Error while fetching data into collection type.

Question

Hi all,
I'm facing a problem while i'm fetching data into a table type.
Open c1;
open c2;
loop
Fetch c1 into partition_name_1;
fetch c2 into partition_name_2;
exit when c1%notfound or c2%notfound;
open C1_refcursor for 'select a.col1,b.col2 from table1 partition('||partition_name_1||') a, table2 partition('||partition_name_2) b
where a.col2=b.col2';
loop
fetch c1_refcursor BULK COLLECT into v1,v2 <-----This is the line where i'm getting the error as "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected"
limit 100000;
exit when v1.count=0;
forall i in 1..v1.count
end loop;
i also checked the data type of the table variable its same as the column selected in the refcursor.
Please help me out.

Ok I see that, but I don't think you can use associative arrays in this manner then, because you cannot select data directly into an associative_array.
As far as I'm aware, they must be assigned an index and the error suggests to me that its missing an index.
You can select directly into records and maybe this is where you need to go.
