apparently, pls-00801: internal error [phdcsql_print_kge_errors::parm pos] is one of the most annoying oracle errors. off course, phdcsql_print_kge_errors::parm pos is just an example that can be replcaed with any other undecipherable set characters.<\/p>\n
Oracle’s official error description is:<\/p>\n
Cause: This is a generic internal error that might occur during compilation or execution. The first parameter is the internal error number.<\/p>\n
Action: Report this error as a bug to your Customer Support representative. <\/p>\n
While it might be very tempting to contact Oracle Support, many users will prefer to try and solve the problem without opening a service request and waiting for an answer.
\nBasically, what this error means is that there is a problem with this query but Oracle is having problem describing the error. The result is a generic (and not really helpful ) error message.
\nLike any generic error description, many reasons can cause the problem. The only solution is trying to identify the problem yourself by trial and error.<\/p>\n
Copy the query part of the code to a separate window and try to tweak it without changing the basics: change tables order, change aliases names, comment what you can or run it without variables. Even if this will not solve the problem, sometimes this can provide a more informative error message.
\nUsing this method I have found several issues that caused pls-00801 internal error. I am writing a few in order to provide some list of things that can cause this error:<\/p>\n
1)\tThe query used a remote database using a db link and the database link user did not have proper permissions.
\n2)\tExtra not visible control characters that were added to the code during a problematic copy-paste from the web or from Word.
\n3)\tExtra characters that might have different meaning in oracle like:&,”,_ etc.
\n4)\t Extra spaces
\n5)\tInvalid objects on remote database
\n6)\tSeveral known Oracle bugs (search metalink for the error)
\n7) An error on a remote database can not be displayed.
\n8)\tYour entry here …<\/p>\n
