Oracle Designer Collection problem

Question

Hi all,
this is my first post in this forum, but I've been using it a lot and I'd like to thank everyone that have always helped me through their posts.
Now I have come to a problem to which I can't find a solution...
My problem is the following:
My goal is to import a data model. To do this I have to create certain objects in Oracle Designer, prior to importing the model itself. The reason for this is that if this certain object isn't created, the import itself fails on a given table.
More objectively, the object I'm trying to create in the "Server model" in the "Oracle Collection Type" is a VARRAY of 999999 elements of RAW(2000).
When I try to create this object, I get the following error:
Message
RME-00209: Current activity has outstanding violations
Cause
Could not 'commit' the data because of outstanding
data integrity violations.
Action
Examine violations, fix the invalid data, and try again.
Message
RME-00224: Failed to close activity
Cause
Could not close ('commit') an activity.
Action
Examine other reported errors for specific details.
Message
CDA-00500: Invalid format type <RAW>
Cause
The specified format type is not valid.
Action
Refer to the format type rules in the Designer Meta-model and
API documentation.
This error is on Designer 9.0.2.10 and on Oracle 9.2.0.7 database
If I try the same thing on Designer 10.1.2.4 and on Oracle 10.2.0.1, I get the following:
Message
RME-00020: Internal API error - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: erro numérico ou de valor : o buffer da cadeia de caracteres é demasiado pequeno
Cause
The API has detected an internal inconsistency.
Action
Check the detail of the associated Oracle Server error message
(ORA-xxxxx) and resolve it.
Message

Cause

Action
Examine other reported errors for specific details.
Message
RME-00222: Failed to dispatch operation to Repository
Cause

Message

Message

Cause
The specified format type is not valid.
Action
Refer to the format type rules in the Designer Meta-model and
API documentation.
If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated.
Best regards to all of you,

Hi Michael. Thank you for your reply.
Nevertheless, I think that what you say is not correct since I can create a VARRAY of NUMBER datatype; the only thing I can't create is a VARRAY of RAW datatype.
Can you, or anyone, comment on this?
Thank you.
Regards,
Filipe
