    exceptions clause

    hi

    i tried using the exceptions clause so as to redirect all the invalid queries into the exceptions table . i tried the following steps.
    step 1:
    SQL> @E:\oracle\ora90\rdbms\admin\utlexcpt.sql

    Table created.

    SQL> desc exceptions;
    Name Null? Type
    ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
    ROW_ID ROWID
    OWNER VARCHAR2(30)
    TABLE_NAME VARCHAR2(30)
    CONSTRAINT VARCHAR2(30)

    SQL> alter table hr.emp
    2 enable validate constraint emp_deptno_fk
    3 exceptions into system.exceptions;

    Table altered.

    SQL> set linesize 1000

    SQL> select * from hr.emp;

    EMPNO ENAME JOB MGR HIREDATE SAL COMM DEPTNO
    ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- ----------
    7369 SMITH CLERK 7902 17-DEC-80 3899 20
    7499 ALLEN SALESMAN 7698 20-FEB-81 1600 300 30
    7521 WARD SALESMAN 7698 22-FEB-81 1250 500 30
    7566 JONES MANAGER 7839 02-APR-81 2975 20

    7788 nishant manager 7698 17-NOV-01 5000 0 30
    333 20

    18 rows selected.

    SQL> update hr.emp set deptno=90 where empno=333;
    update hr.emp set deptno=90 where empno=333
    *
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-02291: integrity constraint (HR.EMP_DEPTNO_FK) violated - parent key not found


    SQL> select row_id from exceptions;

    no rows selected

    what could be the problem

    Juat wild guessing...

    Maybe you have an existing exception table in your schema ?

    Did you try "select row_id from system.exceptions;" ?

    Ser :

    I think, u have misread or confused with the Exception Clause.

    It says, when Exception is raised during ENABLE clause, then the ROWIDS are populated into EXCEPTION table.

    Its not when you Issue SQL DML commands.

    PS Below Demo, Hope it will clear your doubt.

    Code:
    TEST_ABHAY> select * from tab;
    
    TNAME                          TABTYPE            CLUSTERID
