Re: I want a TOO_MANY_ROWS error

If you do that SQL STATEMENT, that should happend ...

DECLARE
/* Declaration part */
  strField VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
/* Start the query */
select
  stef into strField
from
  (
/* Stupid UNION from dual, but just to ensure the result will be 2 records */

    select 'toto' as stef from dual
    UNION
    select 'tata' as stef from dual
  );
END; If the error doesn't happend in that case, maybe you have a magic Oracle ... ;)

Else, that should mean your query doesn't return more than 1 line ...
