Error with PL/SQL block

Question

Hi
If I run PL/SQL block
DECLARE
CURSOR C1 is SELECT CLM_CASE_NO FROM CLAIM_OBJECT.CLM_INVLVD_PRTY_T where CLM_CASE_NO=XXXX;
BEGIN
FOR X in C1 loop
INSERT INTO POSTL_ADDRS_ARCHIVE P (SELECT A.* FROM CLAIM_OBJECT.POSTL_ADDRS A, CLAIM_OBJECT.CLM_INVLVD_PRTY_T C WHERE
C.CLNT_NO = A.CLNT_NO AND C.CURR_ROW_IND='A' AND C.CLM_CASE_NO =X.CLM_CASE_NO );
end loop;
end;
there is no error with the above block
If I remove where clause in cursor and run block
DECLARE
CURSOR C1 is SELECT CLM_CASE_NO FROM CLAIM_OBJECT.CLM_INVLVD_PRTY_T;
BEGIN
FOR X in C1 loop
INSERT INTO POSTL_ADDRS_ARCHIVE P (SELECT A.* FROM CLAIM_OBJECT.POSTL_ADDRS A, CLAIM_OBJECT.CLM_INVLVD_PRTY_T C WHERE
C.CLNT_NO = A.CLNT_NO AND C.CURR_ROW_IND='A' AND C.CLM_CASE_NO =X.CLM_CASE_NO );
end loop;
end;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01013: user requested cancel of current operation
ORA-06512: at line 12
I searched for ORA-06512
Cause:
     This error message indicates the line number in the PLSQL code that the error resulted.
SELECT CLM_CASE_NO FROM CLAIM_OBJECT.CLM_INVLVD_PRTY_T has over 800,672 records.
SELECT CLM_CASE_NO FROM CLAIM_OBJECT.CLM_INVLVD_PRTY_T where CLM_CASE_NO=XXXX; has 2 records.
I am not not understanding why block 2 is throwing error (with no where clause in cursor)
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

As the error message indicates clearly the process was cancelled as you pressed CTRL+C. And yes you can’t see any data you insert in one session from other session until it gets committed. And as others have mentioned row by row operation is very expensive think about revising your approach.
Instead of having a cursor why don’t you join it directly in you select in the insert statement and try?
