Hi list, I'm looking to implement some global error handling code with a database (9.2.0.7) AFTER SERVERERROR trigger. My question relates to a PL/SQL situation in which the trigger does not fire. If I have code such as this ... SELECT xxx INTO l_var FROM some_table WHERE ... If this returns no rows, in PL/SQL I get an exception raised (NO_DATA_FOUND). However, as it states in the documentation, this does *not* cause the AFTER SERVERERROR trigger to fire. The documentation says this is because this error (1403) along with 1422 and 1423 are not 'true errors'. Well, for something that is not a true error, they certainly stop the PL/SQL engine in its tracks. About the only solution I can think of is to do something like this ... : BEGIN SELECT xxx INTO l_var FROM some_table WHERE ... EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN RAISE a_REAL_exception; WHEN TOO_MANY_ROWS THEN RAISE another_REAL_exception; END; : A bit of a nuisance :-( Does anyone else have a better idea?
