Hi ,
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE p_exception

error_no1 NUMBER := -20001;
error_no2 NUMBER := -20002;
error_no3 NUMBER := -20003;
error_no1 NUMBER := -20004;

error_msg1 varchar2(100) := 'Message 1';
error_msg2 varchar2(100) := 'Message 2';
error_msg3 varchar2(100) := 'Message 3';
error_msg4 varchar2(100) := 'Message 4';

END;
/

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY p_exception
PROCEDURE raise_exception(p_error_in NUMBER, p_message VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL) AS
    
  BEGIN   
   
    RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(p_error_in, p_message);
    
    END;
END;

I have create the above package for ensuring uniqueness while raising RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR. raise_exception procedure would be called from different package.

Do we have any alternative way other than creating package to ensure uniqueness while raising RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR.

I don't want to use the same Error number for throwing a another exception.

For Example if -200001 is already used then I don't want to use the same number for throwing another exception.


Could anyone suggest.

The only way I see is to dissociate the error passed to the procedure and the error raised by the procedure by enumerating the errors in an array inside the procedure itself or a package specification.

But I want to ensure uniqueness at the schema level. The procedure can be called from many other packages within the schema.

OK, this does not change my answer.

You have one package in one schema that lists all the errors and have everything else refer to it.

I am already mentioned the error details in the package specification. But I am asking do we have any other way to maintain uniqueness without using a package specification.

Use an array and its index as error number.

When you want to add a new error you just have to add it to the initialization part of "g_errors" variable.

Hi Michel,
I want to use RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR from different packages[PACKAGE1 , PACKAGE2 , PACKAGE3 etc..]. also want to maintain uniqueness on the error number. And dont want to maintain the error details separately in a pacage.

Then your only other solution is to maintain the errors in a SQL table.

So what is "CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE p_exception..." in your first post?

Currently i have defined all the error details to be raised on a common package specification. But i dont want to go with this method. That is why asking for other way so that i could maintain uniqueness on error number.

You can't maintain uniqueness without maintaining a unique list and referring to it everywhere you raise errors.
There are only two types of objects in oracle that can hold unique lists - arrays and tables.

To use an array it needs to be persistent, global and initialized the first time a session uses it - so it needs a package.
Tables are more permanent but you're still going to need a procedure/function (probably in a package) to control the code that's used to check it.
