问题
I've got two separate Oracle (v9.2) PL/SQL packages and I'm trying to pass an associative array (ie, index-by table) from a procedure in package1, as a parameter to a procedure in package2. Is this possible? I keep getting PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'ROLLUP_TO_15' when I compile package1.
The array is defined as:
type list_tab is table of number(10)
index by binary_integer;
in both package's spec. In the procedure in package1, I'm calling the second package as package2.rollup_to_15(chanList); That's the line I get the compile error on (chanList is a variable of type list_tab).
In package2, the procedure is defined as:
procedure rollup_to_15(channels in list_tab) is
I'm guessing that my problem is that the type is defined separately in each package, because I can pass the `chanList' variable to other procedures within the first package without any problems.
So, is it possible to pass an associative array between packages? And if so, how?

回答1:
Yes, it's possible for sure.
It's hard to explain why do you receive error without package specs samples, but in general to pass a user-defined type as a parameter you should either with define type DDL, or defining the type in package spec.
I suppose you want the latter variant :)
So here're an example:
create or replace package TestPackage_1
as
type TTestType is table of varchar2(1) index by varchar2(1);
end TestPackage_1;
/
create or replace package TestPackage_2
as
procedure Dummy(aParam TestPackage_1.TTestType);
end TestPackage_2;
/
You can use TTestType type in any PL/SQL block, but not in SQL.
回答2:
"The array is defined as: ... in both package's spec."
This is the source of your problem. PL/SQL regards two separate declarations as two different objects, even though both types have an identical signature. Consequently the engine hurls when you call this:
package2.rollup_to_15(chanList)
Your code has defined the chanList variable as package1.list_tab but the procedure is expecting a variable of type package2.list_tab.
The simplest solution is to declare LIST_TAB just in PACKAGE2, and chnage PACKAGE1 so that chanList is declared appropriately.
