Hi,

I am running a job on my published database. The job executes few lines of code which selects records from a table writes into a txt file. Am using cursor to traverse the record set. At some point the job is stopping (failing) with the message

"Could not complete cursor operation because the table schema changed after the cursor was declared"

Any idea about the issue.

Thanks in advance,
Shobha

the error message is obvious. Are you doing any DDL operations inside your cursor?

Bulk insertion of data using package from one database to other , sometimes gives this kind of error. If any query is going to alter the Table that you should use trigger.
