Oracle Solution for Error ora-29256

ORA-29256: Cursor contains both regular and array defines which is illegal

What triggered the Error:

th define_array and define_column have been called on this cursor. This is illegal. It is not possible for a cursor to both contain regular and array defines. The semantics of this setting are nonsensical. Array defines are used to move data from select queries into PL/SQL tables and regular defines to move data from select queries into PL/SQL variables.

What should we do to fix it:

dify your PL/SQL program to only perform calls to one of the two functions depending on the situation at hand.
