Antw: Weird behavior with VARCHAR fields (was: ORA-01403

2003-09-10 Thread Guido Konsolke
Hi Fermin, given that I understand you correctly: pl/sql DOES exactly what you want: it returns 0 rows. That results in a exception called NO_DATA_FOUND and is assigned to the ORA-01403 error. To get a result '0' you have to query the table using 'Count'. Greetings, Guido [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Fermin, The pl/sql manual has an appendix on char versus varchar2 semantics. I guess SQL*Plus isn't as restrictive(?) and I gues the behaviour might have changed since 7.3. I wonder why baan uses char datatypes chaim Guido Konsolke [EMAIL PROTECTED] @fatcity.com on 09/10/2003 10:14:24 AM
