I am getting this error message:

ORA-01007: variable not in select list.

I understand what it means and I have read a few articles on it, but I don't know how to get around it. It is very confusing... This is a PL/SQL page reading values from an Oracle database and putting them in a table, it is a simple 'select * from' query, it worked fine about a week ago and has suddenly stopped working!!

Can anyone enlighten me? Or tell me how to get it working again??

Cheers
Zoe

You must be selecting or fetching INTO something (usually a record type). Your INTO target, whatever it is, doesn't match column for column your SELECT list. Either you changed the table you're fetching from or you changed the INTO target.

I initially looked in the error messages manual, but did not find the error listing.

Your posting here was very straight forward and immediately illuminated my issue, which was readily corrected!

Thanks for your efforts in the Oracle world.

Bingo! This solution worked for me too. I was having the same problem.

Thanks!

Hello. I'd like to ask some help. I'm getting this error too but the weird thing is that it only occurs in the branches (I'm at the data center, our IT office).

Our user is posting the changes in the policy but they wasn't able to post the changes.

I tried to duplicate the error using the same username/password, same data and program but it can't be done. I was able to post the record.

We already checked the SELECT statement and INTO statement. It shows the same number of variables. What can you say about this? Does the location/connection has something to do with it?

Does your user work from a distributed database?
Does (s)he have a local version of your application (if No, did you check? Maybe, if it's a client-server app (s)he decided things would run smoother when running things locally)

We are running in a centralized database. All branches are connected to the data center.

They don't have it in the local machine because all application are dump in the branch server. They connect to the server to access the application
