I get a version-specific glitch ( works in 816, fails in 805 )
for a call to the DBMS_UTILITY.GET_TIME built-in:
######################
SQL> select dbms_utility.get_time from dual;
select dbms_utility.get_time from dual
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06571: Function GET_TIME does not guarantee not to update database
######################
Any ideas why 80520 doesn't like this?
TIA,
- Ross
p.s. a simple assignment, like, for example time := DBMS_UTILITY.GET_TIME;
fails as well.
p.p.s I know how to use V$TIMER, so i am looking for a "why this doesn't work"
not a "How to fix it by using V$TIMER" answer.
