or column was specified in a SQL statement that
does not exist, or the privileges required to access the table or view were not
granted.
Action: Check the spelling of the table (or view) and column names; make sure
the table and columns exist. If necessary, ask the DBA to grant the privileges
required to access the table.
PLS-00418: array bind type must match PL/SQL table row type
Cause: A host array was passed (by an Oracle Precompiler program, for example)
to a PL/SQL subprogram for binding to a PL/SQL table parameter. However, the
datatypes of the array elements and PL/SQL table rows are incompatible. So, the
binding failed.
Action: Change the datatype of the array elements or PL/SQL table rows to make
the datatypes compatible.
PLS-00419: reference to remote attribute not permitted
Cause: An attempt was made to reference a remote cursor attribute, which is not
allowed. For example, the code might look like IF SQL%NOTFOUND@newyork
THEN …
Action: Do not try to reference a remote cursor attribute.
PLS-00420: can't call builtin routines remotely
Cause: An attempt was made to call a built-in PL/SQL function remotely, which
is not allowed. For example, the code might look like my_sqlerrm :=
SQLERRM@newyork; or INSERT INTO emp VALUES (my_empno,
STANDARD.RTRIM@newyork(my_ename), …);
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-33
Action: Always call built-in functions locally; never specify a database link.
PLS-00421: circular synonym 'string'
Cause: Directly or indirectly, a synonym was defined in terms of itself, creating a
circular definition.
Action: Redefine the synonyms to eliminate the circular definition.
PLS-00422: no PL/SQL translation for the bindtype given for this bind variable
Cause: A host variable was passed (by an Oracle Precompiler program, for
example) to PL/SQL for binding. However, its datatype is not compatible with
any PL/SQL datatype. So, the binding failed.
Action: Change the datatype of the host variable to make it compatible with a
PL/SQL datatype.
PLS-00423: ORDER BY item must be the number of a SELECT-list expression
Cause: A column alias was used in the ORDER BY clause of a SELECT statement
that uses a UNION, INTERSECT, or MINUS set operator. This is not allowed. In
such cases, expressions in the ORDER BY clause must be unsigned integers that
designate the ordinal positions of select-list items.
Action: Change the alias in the ORDER BY clause to an unsigned integer that
designates the ordinal position of the select item in question.
PLS-00424: RPC defaults cannot include Package State
Cause: An attempt was made to call a remote subprogram whose defaulted
parameters depend on package state, which is not allowed. When calling remote
subprograms, the actual parameters must be passed explicitly if the corresponding
formal parameters depend on package state.
Action: Call the remote subprogram by passing each actual parameter explicitly.
PLS-00425: in SQL, function argument and return types must be SQL type
Cause: When a cursor variable was declared as the formal parameter of a
Action: Change the parameter mode from OUT to IN or IN OUT.
PLS-00427: RPC defaults cannot use builtins when versions of STANDARD differ
Cause: An attempt was made to call a remote subprogram whose defaulted
parameter value is calculated using a builtin operation. If the calling system uses a
different version of package STANDARD than does the called system, a defaulted
expression must be either a simple numeric or string literal, NULL, or a direct call
to a user-written function.
Action: Call the remote subprogram by passing each actual parameter value
explicitly.
PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement
Cause: The INTO clause of a SELECT INTO statement was omitted. For example,
the code might look like SELECT deptno, dname, loc FROM dept WHERE …
instead of SELECT deptno, dname, loc INTO dept_rec FROM dept WHERE … In
PL/SQL, only a subquery is written without an INTO clause.
Action: Add the required INTO clause.
PLS-00429: unsupported feature with RETURNING clause
Cause:
- INTO clause and RETURNING clause cannot be use in the same statement
52-34 Oracle Database Error Messages
- RETURNING clause is currently not supported for object type columns, LONG
columns, records, %rowtypes, remote tables and INSERT with subquery. This is as
ORA-28815.
Action: Use separate select statement to get the values.
PLS-00430: FORALL iteration variable string is not allowed in this context
Cause: FORALL iteration variable can only be used as a subscript. It cannot be
used directly or as a part of an expression.
Action: Use FORALL variable only as a collection subscript.
PLS-00431: bulk SQL attributes must use a single index
Cause: More than one index specified to access SQL bulk attribute.
Action: Use a single index of integer datatype.
PLS-00432: implementation restriction: cannot use FORALL and BULK COLLECT
INTO together in SELECT statements
Cause: SELECT statement contains both the FORALL and BULK COLLECT INTO
phrases.
Action: Dn not use FORALL and BULK COLLECT INTO together in SELECT
statements.
PLS-00433: inconsistent package STANDARD
Cause: PL/SQL compiler could not find the entries (such as type declarations)
that should exist in the package STANDARD.
Action: Make sure that the correct version of package STANDARD is available in
the current Oracle database, then retry compilation.
PLS-00434: record field has unsupported type: "string"
Cause: An attempt was made to use an unsupported type for a record field. In
this release, the use of the SQL92 datetime types (time, timestamp, time with time
zone, timestamp with time zone, interval year to month, interval day to second)
are not supported in record fields.
Action: Use only supported types for record fields.
PLS-00435: DML statement without BULK In-BIND cannot be used inside FORALL
Cause: The DML (SELECT/INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE) statement inside the
FORALL statement does not contain BULK IN-BIND variables.
Action: The DML (SELECT/INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE) statement inside the
FORALL statement must contain BULK IN-BIND variables.
PLS-00436: implementation restriction: cannot reference fields of BULK In-BIND
table of records or objects
Cause: table(bulk_index).field is not supported at run-time.
Action: Use FOR loop with instead of the FORALL DML statement
(MERGE/INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE).
PLS-00437: FORALL bulk index cannot be used in string clause
Cause: RETURNING table(bulk_index) is not supported.
Action: Use RETURNING BULK COLLECT instead
PLS-00438: value in LIMIT clause: 'string' use is invalid
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-35
Cause: The evaluation value in the LIMIT clause of a bulk fetch was found in an
inappropriate context. For example, the following statement is illegal because the
LIMIT clause in a bulk fetch expects a numeric value. FETCH c1 BULK COLLECT
INTO var_tab LIMIT '22333'; -- illegal
Action: Change the expression of the LIMIT clause so that the evaluation result is
compatible to a numeric value.
PLS-00439: A LIMIT clause must be used within a BULK FETCH
Cause: A LIMIT clause is used within a non-bulk fetch
Action: Do not use a LIMIT clause when a non-bulk fetch is used.
PLS-00440: FORALL bulk IN-bind variables cannot be used here
Cause: A reference to a FORALL statement's bulk IN-bind variable was found in a
context in which it is not permitted. For example, such variables are not permitted
in expressions in the USING clause of a dynamic SQL statement: forall j in
1..Users.Count() execute immediate ' insert into System_Users(Username) values
:U' using Upper(Users(j));
Action: In the case described above, move the expression from the USING clause
into the SQL statement: forall j in 1..Users.Count() execute immediate ' insert into
System_Users(Username) values Upper(:U)' using Users(j);
PLS-00441: EXIT/CONTINUE statement may have a label here; 'string' is not a label
Cause: The specified name was not a label. An EXIT or CONTINUE statement
does not require a label, but when the optional name appears, it must be a label.
Action: Check the spelling of the name. Make sure that the name is the label of a
loop in which the EXIT or CONTINUE statement is nested. If a label is not needed
for this statement, delete the name.
PLS-00442: CONTINUE statement may not have the prefix STANDARD
Cause: The procedure CONTINUE appears in STANDARD but that procedure
may not be called either with its name alone or with the prefix STANDARD. It
exists only to help in analysis of the CONTINUE statement.
Action: If a CONTINUE statement is intended, remove the prefix. If some other
procedure was intended, check the spelling of the prefix and of the procedure
name.
PLS-00450: a variable of this private type cannot be declared here
Cause: A variable declaration uses a type that is declared PRIVATE in some other
compilation unit.
Action: Do not use this type in a PRIVATE variable declaration.
PLS-00452: Subprogram 'string' violates its associated pragma
Cause: A packaged function cannot be called from SQL statements unless its
purity level is asserted by coding a RESTRICT_REFERENCES pragma in the
package specification. The pragma, which is used to control side effects, tells the
PL/SQL compiler to deny the packaged function read/write access to database
tables, public packaged variables, or both. A SQL statement that violates the
pragma will cause a compilation error.
Action: Raise the purity level of the function, or relax the pragma restrictions.
PLS-00453: remote operations not permitted on object tables or user-defined type
columns
52-36 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: A reference to a remote object tables or user-defined type column was
found.
Action: Do not refer to it.
PLS-00454: with a returning into clause, the table expression cannot be remote or a
subquery
Cause: A reference to a remote table or subquery was found in a sql statement
with a returning into clause.
Action: Do not refer to it, or do use a subsequent select statement.
PLS-00455: cursor 'string' cannot be used in dynamic SQL OPEN statement
Cause: dynamicly OPEN a REF CURSOR that has RETURN type. However, only
REF CURSOR without RETURN type can be OPEN'ed by an embebded dynamic
OPEN statement.
Action: define a REF CURSOR without return type, and use it in the statement.
PLS-00456: item 'string' is not a cursor
Cause: the given variable is not a cursor and therefore cannot be OPEN'ed or
FETCH'ed from.
Action: check the spelling and declaration for the given variable.
PLS-00457: expressions have to be of SQL types
Cause: an expression of wrong type is in USING or dynamic RETURNING clause.
In USING or dynamic RETURNING clause, an expression cannot be of non-SQL
types such as BOOLEAN, INDEX TABLE, and record.
Action: change the expression type to a SQL type.
PLS-00458: subprogram 'string' cannot be called from a REPEATABLE subprogram
Cause: The subprogram is not REPEATABLE and cannot be called from a
REPEATABLE subprogram.
Action: delete the call or delete REPEATABLE.
PLS-00459: this feature is not allowed in REPEATABLE subprogram
Cause: Having one of the followings feature in the REPEATABLE subprogram:
dynamic SQL statements or autonomous transaction.
Action: delete the statements or delete REPEATABLE.
PLS-00460: REPEATABLE subprogram 'string' has to be RNDS, WNDS, RNPS, and
WNPS
Cause: Repeatable subprogram can neither read database state (RNDS), write
database state (WNDS), read package state (RNPS), nor write package state
(WNPS).
Action: make the subprogram to be RNDS, WNDS, RNPS, and WNPS or delete
REPEATABLE
PLS-00461: mismatch REPEATABLE information between specification and body of
'string'
Cause: REPEATABLE is declared at the subprogram's specification, but not at its
body, or vice versa.
Action: make sure both specification and body are declared as REPEATABLE
PLS-00462: nested subprogram 'string' has to be REPEATABLE
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-37
Cause: the nested subprogram of a REPEATABLE subprogram is not declared as
REPEATABLE. If a subprogram is REPEATABLE, all of its nested subprograms has
to be declared as REPEATABLE.
Action: declared the nested subprogram as REPEATABLE
PLS-00483: exception 'string' may appear in at most one exception handler in this
block
Cause: An exception appears in two different WHEN clauses (that is, two
different exception handlers) in the exception-handling part of a PL/SQL block or
subprogram.
Action: Remove one of the references to the exception.
PLS-00484: redundant exceptions 'string' and 'string' must appear in same exception
handler
Cause: Using the EXCEPTION_INIT pragma, different exceptions were initialized
to the same Oracle error number; then, they were referenced in different exception
handlers within the same exception-handling part. Such references conflict.
Action: Remove one of the exceptions or initialize it to a different Oracle error
number.
PLS-00485: in exception handler, 'string' must be an exception name
Cause: An identifier not declared as an exception appears in an exception handler
WHEN clause. Only the name of an exception is valid in a WHEN clause.
Action: Check the spelling of the exception name and make sure the exception
was declared properly.
PLS-00486: select list cannot be enclosed in parentheses
Cause: In a SELECT statement, the select list was enclosed in parentheses, as in:
SELECT (deptno, dname, loc) FROM dept INTO … This breaks the rules of SQL
syntax. Parentheses are not required because the keywords SELECT and FROM
delimit the select list.
Action: Remove the parentheses enclosing the select list.
PLS-00487: Invalid reference to variable 'string'
Cause: A variable was referenced in a way that is inconsistent with its datatype.
For example, a scalar variable might have been mistakenly referenced as a record,
as follows: DECLARE CURSOR emp_cur IS SELECT empno, ename, sal FROM
emp; emp_rec emp_cur%ROWTYPE; my_sal NUMBER(7,2); BEGIN … total_sal :=
total_sal + my_sal.sal; -- invalid …
Action: Check the spelling of the variable name. Make sure the variable was
declared properly and that the declaration and reference are consistent regarding
datatype.
PLS-00488: 'string' must be a type
Cause: The datatype specifier in a declaration or expression does not designate a
legal type. For example, the %TYPE attribute might not have been added to a
declaration, as in DECLARE my_sal emp.sal%TYPE; my_ename emp.ename; --
missing %TYPE … When declaring a constant or variable, to provide the datatype
of a column automatically, use the %TYPE attribute. Likewise, when declaring a
record, to provide the datatypes of a row automatically, use the %ROWTYPE
attribute.
Action: Make sure the datatype specifier designates a legal type. Remember to
use the %TYPE and %ROWTYPE attributes when necessary.
52-38 Oracle Database Error Messages
PLS-00489: invalid table reference: 'string' must be a column in this expression
Cause: In a query, a select-list item refers to a table in the FROM clause but not to
a database column.
Action: Check the spelling of the column names, make sure each column in the
select list refers to a table in the FROM clause, then re-execute the query.
PLS-00490: illegal statement
Cause: A constant, variable, function call, or incomplete statement was used
where a statement was expected. For example, instead of calling a function from
an expression, it might have been called as a statement (as if it were a procedure).
Action: Check the statement, making sure that its commands, identifiers,
operators, delimiters, and terminator form a complete and valid PL/SQL
statement.
PLS-00491: numeric literal required
Cause: A constant or variable was used where a numeric literal is required. For
example, the code might look like my_ename VARCHAR2(max_len); instead of
my_ename VARCHAR2(15); When specifying the maximum length of a
VARCHAR2 variable, an integer literal must be used.
Action: Replace the identifier with a numeric literal.
PLS-00492: variable or constant initialization may not refer to functions declared in
the same package
Cause: If a package spec p declares a function f, that function may not be used in
any variable declarations in that same package spec. This is because of a circular
instantiation problem: in order to fully instantiate the package spec, the variable
must be initialized. To initialize the variable, the function body code in the
package body must be executed. That requires that the package body be
instantiated. However, the package body cannot be instantiated until the package
spec is fully instantiated.
Action: Remove the reference to the function from the variable initialization. A
technique which often works is to move the variable initialization from the
variable declaration (in the package spec) to the package body initialization block.
PLS-00493: invalid reference to a server-side object or function in a local context
Cause: A reference to a server-side object (e.g. a table column) or function (a
group function such as SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX, … ) was found in a context where
only PL/SQL objects may be present (such as within the parameter list of a local
function or as the index of a (local) PL/SQL table.)
Action: Rewrite the offending statement; or (if a local function call is the problem
context), make the function non-local (either packaged or top- level.)
PLS-00494: coercion into multiple record targets not supported
Cause: The INTO list of a SELECT or FETCH specified more than a single recordtype target and the column types required coercion into
INTO list. This is type checked as correct, but not yet supported.
Action: Create a new record type to hold all of the column types or code the
SELECT with an INTO target for every source column.
PLS-00495: too many columns in SELECT…INTO statement after bursting record
targets
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-39
Cause: Type checking indicated the columns in a SELECT or FETCH were being
collected into a record in the INTO list. The record was burst into its fields. There
were not enough fields in the record for each of the columns.
Action: Change the number of columns or the record variable(s) in the INTO
clause so that they match.
PLS-00496: too few columns in SELECT…INTO statement after bursting record
targets
Cause: Type checking indicated the columns in a SELECT or FETCH were being
collected into a record in the INTO list. The record was burst into its fields. There
were not enough columns to fill all of the fields in the record.
Action: Change the number of columns or the record variable(s) in the INTO
clause so that they match.
PLS-00497: cannot mix between single row and multi-row (BULK) in INTO list
Cause: - When BULK syntax (e.g. BULK COLLECT INTO) is used to retrieve data,
every variable in the INTO list has to be of type that is a collection of the type of
the corresponding column.
- When BULK is NOT used, every variable in the INTO list has to be of compatible
type with the corresponding column.
Action: Change the INTO list so that all variables have correct data types
PLS-00498: illegal use of a type before its declaration
Cause: A variable or constant was declared to be of a type whose declaration
appears later in the compilation unit; or, a type or subtype was declared in terms
of another type whose declaration appears later in the compilation unit.
Action: Ensure that the type declaration preceeds its use in the variable/
constant/type declaration.
PLS-00499: coercion into collection of records not supported
Cause: A SELECT or FETCH may specify a column list to be coerced into a
variable which is a collection of records. This is type checked as correct, but not yet
supported because of the implicit layout change required.
Action: Express the SELECT with an object constructor around the columns and
use a collection of objects as an INTO variable. Or, build the collection one row at a
time coercing each row into a record which happens to be an element. Or, use a
record of collections.
PLS-00500: invalid operator binding
Cause: An operator binding fucntion cannot be found in the specified scope.
Action: Provide the correct number and types of parameters for the operator
binding fucntion. Or, specify the correct names for schema, package, or type
containing the operator binding fucntion.
PLS-00503: RETURN
Cause: In a function body, a RETURN statement was used that contains no
expression. In procedures, a RETURN statement contains no expression because
the statement simply returns control to the caller. However, in functions, a
RETURN statement must contain an expression because its value is assigned to the
function identifier.
Action: Add an expression to the RETURN statement.
PLS-00504: type string_BASE may not be used outside of package STANDARD
52-40 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: In a declaration, the datatype NUMBER_BASE (for example) was
mistakenly specified. The datatypes CHAR_BASE, DATE_BASE, MLSLABEL_
BASE, and NUMBER_BASE are for internal use only.
Action: Specify (for example) the datatype NUMBER instead of NUMBER_BASE.
PLS-00505: User Defined Types may only be defined as PLSQL Tables or Records
Cause: An attempt was made to define a type other than TABLE or RECORD, but
these are the only user- defined types allowed in this release of PL/SQL. For
example, the following type definition is illegal: TYPE Byte IS INTEGER(2); --
illegal
Action: Remove the type definition, or revise it to specify a TABLE or RECORD
type.
PLS-00506: User Defined Constrained Subtypes are disallowed
Cause: An attempt was made to define a constrained subtype, but only
unconstrained subtypes are allowed in this release of PL/SQL. For example, the
following type definition is illegal: SUBTYPE Acronym IS VARCHAR2(5); -- illegal
Action: Remove the illegal type constraint.
PLS-00507: a PLSQL Table may not contain a table or a record with composite fields
Cause: In a TABLE type definition, a nested record type was specified as the
element type. This is not allowed. All fields in the record must be scalars.
Action: Remove the TABLE type definition, or replace the nested record type with
a simple record type.
PLS-00508: The expression in a RETURN statement cannot be a type
Cause: A datatype specifier was used instead of an expression in the RETURN
statement of a user-defined function, as shown in the example below. Do not
confuse the RETURN statement, which sets the function identifier to the result
value, with the RETURN clause, which specifies the datatype of the result value.
FUNCTION credit-rating (acct_no NUMBER) RETURN BOOLEAN IS BEGIN …
RETURN NUMBER; -- should be an expression END;
Action: Replace the datatype specifier in the RETURN statement with an
appropriate expression.
PLS-00509: Implementation Restriction : Pass a returned record to a temporary
identifier before selecting a field
Cause: Illegal syntax was used to call a parameter-less function that returns a
record or a PL/SQL table of records. When calling a function that takes parameters
and returns a record, you use the following syntax to reference fields in the record:
function_name(parameters).field_name However, you cannot use the syntax
above to call a parameter-less function because PL/SQL does not allow empty
parameter lists. That is, the following syntax is illegal: function_name().field_name
-- illegal; empty parameter list You cannot just drop the empty parameter list
because the following syntax is also illegal: function_name.field_name -- illegal; no
parameter list.
Action: Declare a local record or PL/SQL table of records to which you can assign
the function result, then reference its fields directly.
PLS-00510: Float cannot have scale
Cause: When a FLOAT variable was declared, its precision and scale were
specified, as shown in the following example: DECLARE Salary FLOAT(7,2);
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-41
However, a scale for FLOAT variables cannot be specified; only a precision can be
specified, as in salary FLOAT(7);
Action: Remove the scale specifier from the declaration, or declare a NUMBER
variable instead.
PLS-00511: a record may not contain a PL/SQL table of records
Cause: n a RECORD definition, one of the fields was declared as a PL/SQL table
of records. This is not allowed. A record can be the component of another record
(that is, records can be nested), but a PL/SQL table of records cannot be the
component of a record.
Action: Remove the field declaration, or revise it to specify a simple record type.
PLS-00512: Implementation Restriction: 'string': Cannot directly access remote
package variable or cursor
Cause: An attempt was made to reference a remote packaged variable or cursor.
This is not allowed. Instead, add to the remote package a function that returns the
value of the variable or cursor.
Action: Remove the illegal reference.
PLS-00513: PL/SQL function called from SQL must return value of legal SQL type
Cause: In a SQL statement, do not call a PL/SQL function having a return type
that can not be handled by SQL. For example, type BOOLIAN, records and
indexed-tables are not supported by SQL and functions returneing such values can
not be called from SQL.
Action: None
PLS-00514: INSERT statement with REF INTO clause requires a typed table
Cause: This INSERT statement provides REF INTO clause, which is only legal
when the table specified in the INTO clause is an object table.
Action: None
PLS-00515: The type of the REF INTO variable 'string' must be REF to the table's
type
Cause: In INSERT statement with REF INTO clause, the type of the data item
must be REF to the type of the table used in INTO clause.
Action: None
PLS-00516: Type mismatch between object table and value 'string' in INSERT
statement.
Cause: In the INSERT statement operating on typed tables (tables of objects), the
type of a non-aggregate value did not match the object type of the table.
Action: None
PLS-00517: Type mismatch between a select list element 'string' and corresponding
table column in INSERT statement with a subquery
Cause: In an INSERT statement with subquery, at lease one of the elements of the
select list was not type-compatible with the corresponding column of the table in
the INTO clause. This error indicates that the subquery should be rewritten to
match the structure of the target table.
Action: None
PLS-00518: This INSERT statement requires VALUES clause containing a
parenthesised list of values
52-42 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: A VALUES clause was entered without a list of SQL data items in
parentheses. In all INSERT statements with an explicit column list, the VALUES
clause must contain a list of SQL data items in parentheses. For example: INSERT
INTO my_tab (a,b,c) VALUES (1,2,my_variable);
Action: Rewrite the statement to include a list of SQL data items in parentheses.
PLS-00519: This INSERT statement requires a VALUES clause containing an object
type expression, not a list of values
Cause: In an INSERT statement with typed tables, an aggregate was used when
an object type item was expected.
Action: Replace the aggregate with an object constructor or other object type
expression.
PLS-00520: MAP methods must be declared without any parameters other than
(optional) SELF.
Cause: A MAP member function was declared with a parameter. Map member
functions can have only one parameter: the default SELF parameter. Map methods
must be declared without any parameters. The compiler adds the SELF parameter.
Action: Remove the parameter from the map member function.
PLS-00521: ORDER methods must be declared with 1 (one) parameter in addition to
(optional) SELF.
Cause: An order member function was declared without the user-specified
parameter. Order member functions have two parameters, one is the default SELF
parameter which is added by the compiler. the second parameter is added by the
user and must declare an order method which must be the same type as the
containing object type.
Action: Check and correct the way the parameter is specified.
PLS-00522: MAP methods must return a scalar type.
Cause: The MAP member function was written such that it returns something
other than a scalar type.
Action: Rewrite the MAP function such that it returns a scalar type.
PLS-00523: ORDER methods must return an INTEGER.
Cause: An order member function was written such that it returns something
other than an integer type.
Action: Rewrite the ORDER method such that it returns an integer type.
PLS-00524: The parameter type in an ORDER method must be the containing object
type.
Cause: An order member function was declared without the user- specified
parameter. Order member functions have two parameters, one is the default SELF
parameter which is added by the compiler. the second parameter is added by the
user and must declare an order method which must be the same type as the
containing object type.
Action: Check and correct the way the parameter is specified.
PLS-00525: Within SQL statements, only equality comparisons of objects are
allowed without a map or order function.
Cause: A map or order function was not provided for a relational comparison.
Only equality comparisons may be used when a map or order function is not
supplied.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-43
Action: Supply either a map or order function for the object. Otherwise change
the program to use only equality comparisons.
PLS-00526: A MAP or ORDER function is required for comparing objects in
PL/SQL.
Cause: Within stand alone PL/SQL, an attempt was made to compare objects
without a map or order function.
Action: Provide a map or order function and retry the operation.
PLS-00527: MAP or ORDER functions require a PRAGMA RESTRICT_
REFERENCES specifying :WNDS,WNPS,RNPS,RNDS.
Cause: Either a PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES was not specified or it was
specified without one of the following: WNDS, WNPS, RNPS, or RNDS.
Action: Add or correct the PRAGMA and retry the operation.
PLS-00528: The parameters to an ORDER function must have IN mode
Cause: You declared parameter to an ORDER function to have OUT or IN OUT
mode.
Action: Correct the parameter to use IN mode only.
PLS-00529: Bad column name string in INSERT statement (must be an identifier)
Cause: In an INSERT statement, an attempt was made to use a column name that
is not an identifier. In any INSERT statement with explicit column list a column
name must be a simple identifier.
Action: Rewrite the INSERT statement, using a simple identifier for the column
name.
PLS-00530: Illegal type used for object type attribute: 'string'.
Cause: An attempt was made to use an invalid type for an object type attribute.
Action: Use only supported types for the object type attribute.
PLS-00531: Unsupported type in a VARRAY or TABLE type: 'string'.
Cause: An attempt was made to use an unsupported type in a VARRAY or TABLE
type.
Action: Use only supported types in a VARRAY or TABLE type.
PLS-00532: Target of REF must be a complete or incomplete object type.
Cause: The target of a REF can only be a complete or an incomplete object type.
Action: If a REF is to be used, change the type; otherwise, remove the REF.
PLS-00533: Tables of non_queryable types are not supported.
Cause: An attempt was made to create a table of a type which cannot be queried.
Tables of such types are not supported.
Action: Create an object type containing the non-queryable type. Then create a
table of the object type.
PLS-00534: A Table type may not contain a nested table type or VARRAY.
Cause: An attempt was made to do one of the following: define a table type which
contained nested collection types. or define an object table that has (perhaps
nested) another table type or VARRAY type.
Action: Check the table definitions to be sure that they do not contain nested
tables or VARRAYs.
52-44 Oracle Database Error Messages
PLS-00535: A VARRAY type may not contain a NESTED TABLE, VARRAY or LOB
Cause: An attempt was made to do one of the following: define a VARRAY type
containing a nested collection type or LOB or define a VARRAY type of an object
type that has a nested attribute which is one of NESTED TABLE, VARRAY or LOB
type.
Action: Check the VARRAY definitions to be sure that they do not contain nested
colection types, LOBs or nested attributes.
PLS-00536: Navigation through REF variables is not supported in PL/SQL.
Cause: The expression of the form refvar.field was entered. This is not supported
in PL/SQL, ver 8.0.
Action: None
PLS-00537: A VARRAY must have a positive limit
Cause: A VARRAY type was declared with a non-positive limit, for example
VARRAY(0).
Action: Declare the VARRAY with a positive limit and retry the operation.
PLS-00538: subprogram or cursor 'string' is declared in an object type specification
and must be defined in the object type body
Cause: The specified subprogram is declared in an object type's specification, but
is not defined in the object type body.
Action: Define the subprogram in the object type body, or remove the declaration
from the specification.
PLS-00539: subprogram 'string' is declared in an object type body and must be
defined in the object type specification
Cause: The specified subprogram is declared in an object type's body, but is not
defined in the object type's specification. Notice cursor bodies can exist without a
specification.
Action: Define the subprogram in the object type's specification, or remove the
declaration from the body.
PLS-00540: object not supported in this context.
Cause: An object was declared inside a local scope (Function, Procedure, or
anonymous block), or in a package scope which is not supported.
Action: Declare the type in a global or data base scope.
PLS-00541: size or length specified is too large.
Cause: A length or size that is too large was specified for a data item.
Action: Specify a smaller value and retry the operation.
PLS-00542: CLOB and NCLOB cannot use varying-width character sets in the server
Cause: A server type is being created with an embedded CLOB or NCLOB
atttribute which uses a varying-width character set.
Action: Use VARCHAR2 instead of CLOB, or use a fixed-width character set.
PLS-00543: a PLSQL Table may not contain a nested table type or VARRAY.
Cause: An attempt was made to define a PLSQL table that contained a (possibly
deeply) nested table type or VARRAY. Nested collection types are not supported.
Action: Remove the nested table type or VARRAY from the table. Then retry the
operation.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-45
PLS-00546: SELF may not be declared as a REF parameter.
Cause: SELF was declared as a ref parameter to a member function or procedure.
SELF is not supported as a REF.
Action: Redeclare SELF as a value parameter.
PLS-00548: invalid use of operator.
Cause: A name of an operator is used as a qualifier or appears outside from sql
context.
Action: Eliminate the use of operator name as a qualifier or place it in a sql clause.
PLS-00550: character set specification is not allowed for this type
Cause: A character set specification was made on a type that does not require one.
Action: Remove the character set specification, or change the type.
PLS-00551: character set ANY_CS is only allowed on a subprogram parameter
Cause: The character set ANY_CS was specified when it is not allowed.
Action: Change or remove the character set specification.
PLS-00552: flexible character set is not allowed on component element
Cause: ANY_CS or %CHARSET was used to reference an ANY_CS parameter
which is not a CHAR, VARCHAR2, or CLOB type. ANY_CS or %CHARSET is not
allowed for fields of a record , object, elements of a collection, etc.
Action: Change or remove the character set specification.
PLS-00553: character set name is not recognized
Cause: An unrecognized name appears in a character set specification.
Action: Change or remove the character set specification.
PLS-00554: character set has already been determined
Cause: A redundant or conflicting character set was specified.
Action: Remove the CHARACTER SET specification, or change the character set
specified.
PLS-00555: default expressions are not allowed for SQL operators
Cause: A default expression has been specified for a SQL operator.
Action: Eliminate the default expression from the operator.
PLS-00560: character set mismatch
Cause: An expression was used that has the wrong character set for this context.
Action: Adjust the expression, using TRANSLATE(… USING …) or by rethinking
the logic.
PLS-00561: character set mismatch on value for parameter 'string'
Cause: An expression was used that contains an incorrect character set. The actual
argument has a character set conflict. If a default argument value is being used, it
might be in conflict with some actual argument that must have the same character
set.
Action: Adjust the expression, using TRANSLATE(… USING …) or change the
character set.
PLS-00562: a function must return a type.
52-46 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The current function was definied to return something other than a data
type.
Action: Make sure the function is returning a data type.
PLS-00563: illegal use of CAST expression
Cause: CAST (in PLSQL) was used outside of a DML scope.
Action: Do not use CAST outside DML statements.
PLS-00564: lob arguments are not permitted in calls to remote server
Cause: use of lob argument in call to remote server
Action: Do not use LOBs in call to remote server
PLS-00565: string must be completed as a potential REF target (object type)
Cause: Incomplete library units that are potential targets of REF dependencies
must be completed so that they continue to remain potential targets of REF
dependencies (since there might be library units with REF dependencies on this
library unit). Potential REF targets include complete and incomplete object types.
This error happened because an attempt was made to complete a potential REF
target as something other than a potential REF target.
Action: Use another name for this library unit, or drop the original incomplete
library unit.
PLS-00566: type name "string" cannot be constrained
Cause: A lob, date, boolean, rowid, or mlslabel type was constrained with a
length specification. For example: X BLOB(5);
Action: Remove the constraint.
PLS-00567: cannot pass NULL to a NOT NULL constrained formal parameter
Cause: You attempted to pass NULL to a NOT NULL constrained parameter.
Action: Pass a NOT NULL expression instead.
PLS-00568: cannot access rows from a non-nested table item
Cause: You attempted to use TABLE expression, from a non-nested table
Action: pass the correct parameter
PLS-00569: numeric overflow or underflow
Cause: A constant literal is either too large or too small to fit in an Oracle number
Action: Change the value of the literal
PLS-00570: different number of columns in the multiset and cast expressions
Cause: Number of columns in the collection returned by MULTISET and the
number of columns for the CAST type don't match. For example: create type tab_
obj as object (n number); create type tab1 as table of tab_obj; create table tab2 (col1
number, col2 number); select CAST(MULTISET(select col1, col2 from tab2) as tab1)
from tab2;
Action: None
PLS-00571: method access through data base link not yet supported on client side
Cause: Remote link is used with on client side
Action: Create a dummy function to call symbolic link on server side or wiat till it
is implemented
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-47
PLS-00572: improper constraint form used
Cause: "number" types cannot have a range. user-defined aggregate types and
integer types cannot have scale or precision specified. Example: "x number(5,3)" is
acceptable but "x number range 1..10" is not.
Action: Remove the constraint
PLS-00573: cannot constrain scale, precision, or range of an anchored type
declaration
Cause: A variable declared with %TYPE or %ROWTYPE cannot have a scale,
precision, or range constraint. Example: x y%TYPE(10) is not acceptable. It is legal
to add "NOT NULL" or non-conflicting CHARACTER SET constraints to anchored
type declarations.
Action: Remove the constraint or use a type name instead of an anchored type.
PLS-00580: supertype must be an object type
Cause: An attempt was made to declare an object type to have a supertype, but
the specified supertype was not itself an object type. Object types can inherit only
from other object types.
Action: Remove the supertype specification, or change it to refer to an object type.
If the declaration appears correct, make sure the supertype has compiled correctly.
PLS-00581: inheritance is not supported for opaque types
Cause: An attempt was made to declare an opaque type with a supertype.
Action: Remove the supertype specification.
PLS-00582: attribute declarations are not allowed in opaque types
Cause: An attempt was made to declare an attribute in an opaque type.
Action: Remove the attribute declaration.
PLS-00583: size must be specified if opaque type is fixed-length
Cause: An attempt was made to declare a fixed-length opaque type without
specifying an explicit size.
Action: Specify an explicit size, or change the declaration to be varying-length.
PLS-00584: size of an opaque type must be between 1 and 4000 bytes
Cause: An attempt was made to specify an explicit size for an opaque type, but
the specified size was out of the valid range.
Action: Change the explicit size to be between 1 and 4000 bytes, or change the
declaration to be varying-length without an explicit size.
PLS-00585: declared support library for opaque type is not a library
Cause: An attempt was made to name a support library for an opaque type, but
the name refers to an object that is not a library.
Action: Change the declaration to name a valid library.
PLS-00586: a static method cannot declare a parameter named SELF
Cause: An attempt was made to name a parameter SELF when declaring a static
method. SELF is reserved as a parameter name in methods, to hold the object
instance on which the method is applied. A parameter named SELF is not allowed
in static methods because static methods do not apply to a particular object
instance.
Action: Change the name of the parameter in the declaration.
52-48 Oracle Database Error Messages
PLS-00587: a static method cannot be invoked on an instance value
Cause: An attempt was made to use an object instance value, not a typename, as
the qualifier of the name of a method invocation, but only a typename can be used
as the qualifier when calling a static method.
Action: Use the typename, not an object instance value, to qualify the name of a
method if the method is static.
PLS-00588: unqualified instance attribute references allowed only in member
methods
Cause: An attempt was made to use the name of an object instance attribute in the
body of a static method, or in an initialization default value on another attribute. If
the instance attribute is not qualified with a particular object instance that supplies
a value, the instance attribute can be named only when it is inside a member
method.
Action: Qualify the attribute reference with the name of an object value, or change
the containing method to a member method rather than a static method.
PLS-00589: no attributes found in object type "string"
Cause: Table of non adt type is defined.
Action: Table of type should be of ADT type only
PLS-00590: attempting to create a subtype UNDER a FINAL type
Cause: An attempt was made to create a subtype UNDER a FINAL type.
Action: Avoid deriving a subtype from this FINAL type.
PLS-00591: this feature is not supported in client-side programs
Cause: One of the following features was used in a wrong context: pragma
AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION, dynamic SQL statements, (e.g. EXECUTE
IMMEDIATE), and bulk binds. These listed features can only be used in
server-side programs but not client-side programs.
Action: Remove it or define a server-side subprogram to do the work and call the
subprogram from the client.
PLS-00592: the type of a object table must be an object type
Cause: You have defined a typed-table of a non-object type.
Action: Replace the non-object type with an object-type.
PLS-00593: default value of parameter "string" in body must match that of spec
Cause: The default value initialization of a parameter in a subprogram body
contained in a package body did not match that of the corresponding subprogram
specification in the corresponding package specification.
Action: Change the default initialization of the parameter in body to match that of
spec.
PLS-00594: the SELF parameter can be declared only as IN or as IN OUT
Cause: The SELF parameter was declared as an OUT parameter.
Action: Declare the SELF parameter as either an IN or an IN OUT parameter.
PLS-00595: the TABLE operator is not allowed in this context
Cause: This feature is not yet implemented.
Action: Don't use weak ref cursors with bulk binds.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-49
PLS-00597: expression 'string' in the INTO list is of wrong type
Cause: This exception is raised for the following errors:
- the expression in INTO clause of OPEN or RETURNING statement is neither of
legal SQL datatypes nor of PL/SQL RECORD datatype
- a collection of records is used in INTO clause of OPEN or RETURNING
statement.
- a record or a collection of records is used in BULK COLLECT INTO
Action: Use expression with correct datatype in the INTO clause
PLS-00598: comparison of object with NULL using "string" is not allowed
Cause: An object is compared with NULL using a relational operator.
Action: Use IS NULL comparison operator.
PLS-00599: SAMPLE percentage must be in the range [0.000001,100)
Cause: The percentage number is not in the range [0.000001,100)
Action: Use a percentage number in the range [0.000001,100)
PLS-00600: SAMPLE cannot be applied to a remote object
Cause: SAMPLE applying to a remote object is not supported
Action: Do not use SAMPLE with a remote object
PLS-00601: partition extended object names may only be used with tables
Cause: User attempted to use a partition-extended object name with an object
which is not a table.
Action: Avoid using partition-extended name syntax with objects which are not
tables
PLS-00602: CUBE and ROLLUP may appear only in a GROUP BY clause

implementation restriction.
Action: Change the design of code to not use any type with attribute whose type
is of subtype or REF to subtype.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-55
PLS-00649: method "string" can be overridden only once per object type
Cause: User tried to override the method more than once in the same subtype.
Action: Either make this an extra overload by removing the OVERRIDING
keyword where the method signature is different. The argument types should be
reconsidered otherwise.
PLS-00650: invalid type for PARTITION/CLUSTER/ORDER BY clause
Cause: Uer tried to use invalid type for PARTITION/CLUSTER?ORDER BY
clause.
Action: Use legal allowed types.
PLS-00651: implementation type in Aggregate/Table function should be a valid type

Action: Remove the NEW keyword, or make sure the expression following it is a
constructor call.
PLS-00664: Both ORDER BY and CLUSTER BY can not be specified for the same
table function
Cause: An attempt was made to specify both ORDER BY and CLUSTER BY for
the same table function.
Action: specify either ORDER BY or CLUSTER BY for a table function, but not
both.
PLS-00665: ORDER BY and CLUSTER BY clauses require a PARTITION BY clause
Cause: An attempt was made to specify an ORDER BY or CLUSTER BY clause
without also specifying a PARTITION BY clause.
Action: Add a PARTITION BY clause, or remove the ORDER BY or CLUSTER BY
clause.
PLS-00666: Only index by binary_integer/pls_integer associative arrays allowed
here
Cause: An attempt was made to specify index collection that was not indexed by
binary_integer or pls_integer.

Cause: An attempt was made to specify an expression as a sort column in a
PARTITION BY, CLUSTER BY or ORDER BY clause. Only simple column names
are permitted.
Action: Specify a simple column name.
PLS-00671: this expression is allowed only with instance methods
Cause: The generalized invocation syntax was used in instance method context.
Action: The generalized invocation syntax can only be used in a instance method
that is not a constructor
PLS-00672: The expression string should be a subtype of the type string
Cause: The expression in the generalized expression should be a sub type of the
type.
Action: The type of expression should be a subtype of the type name
PLS-00673: Generalized expression is not allowed in this context
Cause: The generalized expression is used in wrong context
Action: Fix the expression and remove the generalized expression syntax.
PLS-00674: references to fields of BULK In-BIND table of records or objects must
have the form A(I).F
Cause: The form table(bulk_index).field is the only field selection supported at
runtime.

triggers.
Action: Remove the offending sections.
PLS-00700: PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT of string must follow declaration of its
exception in the same declarative part
Cause: An EXCEPTION_INIT pragma was not declared in the same block as its
exception. They must be declared in the proper order in the same block, with the
pragma declaration following the exception declaration.
Action: Place the EXCEPTION_INIT pragma directly after the exception
declaration referenced by the pragma.
PLS-00701: illegal ORACLE error number string for PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT
Cause: The error number passed to an EXCEPTION_INIT pragma was out of
range. The error number must be in the range -9999 .. -1 (excluding -100) for Oracle
errors or in the range -20000 .. -20999 for user-defined errors.
Action: Use a valid error number.
PLS-00702: second argument to PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT must be a numeric
literal
Cause: The second argument passed to an EXCEPTION_INIT pragma was
something other than a numeric literal (a variable, for example). The second
argument must be a numeric literal in the range -9999 .. -1 (excluding -100) for
Oracle errors or in the range -20000 .. -20999 for user-defined errors.
Action: Replace the second argument with a valid error number.
PLS-00703: multiple instances of named argument in list
Cause: Two or more actual parameters in a subprogram call refer to the same
formal parameter.
Action: Remove the duplicate actual parameter.
PLS-00704: 'string' must be declared as an exception
Cause: The exception_name parameter passed to an EXCEPTION_INIT pragma is
misspelled or does not refer to a legally declared exception. Or, the pragma is
misplaced; it must appear in the same declarative section, somewhere after the
exception declaration.
Action: Check the spelling of the exception_name parameter. Then, check the
exception declaration, making sure the exception name and the keyword
EXCEPTION are spelled correctly. Also make sure the pragma appears in the same
declarative section somewhere after the exception declaration.
PLS-00705: exception 'string' used in expression requiring return type
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-59
Cause: An exception was referred to in an expression. Exceptions have names but
not values and therefore cannot contribute values to an expression. For example,
the following RETURN statement is illegal: FUNCTION credit_limit (cust_no
INTEGER) RETURN NUMBER IS limit NUMBER; over_limit EXCEPTION; …
BEGIN … RETURN over_limit; -- illegal END;
Action: Check the spelling of the identifiers in the expression, then rewrite the
expression so that it does not refer to an exception.
PLS-00706: Exception string cannot be used as prefix of a selected component
Cause: An exception name was mistakenly used to qualify a reference to a
component. For example, when dot notation was used to specify fields within a
record, an exception name might have been coded instead of the record name.
Action: Rewrite the component reference using a valid prefix (for example, the
name of a package, record, or schema).
PLS-00707: unsupported construct or internal error [string]
Cause: At run time, this is an internal error. At compile time, it indicates one of
the following problems: -- A call was made to a remote subprogram that has a
parameter type or default expression not supported at the calling site. -- An
incomplete upgrade or downgrade was done to a database that has stored
procedures. Perhaps incorrect versions of system packages such as
STANDARD.SQL were installed. -- A compiler bug was encountered. In such
cases, legal PL/SQL syntax will fail to compile.
Action: Either report the internal error to your Customer Support representative
or, depending on the problem, take one of the following actions: -- Revise the logic
of the application to use parameter types and default expressions that are
supported at both the local and remote sites. -- Complete the upgrade or
downgrade properly, making sure to install correct versions of all system
packages. -- Report the legal-syntax error to your Customer Support
representative. If there are line and column numbers displayed with the error
message, they might help you find a workaround. For example, try recoding the
offending line to avoid the bug.
PLS-00708: Pragma string must be declared in a package specification
Cause: The named pragma was not declared in a package specification, as
required. For example, the pragma RESTRICT_REFERENCES must be declared in
a package specification.
Action: Remove or relocate the misplaced pragma.
PLS-00709: pragma string must be declared in package specification and body
Cause: The named pragma was declared in a package specification but not in the
corresponding package body or vice-versa, as well as the package body.
Action: Add the pragma to that part of the package declaration that does not have
the pragma.
PLS-00710: Pragma string cannot be specified here
Cause: The pragma was specified in an inappropriate context.
Action: Remove or relocate the misplaced pragma. Check the documentation to
determine the correct context for this pragma.
PLS-00711: PRAGMA string cannot be declared twice
Cause: The PRAGMA was declared twice in the same block.
Action: remove the duplicate declaration of the PRAGMA
52-60 Oracle Database Error Messages
PLS-00712: illegal option for subprogram string
Cause: Only top level subprograms or subprogram declarations in PACKAGE or
TYPE specifications are allowed to have the options DETERMINISTIC or
PARALLEL_ENABLE. For example, this error would be raised if the options are
used in PACKAGE or TYPE body.
Action: remove the option.
PLS-00713: attempting to instantiate a type that is NOT INSTANTIABLE
Cause: An attempt was made to instantiate a type that is defined as NOT
INSTANTIABLE.
Action: Avoid instantiating variables of this NOT INSTANTIABLE type, instead
derive an INSTANTIABLE subtype from it and instantiate variables of the
subtype.
PLS-00714: supertypes's AUTHID is DEFINER but supertype and subtype are not
in same schema
Cause: The supertype's AUTHID is DEFINER, but the supertype and subtype are
defined in different schemas. SQL statements executed in dynamically dispatched
methods can potentially pick up different values from database tables in the two
schemas.
Action: Create the subtype in the same schema as the supertype.
PLS-00715: attribute or method by name 'string' does not exist
Cause: An attempt was made to drop a nonexistant method or attribute from the
type being altered.
Action: Check the spelling of the attribute or method name. Make sure it is locally
defined in the type and not inherited.
PLS-00716: Attribute/method 'string' can occur only once in an ALTER TYPE
statement
Cause: User attempted more than one of ADD, DROP or MODIFY on an attribute
in single ALTER TYPE statement. User attempted more than one of ADD or DROP
on a method in single ALTER TYPE statement.
Action: Do only one ADD, DROP or MODIFY for an attribute in single ALTER
TYPE statement. Do only one ADD or DROP for a method in single ALTER TYPE
statement.
PLS-00717: method 'string' does not have matching signature among existing
methods
Cause: The method to be dropped matches the name of some existing method but
does not match it in signature.
Action: Make sure that a matching method signature is provided for dropping a
method.
PLS-00718: type of attribute 'string' does not allow modifications to the attribute
Cause: The type of the attribute to modify is not one of VARCHAR2, NUMBER,
or RAW.
Action: Only VARCHAR2, NUMBER and RAW type attributes are allowed to be
modified.
PLS-00719: only widening of attribute 'string' constraints is allowed
Cause: Modification to the attribute did not widen its constraints or attempted to
change the type of the attribute. For NUMBER type attributes, scale and precision
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-61
can be changed to allow increase in number of digits after and before the decimal
point. For VARCHAR2 and RAW type attributes the size can be increased. Other
type attributes are not allowed to be modified. Change of type of attribute is also
not allowed.
Action: Change the constraint specification so as to widen the existing
constraints.To narrow the constraints or to change the type of the attribute, you
must drop the attribute and add it with new constraints or new type. In that case
you must also take appropriate steps to preserve your existing data based on the
type (if you want to preserve it).Typically this will involve backing up the data
and restoring it after the ALTER TYPE.
PLS-00720: type 'string' has evolved
Cause: The type has evolved. The version of the type used by the compiled code
is not the same as the latest version of the type.
Action: Recompile the code to use the latest version of the type.
PLS-00721: 'string' formed a non-REF mutually-dependent cycle with 'string'
Cause: This compilation was aborted because the library unit that was compiled
would have formed a non-REF mutually-dependent cycle with some other library
units. This happens when an attempt is made to compile types that have attributes
of other types that may participate in a cycle with this type. Example: create type
t1; create type t2 (a t1); create type t1 (a t2);
Action: Break the cycle (possibly by adding a REF or by using another type).
PLS-00722: supertypes's AUTHID is different than subtype's AUTHID
Cause: The subtype's's AUTHID must be same as the supertype's AUTHID.
Action: Create the subtype with AUTHID of its supertype or do not specify
AUTHID for subtype.
PLS-00725: type 'string' must be a supertype or subtype of the TREAT expression
Cause: In TREAT(
Action: None
PLS-00726: MODIFY ELEMENT is supported only on schema-level varray and
nested tables
Cause: An attempt was made to modify the limit of a type that was not a
schema-level varray and nested table type.
Action: This is not a legal ALTER TYPE command for this type.
PLS-00727: MODIFY LIMIT is supported only on schema-level varray types
Cause: An attempt was made to modify the limit of a type that was not a
schema-level varray type.
Action: This is not a legal ALTER TYPE command for this type.
PLS-00728: the limit of a VARRAY can only be increased and to a maximum
2147483647
Cause: An attempt was made to decrease the limit or raise it past 2147483647.
Action: This is not a legal limit for this type, change it.
PLS-00729: only widening of the collection element type is allowed
Cause: Modification to the collection element type did not widen its constraints or
attempted to change the type of the element. For NUMBER types, scale and
52-62 Oracle Database Error Messages
precision can be changed to allow increase in number of digits after and before the
decimal point. For VARCHAR2 and RAW type attributes the size can be increased.
Action: Change the constraint specification so as to widen the existing constraints.
PLS-00730: collection element type does not allow modifications
Cause: The element type to modify is not one of VARCHAR2, NUMBER, or RAW.
Action: Only VARCHAR2, NUMBER and RAW collection elements can be
modified.
PLS-00731: ALTER TYPE is supported only on schema-level types
Cause: An attempt was made to alter a type that was not schema-level.
Action: ALTER TYPE is not legal for this type.
PLS-00732: Illegal overload of ellipsis in formal parameter list
Cause: An ellipsis and a non-ellipsis type appeared at the same position in
separate overload candidates. Currently, if ellipsis types are used they must
appear in ALL overload candidates with the same name (regardless of the number
or types of their formal parameters) at the same position in the formal parameter
list.
Action: Make sure that ellipsis types appear at the same position in all overload
candidates.
PLS-00733: RPCs to variable argument functions are not allowed
Cause: Attempted to call a vararg function (a function which contains ellipsis in
the formal parameter list) as an RPC.
Action: Do not call vararg functions as an RPC.
PLS-00734: Illegal use of an associational parameter with a formal ellipsis
Cause: Attempted to use an associational actual argument for a formal ellipsis
type argument.
Action: Remove associational parameters which correspond to formal ellipsis
types.
PLS-00735: Attempted to declare more than one formal ellipsis parameter
Cause: More than one ellipsis ('…') was found in a formal parameter specification
for a function or procedure
Action: Make sure only one ellipsis appears in a formal parameter specification
for any given function or procedure
PLS-00736: user-declared operators are not allowed
Cause: An attempt was made by the user to declare an operator (a function whose
name is enclosed in single quotes ("'")). Operators may only be declared in package
STANDARD.
Action: Remove the single quotes from around the function name, replacing them
with double quotes (""") only if needed.
PLS-00737: LIBRARY or ASSEMBLY file specification exceeds the maximum
allowed length
Cause: A string of more than expected number of chararacters was found for the
LIBRARY or ASSEMBLY file specification.
Action: Limit the LIBRARY or ASSEMBLY file specification to the appropriate
size for the platform.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-63
PLS-00738: REF target string changed during compilation
Cause: The current unit contains a REF to a target object. During compilation, the
REF's target object was simultaneously changed by a different session. The current
unit is therefore invalid and needs to be recompiled to pick up the latest definition
of the REF target.
Action: Recompile the unit that has this error.
PLS-00739: FORALL INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE not supported on remote tables
Cause: The current statement refers to remote insert/update/delete for remote
object.
Action: Use a FOR loop instead of a FORALL loop or call a remote function or
procedure that includes the FORALL INSERT/UPDATE/ DELETE statement.
PLS-00740: ASSEMBLY identity specification exceeds the maximum allowed length
Cause: A string of more than expected number of chararacters was found for the
ASSEMBLY identity specification.
Action: Limit the ASSEMBLY identity specification to the appropriate size.
PLS-00741: string must be specified on subprogram string's declaration and
definition
Cause: A property was specified on a subprogram's declaration but not on its
definition or vice-versa.
Action: Certain subprogram properties (e.g., RESULT_CACHE) must be specified
as part of the subprogram declaration and definition. For example, if the property
RESULT_CACHE is specified on a subprogram declared in a package
specification, then it must also be specified on the subprogram's definition in the
package body (and vice-versa).
PLS-00742: field string is not yet denotable
Cause: When the fields of a record were declared, one field was used to initialize
another, as in: TYPE my_rec IS RECORD (f1 varchar2(10), f2 varchar2(10) := f1);
The first field has no value until run time, so it cannot be used to initialize another
field.
Action: Remove the illegal field reference.
PLS-00743: ASSEMBLY IDENTITY string is null
Cause: The string provided for the identity clause of an ASSEMBLY was null.
Action: Provide a valid identity string for the ASSEMBLY.
PLS-00744: DOTNET call specification methodname is null
Cause: The string provided for the METHODNAME clause of a DOTNET call
specification was null.
Action: Provide a valid METHODNAME for the ASSEMBLY.
PLS-00745: ASSEMBLY CONTEXT string is null
Cause: The string provided for the CONTEXT clause of an ASSEMBLY was null.
Action: Provide a valid CONTEXT string for the ASSEMBLY.
PLS-00746: ASSEMBLY AGENT string is null
Cause: The string provided for the AGENT clause of an ASSEMBLY was null.
Action: Provide a valid AGENT string for the ASSEMBLY.
52-64 Oracle Database Error Messages
PLS-00747: .NET assemblies are not supported on this platform
Cause: .NET assemblies were not supported on this platform. .NET assemblies are
only supported on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.
Action: Only attempt to create assemblies on 32-bit or 64-bit Windows.
PLS-00748: compilation terminated due to other errors
Cause: Compilation of the library unit was terminated because of other reported
errors.
Action: Fix the other reported errors.
PLS-00751: cannot find PACKAGE SYS_STUB_FOR_PURITY_ANALYSIS
Cause: A top level subprogram (function or procedure) cannot be created if the
system package SYS_STUB_FOR_PURITY_ANALYSIS is missing in the Oracle
database.
Action: Make sure the package is in the database, and retry the creation
PLS-00752: Table function string is in an inconsistent state.
Cause: Some of the internally generated types prefixed with SYS_ have been
dropped. These should never be dropped by the user.
Action: Recompile the table function or the package or type that contains the table
function.
PLS-00753: malformed or corrupted wrapped unit
Cause: The format of the wrapped unit being compiled is not understood by the
compiler. This may be because the unit was edited or modified after it was
wrapped.
Action: Rewrap the unit.
PLS-00754: illegal reference to editioned object string
Cause: An attempt was made to violate the rule "A noneditioned object may not
depend on an editioned object."
Action: Either make this obejct editioned; or do not make the illegal reference.
PLS-00755: SYSAUX tablespace offline while saving identifier data
Cause: The SYSAUX tablespace was offline while attempting to save identifier
data. Any identifier data previously collected and saved for the libunit will be
invalid.
Action: Bring the SYSAUX tablespace back online and recompile the object.
PLS-00756: PL/SQL does not support feature "string" "string" in this environment
Cause: Some host environments of the PL/SQL compiler do not support the full
range of PL/SQL features. A construct in the program violated one of the current
host's restrictions.
Action: Modify the program to avoid using features that are not supported by this
host environment. Check the host environment documentation for specific
changes and limitations in PL/SQL features.
PLS-00757: only one column allowed for PARTITION BY VALUE clause
Cause: More than one column was specified for the PARTITION BY VALUE
clause.
Action: Remove the additonal columns.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-65
PLS-00758: only a NUMBER column is allowed in this context
Cause: The partitioning column of the PARTITION BY VALUE clause was not a
NUMBER column.
Action: Change the partitioning column to be a NUMBER column.
PLS-00801: internal error [string]
Cause: This is a generic internal error that might occur during compilation or
execution. The first parameter is the internal error number.
Action: Report this error as a bug to your Customer Support representative.
PLS-00900: can't find body of unit 'string'
Cause: At run time, the body of a program unit could not be found. This can
happen for one of two reasons. -- First, there may be a unit 'a' which calls a module
'b', where the spec for 'b' exists but not the body. In this case, since the spec is
present, there will be no compile-time errors. -- Secondly, this can occur if there is a
reference to a sequence outside of the proper context such as a SQL statement. In
this case, the "spec" of the sequence reference can be found, but it is invalid to
actually run code which references the sequence outside a SQL statement, as in: i
:= seq.nextval;
Action: If caused by the first reason, create a body for the object that is being
referenced. If caused by the second reason, move the sequence into a SQL
statement. For example, i := seq.nextval; can be replaced by: select seq.nextval into
temp from dual; i := temp;
PLS-00901: the data type of column 'string' of table 'string' is not supported
Cause: A column in a database table belongs to a datatype that is not supported
by the current release of PL/SQL.
Action: Remove the offending column from the table or copy the desired columns
to another table.
PLS-00902: A READ-ONLY bind variable used in OUT or IN-OUT context
Cause: A host variable that is protected from update was used in a context that
allows an update.
Action: Check the context and change the use of the host variable, or assign the
value of the host variable to a PL/SQL local variable, then use the local variable
instead.
PLS-00904: insufficient privilege to access object string
Cause: An attempt was made to operate on a database object without the required
privilege. This error occurs, for example, if an attempt was made to UPDATE a
table for which only SELECT privileges were granted.
Action: Ask the DBA to perform the operation or to grant you the required
privilege.
PLS-00905: object string is invalid
Cause: An invalid package specification or stored subprogram was referenced. A
package specification or stored subprogram is invalid if its source code or any
database object it references has been DROPped, REPLACEd, or ALTERed since it
was last compiled.
Action: Find out what invalidated the package specification or stored
subprogram, then make sure that Oracle can recompile it without errors.
PLS-00906: Compilation is not possible
52-66 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The PL/SQL compiler cannot run properly because its operating
environment is corrupted. For example, its error message file might be
inaccessible.
Action: Check the PL/SQL operating environment, making sure that all files
required by the compiler are accessible.
PLS-00907: cannot load library unit string (referenced by string)
Cause: PL/SQL is unable to find and load a library unit that was previously
available. This typically happens when you try to load a unit which references
another library unit that is non-existent or invalid.
Action: Provide the needed library unit.
PLS-00908: The stored format of string is not supported by this release
Cause: PL/SQL cannot understand the stored format of a library unit. It has been
compiled or shrink-wrapped with a version of PL/SQL either too new or too old
for this version to understand it.
Action: Recompile the library unit for this version of PL/SQL.
PLS-00909: object string is not declared or insufficient privileges to access object
string
Cause: An object from the operator declaration is not declared, or it is declared
but there is no sufficient privileges to access that object.
Action: Declare the object, or ask the DBA to grant the privileges required to
access the object.
PLS-00910: insufficient privilege to inherit from type string
Cause: An attempt was made to inherit from a type without the required UNDER
privilege.
Action: None
PLS-00920: parameter plsql_native_library_dir is not set
Cause: A PL/SQL program is being compiled natively, but the compiler
parameter plsql_native_library_dir, which denotes the directory to store the native
shared objects (DLL), is not set.
Action: The DBA should set this parameter.
PLS-00923: native compilation failed: string:string
Cause: The native compilation of PL/SQL program has failed because the native
shared object (DLL) could not be created successfully.
Action: The DBA should ensure that the commands specified in spnc_commands
file are correct.
PLS-00924: native compilation is not supported on this platform
Cause: Native compilation of PL/SQL programs is not supported on this
platform.
Action: Compile the PL/SQL program to bytecode by setting the parameter
plsql_compiler_flags to INTERPRETED.
PLS-00925: native compilation failed: Unable to create file (string string)
Cause: Native compilation of a PL/SQL program failed because a file could not
be created. It is likely that the system parameter plsql_native_library_dir does not
reference a writable, existing directory
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-67
Action: Ensure that the system parameter plsql_native_library_dir references a
directory which exists, and is writable.
PLS-00950: In this version, PL/SQL tables can not be used in this SQL statement.
Cause: In a SQL statement, a PL/SQL table was referenced incorrectly. For
example, the following reference might have been made, but PL/SQL table
attributes can only be used in procedural statements: SELECT ename_tab.COUNT
INTO name_count WHERE …
Action: Remove the incorrect reference from the SQL statement.
PLS-00951: string Feature is not supported by this release
Cause: PL/SQL cannot understand something in an imported library unit. It uses
some feature either too new or too old for this version to understand it.
Action: Recompile the imported library unit with this version of PL/SQL, to
discover more precisely what feature is not supported.
PLS-00960: RPCs cannot use parameters with schema-level object types in this
release
Cause: Schema-level object types, or types which recursively use such types, were
used in an RPC, which is not permitted. For example: create type foo as object (…)
create package my_pack is type my_rec is record(v foo); -- on a remote server: x
my_pack.my_rec@rpc; -- illegal attempt to use type my_rec
Action: Use only PL/SQL-defined types in RPC calls. It may be necessary to add
extra code to element-wise copy schema-level types into local types in order to
move such data through an RPC.
PLS-00970: The class name of a method must match that of EXTERNAL NAME
clause in the type header
Cause: The class name defined as part of the method signature does not match the
one defined in the type header in the EXTERNAL NAME clause. create type foo as
object EXTERNAL NAME 'foo' LANGUAGE JAVA (… MEMBER FUNCTION my
(number) return number EXTERNAL NAME 'bar.func(oracle.sql.NUMBER) return
oracle.sql.NUMBER', .. );
Action: Either omit the class name from the method signature or use the one
defined in the type header.
PLS-00989: Cursor Variable in record, object, or collection is not supported by this
release
Cause: 3.0 Implementation Restriction for Ref Cursors
Action: None
PLS-00990: Index Tables of Cursor Variables are disallowed
Cause: 2.2 Implementation Restriction for Ref Cursors
Action: None
PLS-00992: Cursor Variables cannot be FETCH'ed from
Cause: 2.2 Implementation Restriction for Ref Cursors
Action: None
PLS-00993: Cursor variables cannot be passed as forwarded RPC arguments or
results
Cause: An attempt was made to pass a cursor variable to or from a remote
subprogram by way of a forwarded RPC, which is not allowed. For example, from
52-68 Oracle Database Error Messages
a client-side tool, a procedure on a remote database cannot be used to open a
cursor variable because remote subprograms cannot return the values of cursor
variables.
Action: Change the subprogram call to reference the local database.
PLS-00994: Cursor Variables cannot be declared as part of a package
Cause: An attempt was made to declare a cursor variable in a package
specification, which is not allowed. Although REF CURSOR types can be defined
in a PL/SQL block, subprogram, or package, cursor variables can be declared only
in a block or subprogram.
Action: Move the cursor variable declaration into a PL/SQL block or subprogram.
PLS-00995: unhandled exception # string
Cause: An exception was raised for which no handler was found. If it cannot find
a handler for a raised exception, PL/SQL returns an unhandled exception to the
host environment. The number embedded in the message is an Oracle error code
listed in this manual.
Action: Fix the condition that raised the exception, write an appropriate exception
handler, or use the OTHERS handler. If there is an appropriate handler in the
current block, the exception was raised in a declaration or exception handler, and
therefore propagated immediately to the enclosing block.
PLS-00996: out of memory
Cause: A request from PL/SQL for more memory failed.
Action: Make sure that you are not referencing the wrong row in a PL/SQL table
and that the program is not recursing too deeply.
PLS-00997: no cursor return types allowed in this beta version
Cause: Cursor return types have bugs, and it is best to disable them for now.
Action: None
PLS-01400: Use of '||' token
Cause: Use of '||' token in expressions is not in ANSI's grammar. This
corresponds to the "binary_add_op"'s reduction to a "CAT_" in plsql.y
Action: None
PLS-01401: Identifier over 18 characters long
Cause: Identifiers over 18 characters long are not allowed under the ANSI
grammar.
Action: None
PLS-01402: Use of quoted identifier
Cause: The use of quoted identifiers is a PL/SQL extension and is not allowed
under the ANSI grammar.
Action: None
PLS-01403: Comment delimiters /* */
Cause: C-style comments (introduced with the '/' and '*' characters) are not part
of the ANSI grammar. To conform with ANSI, comments must be preceded by the
ANSI comment introducer, '--' , and must not contain a newline. If someone can
figure out a way to make this message look less cheesy without ending up with
nested comments, be my guest.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-69
Action: None
PLS-01404: ANSI Identifiers can only consist of letters, digits, and the underscore
character
Cause: ANSI identifiers can only consist of letters, digits, and the underscore
character. PL/SQL allows "#" and "$" in identifiers, but these are not ANSI.
Action: None
PLS-01405: Under ANSI's grammar, numeric data represented in exponent
notationmust use an uppercase E
Cause: Under ANSI's grammar, numeric data represented in exponent notation
must use an uppercase "E". Example: 3.45E-6 is ANSI, but 3.45e-6 is not.
Action: None
PLS-01406: An identifier has been found that is considered a keyword in ANSI's
grammar but not in PL/SQL's
Cause: An identifier has been found that is considered a keyword in ANSI's
grammar but not in PL/SQL's.
Action: None
PLS-01407: One of the identifiers CHAR, CHARACTER, or INTEGER has been
redefined by the programmer
Cause: One of the identifiers "CHAR", "CHARACTER", or "INTEGER" (all ansi
keywords) has been redefined by the programmer.(special case of 1406, above).
Action: None
PLS-01408: Use of '&' token
Cause: Use of '&' token in expressions is not in ANSI's grammar.
Action: None
PLS-01409: Use of 'PRIOR_' token
Cause: Use of 'PRIOR_' token in expressions is not in ANSI's grammar.
Action: None
PLS-01410: Use of 'MOD' token
Cause: Use of 'MOD' token in expressions is not in ANSI's grammar.
Action: None
PLS-01411: Use of 'REM' token
Cause: Use of 'REM' token in expressions is not in ANSI's grammar.
Action: None
PLS-01412: Use of 'EXP' token
Cause: Use of 'EXP' token in expressions is not in ANSI's grammar.
Action: None
PLS-01413: Use of NULL an expression
Cause: Use of NULL an expression not in ANSI's grammar.
Action: None
PLS-01414: Use of qualified expression here
Cause: Use of qualified expression here is not in ANSI's grammar.

Cause: Subquery cannot include set operators in ANSI's grammar.
Action: None
PLS-01419: Subquery must have either '*' or exactly one column in its select list
Cause: Subquery must have either '*' or exactly one column in its select list
according to ANSI's grammar.
Action: None
PLS-01420: INTERSECT and MINUS set operators are not ANSI
Cause: INTERSECT and MINUS set operators are not ANSI
Action: None
PLS-01421: FOR UPDATE clause
Cause: FOR UPDATE clause is not in ANSI's grammar.
Action: None
PLS-01422: Aliases
Cause: Aliases are not in ANSI's grammar.
Action: None
PLS-01423: Subquery on right-hand-side in set clause
Cause: Subquery on right-hand-side in set clause is not in ANSI's grammar.
Action: None
PLS-01424: Non-ANSI order of clauses
Cause: ANSI specifies an ordering to clauses in a table-expression which PL/SQL
doesn't. The ordering according to ANSI must be: (1) from clause (2) where clause
(3) group-by clause (4) having clause In PL/SQL, the from clause must come first,
and the clauses after it can appear in any order (with the addition of the non-ansi
connect-by clause).
Action: None
PLS-01425: Connect-by clause
Cause: ANSI doesn't allow connect-by clauses.
Action: None
PLS-01450: This

PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-75
PLS-01900: : character to number conversion error
Cause: There was a failure while converting a character string into a numeric
value.
Action: Verify that all character strings assigned to number variables have valid
numeric value interpretations.
PLS-01901: : host bind array too small
Cause: PL/SQL was unable to transfer data into a host array because the array is
too small.
Action: Increase the size of the host array.
PLS-01902: : hex to raw conversion error
Cause: There was a failure while converting a hexadecimal string to a raw.
Action: Verify that the hexadecimal variable to be converted contains a valid
hexadecimal value.
PLS-01903: : non-integer error number
Cause: SQLERRM() was called with a non-integer value.
Action: Make sure SQLERRM() is called with an integer value.
PLS-01904: : NULL index table key value
Cause: An attempt was made to index into an index table with a NULL key value.
Action: Make sure key values used to index into index tables are non-NULL.
PLS-01905: : character string buffer too small
Cause: An error was encountered while moving a character string from a source
to a destination. This error occurs if, for example, an attempt is made to move a a
character string of 10 characters into a 1 character buffer. The cause of this error
may not always be obvious. For example, the following will result in this error: a
varchar2(1); b number; b := 10; a := b; An error results because an implicit
conversion causes the number 10 to become the character string '10', which does
not fit in the character buffer of 1 allocated for the variable a.
Action: First, look for character string assignment statements where the buffer
size is mismatched. If there are none found, then consider the implicit conversion
case illustrated in the example above.
PLS-01906: : raw variable length too long
Cause: The length of a raw variable being copied or assigned was too long to fit
into its destination.
Action: Make sure the raw variable length is correct.
PLS-01907: : number precision too large
Cause: The number begin copied or assigned had too many digits to the left of the
decimal and did not fit into its destination. In other words, there is a number
precision mismatch. This error may also occur if, for example, an attempt is made
to assign a character string to a number, as demonstrated below. a varchar2(4); b
number(1,1); a := '10.1'; b := a;
Action: First, check explicit number precision value mismatches. If none are
found, then consider implicit conversions of other types to numbers, including
conversions performed during binds.
PLS-01908: : RETURNING INTO buffer too small
52-76 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: PL/SQL determined that a server side DML with a RETURNING INTO
clause does not use a buffer that is large enough to hold the data being returned.
Action: Increase the size of the RETURNING INTO clause buffer.
PLS-01909: : cannot assign supertype instance to subtype
Cause: An attempt was made to assign or copy a supertype instance to a
container (destination) that can only hold a subtype instance.
Action: Make sure the runtime type of the source of the assignment or copy is the
same type as the destination or is a subtype of the destination type
PLS-01910: : associative array shape is not consistent with session parameters
Cause: NLS parameters affecting comparison of keys have been altered
dynamically. The associative array's index is invalid.
Action: Avoid using associative arrays with string keys in applications which
require frequent changes of NLS_COMP and/or NLS_SORT.
PLS-01911: : associative array key violates its type constraints
Cause: The key value of an element being inserted into an associative array
violates the the key type constraints.
Action: Relax the constraints if the key value is meant to be acceptable.
Otherwise, apply a valid key value when inserting an element.
PLS-01912: : instance must of be of type 'string'
Cause: The run-time type of the instance is not the declared type. e.g. If the return
value of a user defined constructor is wrong.
Action: Return the correct type.
PLS-01913: : instance must of be of type 'string' or one of its subtypes
Cause: The run-time type of the instance is the not declared type or one of its
subtypes. e.g. TREAT(supertype AS subtype) fails.
Action: Catch the exception.
PLS-01914: duplicate SECURITY specification in subprogram expression
Cause: The subprogram was found to have two SECURITY specifications.
Action: Remove one of the SECURITY specifications.
PLS-01915: duplicate ASSEMBLY specification in subprogram expression
Cause: The subprogram was found to have two ASSEMBLY specifications.
Action: Remove one of the ASSEMBLY specifications.
PLS-01916: SECURITY level specification exceeds ASSEMBLY SECURITY
specification
Cause: The security level specified in the callspec exceeds the maximum security
level allowed by the assembly.
Action: Lower the security level specified in the callspec to match the maximum
security level specificed in the assembly.
PLS-01917: illegal reference to package STANDARD item 'string'
Cause: The item is intended for internal use and must not be referred to in user
code.
Action: Remove the reference and use syntax that provides the necessary
functionality.
PLS-00049 to PLS-01918 52-77
PLS-01918: 9.2 and earlier wrap formats are not permitted
Cause: An attempt was made to compile a unit that was wrapped using 9.2 or
earlier version of the wrap utility. Wrapped source created by 9.2 and earlier
versions of wrap is not permitted on this database.
Action: Wrap the source using 10g or later versions of the wrap utility.
Alternately, set the initialization parameter PERMIT_92_WRAP_FORMAT
parameter to TRUE.

PLW-05000 to PLW-07206 53-1
PLW-05000 to PLW-07206 3 5
PLW-05000: mismatch in NOCOPY qualification between specification and body
Cause: The indicated parameter was declared with the NOCOPY hint in the
subprogram specification but not in the body, or it was declared with the
NOCOPY hint in the body but not in the specification.
Action: Ensure that the specification and the body agree in their use of NOCOPY.
If this mismatch is not corrected, the program will obey the declaration given in
the specification, ignoring that in the body.
PLW-05001: previous use of 'string' (at line string) conflicts with this use
Cause: While looking for prior declarations of a variable, constant, or label, the
compiler found another declaration with the same name in the same scope. Or, the
headers of subprogram in a package specification and body were not identical.
Action: Check the spelling of the variable, constant, or label name. Also check the
names of all parameters and exceptions declared in the same scope. Then, remove
or rename the object with the duplicate name. Or, change the headers of the
packaged subprogram in the package specification or body so that they are
identical.
PLW-05003: same actual parameter(string and string) at IN and NOCOPY may have
side effects
Cause: The indicated parameter was declared with the NOCOPY hint in the
subprogram specification but not in the body, or it was declared with the
NOCOPY hint in the body but not in the specification.
Action: Ensure that the specification and the body agree in their use of NOCOPY.
If this mismatch is not corrected, the program will obey the declaration given in
the specification, ignoring that in the body.
PLW-05004: identifier string is also declared in STANDARD or is a SQL builtin
Cause: The indicated identifier was also either: o) declared in package
STANDARD, or o) a SQL builtin function, or o) a pseudo-column. This situation
can result in name resolution issues since the STANDARD/builtin declaration will
be chosen over the local declaration in SQL statements; however the local
declaration will be chosen over the STANDARD/builtin declaration outside SQL
scope. (See the documentation on PL/SQL name resolution.)
Action: Either: o) rename the given identifier, o) qualify any references to the
identifier with the containing scope's name, or o) make sure the intended
resolution occurs if using the identifier in SQL scope.
PLW-05005: subprogram string returns without value at line string
53-2 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: A function terminated without a return value. RETURN statements with
values are required for all PL/SQL functions.
Action: Inspect function source code to ensure that every RETURN statement
returns a value and that a function does not terminate by executing its END
statement. Notice that this message may appear at the call site for a function if the
function call was inlined and if the called function did not terminate properly.
PLW-05006: shadow type generation resulted in warning: string
Cause: Compilation of a table function causes the creation of internally- generated
types. A problem occurred during creation of these types which was not severe
enough to prevent the creation of the types, but which may impact the usage of
the table function. See the accompanying error message for more information.
Action: Fix the issue reported in the accompanying error message.
PLW-05007: first parameter to pragma INLINE must be an identifier
Cause: The first parameter to the pragma INLINE must be an identifier denoting
a procedure or function.
Action: Use a procedure or function name
PLW-05008: illegal number of arguments for pragma string
Cause: The number of arguments (actual parameters) passed to the named
pragma (compiler directive) is incorrect. A required argument was omitted from
the argument list, or the pragma syntax is faulty (for example, a comma might be
missing between two parameters).
Action: Supply the missing argument or correct the faulty syntax.
PLW-05009: pragma INLINE may not appear in a declaration list
Cause: Pragma INLINE applies only to the following statement, and can not
appear immediately prior to a declaration
Action: Remove the pragma.
PLW-05010: duplicate pragma INLINE on procedure 'string'
Cause: Pragma INLINE was applied twice to the same procedure in the same
statement. The procedure will be inlined only if all duplicates specify a control
value of 'YES'
Action: Remove the duplicate pragma.
PLW-05011: pragma INLINE for procedure 'string' does not apply to any calls
Cause: A pragma INLINE was provided, but there was no call to the mentioned
procedure in the next statement.
Action: Remove the unnecessary pragma.
PLW-05012: pragma INLINE for procedure 'string' could not be applied
Cause: A pragma INLINE(
could not be inlined.
Action: Eliminate the reasons which are blocking the inlining. See the
documentation for possible problems.
PLW-05013: second parameter to pragma INLINE 'string' is not 'YES' or 'NO'
Cause: The second parameter to the pragma INLINE governs whether or not a
procedure call can be inlined. The only legal values are 'YES', meaning that the
compiler should attempt to inline the call, and 'NO', meaning that the compiler
must not inline the call.
PLW-05000 to PLW-07206 53-3
Action: Use 'YES' or 'NO' as appropriate.
PLW-05014: Pragma string cannot be specified here
Cause: The pragma was specified in an inappropriate context.
Action: Remove or relocate the misplaced pragma. Check the documentation to
determine the correct context for this pragma.
PLW-05015: implementation restriction - too many debug records
Cause: The program is so large that it overflowed a compiler limit on the size of
the debug symbol table. The module was compiled with partial debugging
information.
Action: Compile the module with PLSQL_DEBUG=FALSE, or split it into
multiple modules
PLW-05016: INTO clause should not be specified here
Cause: The INTO clause was incorrectly specified on a cursor declaration. It
should have been specified on the FETCH statement.
Action: Relocate the misplaced clause.
PLW-05017: prefix of the expression will be ignored
Cause: Generalized invocation with explicit SELF and a dotted name was used to
call the type method causing the prefix of the dotted name to be ignored.
Action: Do not use a dotted name to invoked type method in this context.
PLW-05018: unit string omitted optional AUTHID clause; default value DEFINER
used
Cause: The AUTHID clause is missing. The unit is allowed to have an AUTHID
clause. If the clause is missing, DEFINER's rights are used by default. Good
practice suggests that an explicit AUTHID clause should always be used.
Action: Write an explicit AUTHID clause for the unit.
PLW-05019: the language element near keyword string is deprecated beginning
with version string
Cause: A deprecated language element was used. The particular language
element is deprecated in PL/SQL versions greater than or equal to the version
number given in the message text.
Action: The deprecated language element should be deleted or rewritten.
Deprecated PL/SQL language elements become obsolete one version after they are
deprecated. An obsolete language element will no longer be supported and use of
the element will result in an error.
PLW-05020: parameter name must be an identifier
Cause: A string literal was used as the parameter name in a call that used named
notation.
Action: Change the code to use an identifier for the parameter name.
PLW-05021: exception string does not have a pragma EXCEPTION_INIT
Cause: A user-defined exception was declared but it was not given an exception
number by the pragma EXCEPTION_INIT. Good practice suggests that all
user-defined exceptions should be explicitly numbered.
Action: Add a pragma EXCEPTION_INIT to give the exception a number.
PLW-05022: argument 'string' is not comparable
53-4 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: An argument to either IN, BETWEEN or MEMBER OF was not of a
comparable type. Or, if the argument was of an object type, no MAP or ORDER
method was specified for the type.
Action: Use appropriate arguments, or specify a MAP or ORDER method.
PLW-05023: PL/Scope is disabled because SYSAUX is offline.
Cause: PL/Scope was disabled for the current PL/SQL unit compilation because
the SYSAUX tablespace is or was offline at the time of compilation. Note that
PL/Scope stores identified metadata in the SYSAUX tablespace, and thus cannot
function when SYSAUX is offline.
Action: Verify SYSAUX is online and recompile the PL/SQL unit.
PLW-05024: Do not use BULK COLLECT clause in a cursor declaration
Cause: A BULK COLLECT clause was specified in a cursor declaration.
Action: Remove the BULK COLLECT clause from the cursor declaration, moving
it to the FETCH statement or statements, if appropriate.
PLW-06002: Unreachable code
Cause: d by expression evaluation at compile time.
Action: Inspect program logic for possible defects. Disable the warning if much
code is made unreachable intentionally and the warning message is more
annoying than helpful.
PLW-06003: unknown inquiry directive 'string'
Cause: An unknown inquiry directive was used. The inquiry directive is neither
predefined nor user-defined.
Action: Use a predefined inquiry directive or define the inquiry directive.
PLW-06004: inlining of call of procedure 'string' requested
Cause: A pragma INLINE(, 'YES') referring to the named procedure was found.
The compiler will, if possible, inline this call.
Action: None
PLW-06005: inlining of call of procedure 'string' was done
Cause: A call to the procedure was inlined.
Action: None
PLW-06006: uncalled procedure "string" is removed.
Cause: Static program analysis determined that the procedure can never be called
or executed. Therefore, it has been removed to save time during compilation and
space during execution.
Action: Inspect program logic for possible defects. Disable the warning if the
procedure is useful but simply not being used right now and the warning message
is more annoying than helpful.
PLW-06007: procedure "string" is removed because optimization removed calls
Cause: Static program analysis determined that the procedure can never be called
or executed. Therefore, it has been removed to save time during compilation and
space during execution.
Action: Inspect program logic for possible defects. Disable the warning if the
procedure is useful but simply not being used right now and the warning message
is more annoying than helpful.
PLW-05000 to PLW-07206 53-5
PLW-06008: call of procedure 'string' will not be inlined
Cause: A pragma INLINE(, 'NO') referring to the named procedure was found.
The compiler is prevented from inlining this call.
Action: None
PLW-06009: procedure "string" OTHERS handler does not end in RAISE or RAISE_
APPLICATION_ERROR
Cause: The OTHERS handler can exit without executing some form of RAISE or
or a call to the standard procedure RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR.
Action: Good programming practices suggest that OTHERS handlers must
always pass an exception upward. Inspect the program logic to determine if the
handler code needs revision.
PLW-06010: keyword "string" used as a defined name
Cause: A PL/SQL or SQL keyword was used as defined name. Although legal,
this is not recommended.
Action: Choose another name for the defined item.
PLW-06011: detailed dependency information discarded due to size limitations
Cause: The compiled unit was so large that the compiler could not store detailed
dependency information that could be used to quickly recompile the unit if it was
invalidated.
Action: Break up the unit into smaller units.
PLW-06012: SQL statement cannot be inlined. string
Cause: The SQL statement could not be inlined.
Action: None
PLW-06013: deprecated parameter PLSQL_DEBUG forces PLSQL_OPTIMIZE_
LEVEL <= 1
Cause: The PLSQL_DEBUG parameter was set to TRUE forcing the optimization
level to 1 (or 0 if the user selected 0) regardless of the setting of the PLSQL_
OPTIMIZE_LEVEL parameter to a higher level
Action: Do not use the PLSQL_DEBUG parameter; it is deprecated. Instead, set
the PLSQL_OPTIMIZE_LEVEL parameter to 1.
PLW-06014: PLSQL_OPTIMIZE_LEVEL <= 1 turns off native code generation
Cause: Native code generation was not done because the optimization was set to
1 or less.
Action: The goal of native code generation is high performance and a low
optimization level defeats that purpose. Either request a higher optimization level
or remove the request for native code generation. Note that using the deprecated
parameter PLSQL_DEBUG also forces the optimization level to 1; do not use this
parameter when native code generation is desired.
PLW-06015: parameter PLSQL_DEBUG is deprecated; use PLSQL_OPTIMIZE_
LEVEL = 1
Cause: The PLSQL_DEBUG parameter was specified.
Action: The parameter PLSQL_DEBUG no longer controls the generation of
debugging information by the PL/SQL compiler; debugging information is always
generated and no special parameter is needed.
PLW-06016: unit string is too large; native code generation turned off
53-6 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: Because the program was extremely large, analysis took an excessive
amount of time or space to complete causing native compilation to be turned off.
Action: The goal of native code generation is high performance and the compiler
does extensive analysis of the program. If possible, reduce the size of the largest
procedure, or split the program unit into multiple units.
PLW-06017: an operation will raise an exception
Cause: An operation near this location is certain to raise an exception during
execution; it may be a programming error because it is not an explicit RAISE.
Action: The compiler has determined that some operation near this location is
certain to raise an exception during execution. This may be a programming error;
consider rewriting the code. If the intention is to raise an exception, use an explicit
RAISE statement.
PLW-06018: an infinity or NaN value is computed or used
Cause: An operation near this location computes or uses an infinite NUMBER,
BINARY_FLOAT, or BINARY_DOUBLE value or a NaN BINARY_FLOAT or
BINARY_DOUBLE value.
Action: The compiler has determined that an operation near this location
computes or uses either an infinity or a not-a-number (NaN) value. This may
indicate a programming error; consider rewriting the code. If the intention is to
use a BINARY_FLOAT or a BINARY_DOUBLE non-numeric value, use the
appropriate constant from STANDARD rather than computing the value. Some
valid uses exist for these values; the warning will still appear in those cases. The
use of infinite NUMBER values is not well-defined and should be avoided.
PLW-07202: bind type would result in conversion away from column type
Cause: The column type and the bind type do not exactly match. This will result
in the column being converted to the type of the bind variable. This type
conversion may prevent the SQL optimizer from using any index the column
participates in. This may adversely affect the execution performance of this
statement.
Action: To make use of any index for this column, make sure the bind type is the
same type as the column type.
PLW-07203: parameter 'string' may benefit from use of the NOCOPY compiler hint
Cause: The mode of the specified parameter was IN OUT or OUT. Use of the
NOCOPY compiler hint may speed up calls to this subprogram.
Action: Change the mode of the parameter to explicitly use the NOCOPY
compiler hint. For example, if your subprogram declaration is: PROCEDURE
proc(p1 IN OUT CLOB); you can change it to: PROCEDURE proc(p1 IN OUT
NOCOPY clob); to get the benefit of the NOCOPY hint. For member procedures or
functions in object types, you may have to explicitly declare the SELF parameter as
illustrated in the following: MEMBER PROCEDURE proc(SELF IN OUT NOCOPY
MY_TYPE);
PLW-07204: conversion away from column type may result in sub-optimal query
plan
Cause: The column type and the bind type do not exactly match. This may result
in the column being converted to the type of the bind variable. This type
conversion may prevent the SQL optimizer from using any index the column
participates in. This may adversely affect the execution performance of this
statement.
PLW-05000 to PLW-07206 53-7
Action: To make use of any index for this column, make sure the bind type is the
same type as the column type.
PLW-07205: SIMPLE_INTEGER is mixed with BINARY_INTEGER or PLS_
INTEGER
Cause: Using SIMPLE_INTEGER and BINARY_INTEGER or PLS_INTEGER
arguments in the same arithmetic expression may inhibit certain optimizations.
Action: Try using SIMPLE_INTEGER values only if the expression is computed
on a performance critical path.
PLW-07206: analysis suggests that the assignment to 'string' may be unnecessary
Cause: This assignment may be unnecessary; the PL/SQL optimizer could not
find any further use of the variable which was being set. If the assignment was
being done for some side-effect such as raising a specific exception, the compiler
may not have been able to understand the side-effect and this warning may be
inappropriate.
Action: If the assignment sets a variable whose value will not be used again and
there are no side-effects (exceptions or calls) to consider, remove the assignment
for better performance. If the assignment was in place to raise a specific known
exception, replace the assignment with a RAISE statement.
