Hi All,

I have 2 questions here...

1. Is it mandatory to have poplist column datatype as Char ? I was selecting a number datatype column in a query of a record group and while populating it to list item ( which is also of number type) I was getting an error - "FRM-41335 : Populate_List : invalid column type for column 1". When I changed the query to select to_char(column1)..., I could get rid of this error. This seems to be working fine with 6i i.e. selecting number type.

2. I need to populate a list item (using record group and populate_list) with around 100 thousand records. While populating this I'm getting an error "FRM 93652: The runtime process has terminated abnormally". Is this not feasible to do this way? Is there any alternative to achieve this result?. I don't see this error if I put a filter condition so that it populates less records.

Thanks,
Rashi

1) It should work with number as far as I'm aware
2) 100,000 rows in a list item sounds unworkable, it's probably running out of memory, use an LOV instead.

Personally I'd never use a list item for anything more than about 20 values, and I'd certainly never go past a 100. LOV's are a lot more user friendly for a lot of values.

Yes, LOV should be ideal for such large values, easy to filter and select. I'll see if they are fine with it (should be).

Thanks Smile
