Bulk Collect with FORALL not working - Not enough values error
175456Jan 19 2011 — edited Jan 20 2011Hi,
I am trying to copy data from one table to another which are having different number of columns. I am doing the following. But it threw not enough values error.
Table A has more than 10 millions of records. So I am using bulk collect instead of using insert into select from.
TABLE A (has more columns - like 25)
c1 Number
c2 number
c3 varchar2
c4 varchar2
...
...
...
c25 varchar2
TABLE B (has less columns - like 7)
c1 Number
c2 number
c3 varchar2
c4 varchar2
c5 number
c7 date
c10 varchar2
declare
TYPE c IS REF CURSOR;
v_c c;
v_Sql VARCHAR2(2000);
TYPE array is table of B%ROWTYPE;
l_data array;
begin
v_Sql := 'SELECT c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c7, c10 FROM A ORDER BY c1';
OPEN v_c FOR v_Sql;
LOOP
FETCH v_c BULK COLLECT INTO ldata LIMIT 100000;
FORALL i in 1 .. ldata.count
INSERT
INTO B
VALUES ldata(i);
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
exception
WHEN OTHERS THEN
ROLLBACK;
dbms_output.put_line('Exception Occurred' || SQLERRM);
END;
When I execute this, I am getting
PL/SQL: ORA-00947: not enough values
Any suggestions please. Thanks in advance.
