Every VARCHAR2(N) Declaration a Bug!?
That's right. VARCHAR2 declarations mean that you have to provide an "N" or constraint on the size of the variable. If you have such declarations all over your code, that's a form of hard-coding and you are likely to get hammered by VALUE_ERROR exceptions. This video shows how to fix this problem. See the Practically Perfect PL/SQL YouTube channel for related videos. / @practicallyperfectplsql
