pl/sql object types "ORA-06530: Reference to uninitialized composite" error
- by mutoss
hi,
i have a type as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE tbusiness_inter_item_bag AS OBJECT (
item_id NUMBER,
system_event_cd VARCHAR2 (20),
CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION tbusiness_inter_item_bag RETURN SELF AS RESULT
);
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE BODY tbusiness_inter_item_bag
AS
CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION tbusiness_inter_item_bag RETURN SELF AS RESULT
AS
BEGIN
RETURN;
END;
END;
when i execute the following script, i got a "Reference to uninitialized composite" error, which is imho quite suitable.
DECLARE
item tbusiness_inter_item_bag;
BEGIN
item.system_event_cd := 'ABC';
END;
This also raises the same error:
item.item_id := 3;
But if i change my object type into:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE tbusiness_inter_item_bag AS OBJECT (
item_id NUMBER(1),
system_event_cd VARCHAR2 (20),
CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION tbusiness_inter_item_bag RETURN SELF AS RESULT
);
then the last statement raises no more error (where my "item" is still uninitialized):
item.item_id := 3;
Shouldn't i get the same ORA-06530 error?
