Hi,

I'm have a multiple nested select statement which runs fine in TOAD SQL Editor. However, it generates error when I try to run it as cursor in either Portal Dynamic Page / TOAD Stored Procedure. A copy of the sample statement and screen shot is uploaded.

Please assists.

Thank you.

Regards,
CL

It looks like a variable is too small to hold the string. Try removing any unnesessary leading or trailing whitespace in the SQL. If that doesn't help, create a view using your select and then try selecting from the view.

hi Andrew,

It seems like your comment was correct. Because I couldn't have the full coding pasted when I try to copy paste my code into SQL Plus in order to re-produce the same error message for Oracle Metalink.

I'm now intend to create a view as what you advise. However, I wondering on how am I suppose to create the said view table because my data are plugging out from many different tables for each particular person. Meaning, I have to loop it so that I can have something like a row of clean records ( plugged out from many source tables ) for each and every person id that I have in my database.

Please advise.

Regards,
CL

Well, for a start, I suspect your 'XXX' litteral should be replaced with a variavle name. Anything you can do to shorten the SQL could get you below the limit will help. Try shorteniong the SQL just to find where the cutoff is - even if the SQL doesn't return the right answer.
1.) You can create synonyms for the tables and then use those in your SQL (e.g. create synonym paassign_f for apps.per_all_assignments_f).
2.) remove unnecessary alias qualifiers from column names if possible (change pf.last_name to last_name if possible)
3.) replace this repetitive pattern with a view:
(SELECT ppf.person_id
                     FROM apps.per_all_people_f ppf
                    WHERE ppf.employee_number = 'XXX'
                      AND ppf.current_employee_flag = 'Y'
                      AND SYSDATE BETWEEN ppf.effective_start_date
                                      AND ppf.effective_end_date))

create or replace v1 as ((SELECT ppf.person_id, ppf.employee_number
                     FROM apps.per_all_people_f ppf
                    WHERE ppf.current_employee_flag = 'Y'
                      AND SYSDATE BETWEEN ppf.effective_start_date
                                      AND ppf.effective_end_date)));

select person_id from v1 where employee_number = 'XXX'
(use V1 in your big SQL)
