I'm trying to run a PL/SQL Script I made but I'm getting an error:
PLS-00653: aggregate/table functions are not allowed in PL/SQL scope
The problem here is not the error in itself but the line where it's being thrown from.
Here's my PL/SQL block which throws this error:
DECLARE
TYPE l_code_arr_typ IS VARRAY(3) OF VARCHAR2(100);
l_code_arr l_code_arr_typ;
l_objet objet_interface_pkg.objet_interface_typ;
l_resultat CLOB;
l_valeur valeur_pkg.valeur_typ;
l_liens lien_objet_interface_pkg.lien_objet_interface_tab;
l_rows NUMBER;
BEGIN
l_code_arr := l_code_arr_typ('champ.fonctions.dossier.particulier',
'champ.fonctions.region.admin',
'champ.fonctions.ministere.organisme');
l_resultat := '{';
FOR l_idx IN 1 .. l_code_arr.count LOOP
l_objet := objet_interface_pkg.obtenir_fnc(p_code => l_code_arr(l_idx),
p_acron_sys => :acronyme);
l_resultat := l_resultat || '"' || l_objet.code || '":[';
l_liens := lien_objet_interface_pkg.obtenir_par_objet_fnc(p_id_objet => l_objet.id_obj);
FOR l_lien IN (SELECT * FROM TABLE(l_liens)) LOOP
l_valeur := valeur_pkg.obtenir_fnc(p_id => l_lien.id_valeur);
l_resultat := l_resultat || '"' || l_valeur.valeur || '"';
FOR l_enfant IN (SELECT *
FROM TABLE(valeur_pkg.obtenir_enfants_fnc(p_id_parent => l_lien.id_valeur,
p_code => l_valeur.valeur))) LOOP
l_resultat := l_resultat || ',"' || l_enfant.valeur || '"';
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
l_resultat := l_resultat || '],';
END LOOP;
<<<<<<<<<< ERROR THROWN HERE (EMPTY LINE)
l_resultat := substr(l_resultat, 1, length(l_resultat) - 1) || '}';
dbms_output.put_line(l_resultat);
END;
The error throws on 34:17 (line:column) which is the fourth line from the end of the code block. As you can see the real problem is that this line is an empty line. Moreover, none of the lines near that empty line contains a call to an aggregate function.
So where's the aggregate/table function's call located?
I'm wondering if the problem really comes from my code or if my PL/SQL Developer is broken.
I hope someone can help me...
I found the solution!
The problem is that the function lien_objet_interface_pkg.obtenir_par_objet
is PIPELINED
and a pipelined return cannot be stored in a variable.
So these 2 lines...
l_liens := lien_objet_interface_pkg.obtenir_par_objet_fnc(p_id_objet => l_objet.id_obj);
FOR l_lien IN (SELECT * FROM TABLE(l_liens)) LOOP
...need to be merge into one single line like so:
FOR l_lien IN (SELECT * FROM TABLE(lien_objet_interface_pkg.obtenir_par_objet_fnc(p_id_objet => l_objet.id_obj))) LOOP
However, I still don't know why PL\SQL Developer said my error comes from line 34 and It'll probably remain a mystery. If anyone have answer to this mystery, please feel free to let me know.
