- PLSQL (bottom of email) compiles fine in local and remote database. - I have PLSQL which is just like this but it does not use the array. dbms_sql.parse@dblink(exec_cursor, p_sql, dbms_sql.native); That one works just fine. No errors. - When I change the PLSQL to this...(below) I get the error. l_cursor := dbms_sql.open_cursor@dblink; dbms_sql.parse@dblink(l_cursor, p_code, 1, p_code.count, false, dbms_sql.native); dbms_sql.close_cursor@dblink(l_cursor); For some reason I can not see the overloaded version of parse over the database link or some sort of implicit type conversion is taking place and it does not recognize the procedure I am trying to call. Anyone seen this before? Solutions? Thanks, Ethan create or replace procedure parse_remote_array (p_code in dbms_sql.varchar2a) is l_cursor pls_integer; i number; begin l_cursor := dbms_sql.open_cursor; dbms_sql.parse(l_cursor, p_code, 1, p_code.count, false, dbms_sql.native); dbms_sql.close_cursor(l_cursor); exception when others then raise; end; /
