Re: ORA-06550 - while compiling the PL/SQL block.

Question

yes, there are more than one rows that is returned when i do a Select Into statement.
I am trying to resolve by using a cursor C2 inside the already existing cursor C1, i will use a inner loop to get the select statement value to cursor c2 then i will assign the vlaues the variables, then once i read all the values of cursor c2 i will exit inner loop and go to outer loop to read the next value of c1 and then again go to cursor c2 and inner loop.
Do you think it will work ?
Thank you,
rakesh
I have pasted the code below.
Declare
temp1 source.source%type;
temp2 QUOTE_LETTERS_MASTER%rowtype;
Cursor c1 is
Select * from Source;
Begin
open c1;
loop
fetch c1 into temp;
cursor c2 is
select region, version, source from QUOTE_LETTERS_MASTER where SOURCE = temp AND REGION = 'eSource';
open c2;
loop
begin
fetch c2 into temp2;
insert into esource values(temp2.region, temp2.version, temp2.source);
Exception
when no_data_found then
insert into esource values('No esource',' ',temp);
exit when c2%notfound;
end loop;
close c2;
exit when c1%notfound;
end loop;
close c1;
end;
But is giving this error : - ORA-06550: line 10, column 13:
***PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "C2" when expecting one of the following:
***:= . ( @ % ;
***1. Declare***
***2. temp1 source.source%type;
***3. temp2 QUOTE_LETTERS_MASTER%rowtype;

Answer 1

Inner BEGIN block is missing DECLARE:
Declare
temp1 source.source%type;
temp2 QUOTE_LETTERS_MASTER%rowtype;
Cursor c1 is
Select * from Source;
Begin
open c1;
loop
fetch c1 into temp;
<font color=red>Declare</font><br>
cursor c2 is
select region, version, source from QUOTE_LETTERS_MASTER where SOURCE = temp AND REGION = 'eSource';
open c2;
loop
begin
fetch c2 into temp2;
insert into esource values(temp2.region, temp2.version, temp2.source);
Exception
when no_data_found then
insert into esource values('No esource',' ',temp);
exit when c2%notfound;
end loop;
close c2;
exit when c1%notfound;
end loop;
close c1;
end;For example:
