Unable to access another database 'ROWTYPE'

achanaJul 29 2014 — edited Aug 1 2014

Hi all, I am using SQLDeveloper 3.2.20 on Oracle 11gR2 and Windows 7 Prof sp1 and 'til now, smooth sailing.

I am using the SCOTT/tiger account i.e. limited access, definitely no sysdba role privilege.

I am practising the use of explicit cursors and my codes generate following errors:

Error report:

ORA-06550: line 5, column 17:

PLS-00352: Unable to access another database 'ROWTYPE'

ORA-06550: line 5, column 17:

PLS-00201: identifier 'EMP_CURSOR@ROWTYPE' must be declared

This is the code ( I tried orcl.scott.emp_cursor@ROWTYPE, but that didn't work either)

set serveroutput on;

DECLARE

  CURSOR emp_cursor IS

    SELECT empno, ename

    FROM   scott.emp;

  v_emp_record  emp_cursor@ROWTYPE;  -- don't even try them 1-by-1

  v_sqlcode   number;

  v_errm      varchar2(64);

BEGIN

  IF NOT emp_cursor%ISOPEN THEN         -- FETCH rows only when cursor is open!

    OPEN emp_cursor;

  END IF;

  LOOP

    FETCH emp_cursor INTO v_emp_record; -- gets the 1st row in cursor!

    EXIT WHEN emp_cursor%NOTFOUND OR emp_cursor%NOTFOUND IS NULL; -- in case no rows

    INSERT INTO tmp_list (empid, empname)  -- insert into a temporary list

      VALUES (v_emp_record.empno, v_emp_record.ename);

  END LOOP;

  COMMIT;

  CLOSE emp_cursor;

EXCEPTION

    when others then

       v_sqlcode := SQLCODE;

       v_errm := SUBSTR(SQLERRM, 1 , 64);

       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('SQL code ' || v_sqlcode || '  ' || v_errm);

END;

/

I am beginning to suspect this is a "access privilege" thing.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
