But I am playing around with FORALL and BULK COLLECT. I am trying to convert character values to numeric ones and then update a table with the numeric values. The character data can have up to 10 digits to the right of the decimal point so I am trying to convert that to a number and round it to 6 digits of accuracy. There are also some NULL values in those character fields. I have a table that has (among others) these columns defined: desc risksr ID_BUILDING NUMBER(10) LOCLATITUDE VARCHAR2(25) LOCLONGITUDE VARCHAR2(25) I have the following declarations in my pl/sql code: TYPE id_type IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER; TYPE lat_type IS TABLE OF NUMBER(10,6) INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER; TYPE long_type IS TABLE OF NUMBER(10,6) INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER; b_id_data id_type; b_lat_data lat_type; b_long_data long_type; And my select statement is: SELECT id_building, NVL(ROUND(TO_NUMBER(loclatitude), 6), 99999), NVL(ROUND(TO_NUMBER(loclongitude), 6), 99999) BULK COLLECT INTO b_id_data, b_lat_data, b_long_data FROM risksr; When I try to run this, I get: DECLARE * ERROR at line 1: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: Bulk bind: Error in define ORA-06512: at line 102 102 is the line where my select statement is. I've been OTN'ing, Metalink'ing and google'ing with no luck on this error. Is it wrong to try and convert the data during a BULK COLLECT operation? Any other ideas/pointers/suggestions welcome as well. Thanks, -joe Confidentiality Note: This message contains information that may be confidential and/or privileged.
