Oracle 中VARRAY的 NOT NULL之惑


如果在定义VARRAY的时候带上NOT NULL限制,那么这个VARRAY的元素就不能为NULL.

如下定义:

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE integer_varray
  AS VARRAY(5) OF INTEGER NOT NULL;
/

然后有一个PLSQL块如下:

DECLARE

  -- Declare and initialize a null set of rows.
  varray_integer INTEGER_VARRAY := integer_varray();

BEGIN

  -- Loop through all records to print the varray contents.
  FOR i IN 1..varray_integer.LIMIT LOOP

    -- Initialize row.
    varray_integer.EXTEND;

 /*没有赋值,如果不赋值是NULL的话,应该编译错误啊,结果是顺利通过编译*/

  END LOOP;

 

    -- Print to console how many rows are initialized.
    dbms_output.put     ('Integer Varray Initialized ');
    dbms_output.put_line('['||varray_integer.COUNT||']');
   
    --varray_integer(1):=null;
   
    FOR i IN 1..varray_integer.COUNT LOOP

    -- Print the contents.
    dbms_output.put     ('Integer Varray ['||i||'] ');
    dbms_output.put_line('['||varray_integer(i)||']');
   
    if(varray_integer(i) is null) then

   /*本来是认为这里应该不执行,结果会打印出来*/
          dbms_output.put_line('Integer Varray ['||i||'] '|| 'is null');
    end if;

  END LOOP;

END;
/

运行结果如下:/*运行也正常,显示元素为NULL,于定义矛盾*/

Integer Varray Initialized [5]
Integer Varray [1] []
Integer Varray [1] is null
Integer Varray [2] []
Integer Varray [2] is null
Integer Varray [3] []
Integer Varray [3] is null
Integer Varray [4] []
Integer Varray [4] is null
Integer Varray [5] []
Integer Varray [5] is null
