RE: [sqr-users] ORA-01013 and SQR 3725 errors

My DBA has suggested something about a "data leak" (ie, 
moving a value into a field not large enough) but that just doesn't make 
sense to me as we define variables on the fly and if a temp table value 
wasn't large enough, I'd get an error that made sense.

Your DBA is describing a buffer overflow, not a data/ memory leak.  A memory 
leak occurs when you allocate memory for something, and it never gets released. 
 Recursive programs or programming can also lead to wild memory use (although 
not specifically leaks).

If there is a memory leak, you'd find it in function calls that set dynamic 
variables like arrays, but never release the (array) memory properly.
