The "the()" operator, which changed to the "table()" operator in 8.1 takes a single value that has to be a nested table or varray as its operand. What you are casting is the single row and single column that you select from dual, but that single item is the result of casting a result set into a

Please correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't you want to use the following...   FOR UPDATE NOWAIT   if the row is being updated/locked, you can report that to the user, and re-query the data to ensure they still want to update it.  Otherwise, with just FOR UPDATE, the first update gets ov
