Collection in trigger

Question

Greetings,
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0 - 64bit Production
I am writing a trigger as below but gives me error
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER ABHI_TEST
BEFORE INSERT ON abhi_TAB
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
type abhi_trig_rec is record (
pcode number,
scode number,
c_type number,
MIN_VARIANCE float,
MAX_VARIANCE float,
FINAL_CHARGE float,
START_TIME_STAMP date,
END_TIME_STAMP date);
TYPE ABHI_TRIG IS VARRAY(50) OF abhi_trig_rec ;
  REV_trig ABHI_TRIG:=ABHI_TRIG();
BEGIN
SELECT pcode,scode,c_type, MIN_VARIANCE,MAX_VARIANCE,FINAL_CHARGE,START_TIME_STAMP,END_TIME_STAMP
bulk collect into REV_trig FROM NEW_TAB
WHERE rownum<40;
FOR i IN REV_trig.FIRST..REV_trig.LAST
LOOP
  {BUSINESS LOGIC}
END LOOP;
END;ERROR :- PLS-00597: expression 'REV_TRIG' in INTO list is of wrong type
Thanks in advance for any help

Answer 1

The workd CODE in the tag must be in lower case like this <font color=red>{noformat}{noformat}</font>
SELECT pcode,scode,c_type, MIN_VARIANCE,MAX_VARIANCE,FINAL_CHARGE,START_TIME_STAMP,END_TIME_STAMP
bulk collect into REV_trig FROM NEW_TAB
WHERE rownum<40;
For your version of oracle you need to have seperate collection type for each column in the select list. Which means you need to have 8 collection variable defined.
Something like thisselect pcode
, scode
, c_type
, min_variance
, max_variance
, final_charge
, start_time_stamp
, end_time_stamp
bulk
collect
into pcode_collection_var
, scode_collection_var
, c_type_collection_var
, min_variance_collection_var
, max_variance_collection_var
, final_charge_collection_var
, start_time_stamp_collection_var
, end_time_stamp_collection_var
from new_tab
where rownum < 40;
And What is this
where rownum < 40;
Why have you limited your rows based on rownum?
