All Oracle errors
ORA-01403plsql

No data found

ORA-01403: no data found

Why it happens

A SELECT INTO or a CURSOR selection inside PL/SQL returned zero rows, which raises this error instead of a NULL result.

How to fix it

Add an EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN handler, switch to SELECT ... INTO after guaranteeing a row, or use a cursor FOR loop / aggregate so zero rows are not an exception.

A note on ORA-01403

This entry is part of a hand-curated set of ORA-, FRM-, REP- and TNS- codes that actually turn up in production Oracle estates — SQL*Plus, APEX, 19c/21c, ODP.NET apps, Oracle Forms 6i/12c and Reports included. The message text above is the canonical wording; the cause and fix are written in plain language so a developer or DBA can act without digging through pages of Oracle reference docs first.

Codes outside this list of 44 are far less common. If you hit one, the official Oracle error reference and your instance's alert or listener log remain the authoritative source.
