Predefined PL/SQL Exceptions


An internal exception is raised implicitly whenever your PL/SQL program violates an Oracle rule or exceeds a system-dependent limit. Every Oracle error has a number, but exceptions must be handled by name. So, PL/SQL predefines some common Oracle errors as exceptions. For example, PL/SQL raises the predefined exception NO_DATA_FOUNDif a SELECT INTO statement returns no rows.


To handle other Oracle errors, you can use the OTHERS handler. The functions SQLCODE and SQLERRM are especially useful in the OTHERS handler because they return the Oracle error code and message text. Alternatively, you can use the pragma EXCEPTION_INIT to associate exception names with Oracle error codes.


PL/SQL declares predefined exceptions globally in package STANDARD, which defines the PL/SQL environment. So, you need not declare them yourself. You can write handlers for predefined exceptions using the names in the following list:

Brief descriptions of the predefined exceptions follow:


ExceptionRaised when ...

ACCESS_INTO_NULL

Your program attempts to assign values to the attributes of an uninitialized (atomically null) object.

CASE_NOT_FOUND

None of the choices in the WHEN clauses of a CASE statement is selected, and there is no ELSE clause.

COLLECTION_IS_NULL

Your program attempts to apply collection methods other than EXISTS to an uninitialized (atomically null) nested table or varray, or the program attempts to assign values to the elements of an uninitialized nested table or varray.

CURSOR_ALREADY_OPEN

Your program attempts to open an already open cursor. A cursor must be closed before it can be reopened. A cursor FOR loop automatically opens the cursor to which it refers. So, your program cannot open that cursor inside the loop.

DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX

Your program attempts to store duplicate values in a database column that is constrained by a unique index.

INVALID_CURSOR

Your program attempts an illegal cursor operation such as closing an unopened cursor.

INVALID_NUMBER

In a SQL statement, the conversion of a character string into a number fails because the string does not represent a valid number. (In procedural statements, VALUE_ERROR is raised.) This exception is also raised when the LIMIT-clause expression in a bulk FETCH statement does not evaluate to a positive number.

LOGIN_DENIED

Your program attempts to log on to Oracle with an invalid username and/or password.

NO_DATA_FOUND

A SELECT INTO statement returns no rows, or your program references a deleted element in a nested table or an uninitialized element in an index-by table. SQL aggregate functions such as AVG and SUM always return a value or a null. So, a SELECT INTO statement that calls an aggregate function never raises NO_DATA_FOUND. The FETCH statement is expected to return no rows eventually, so when that happens, no exception is raised.

NOT_LOGGED_ON

Your program issues a database call without being connected to Oracle.

PROGRAM_ERROR

PL/SQL has an internal problem.

ROWTYPE_MISMATCH

The host cursor variable and PL/SQL cursor variable involved in an assignment have incompatible return types. For example, when an open host cursor variable is passed to a stored subprogram, the return types of the actual and formal parameters must be compatible.

SELF_IS_NULL

Your program attempts to call a MEMBER method on a null instance. That is, the built-in parameter SELF (which is always the first parameter passed to a MEMBER method) is null.

STORAGE_ERROR

PL/SQL runs out of memory or memory has been corrupted.

SUBSCRIPT_BEYOND_COUNT

Your program references a nested table or varray element using an index number larger than the number of elements in the collection.

SUBSCRIPT_OUTSIDE_LIMIT

Your program references a nested table or varray element using an index number (-1 for example) that is outside the legal range.

SYS_INVALID_ROWID

The conversion of a character string into a universal rowid fails because the character string does not represent a valid rowid.

TIMEOUT_ON_RESOURCE

A time-out occurs while Oracle is waiting for a resource.

TOO_MANY_ROWS

A SELECT INTO statement returns more than one row.

VALUE_ERROR

An arithmetic, conversion, truncation, or size-constraint error occurs. For example, when your program selects a column value into a character variable, if the value is longer than the declared length of the variable, PL/SQL aborts the assignment and raises VALUE_ERROR. In procedural statements, VALUE_ERROR is raised if the conversion of a character string into a number fails. (In SQL statements, INVALID_NUMBER is raised.)

ZERO_DIVIDE

Your program attempts to divide a number by zero.
