ORA-06512: at "SCHEMA.PROC", line N

A stack-trace line from PL/SQL — the real error is the ORA- code above it.

Seen on: SQL

Meaning

ORA-06512 never appears alone; it tells you where in PL/SQL the preceding error (e.g. ORA-01403, ORA-06502) was raised.

Common causes

  • Underlying PL/SQL error (no data found, value error)
  • Unhandled exception in a procedure/trigger

⚡ Quick fix

  1. Read the first ORA- error in the stack
  2. Add exception handling for expected cases (NO_DATA_FOUND)

Detailed fix by platform

SQL

  1. EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN v_total := 0;

How to diagnose

  1. First error — Which ORA- code precedes it?
  2. Line — Which statement?
