Fix for "The better quality empty array" available!

Some of you may have read my post from last October The "better quality" empty array - or: Why doing nasty things can help avoiding ORA-00600!

In there I told you how you can identify the cause and how to build a workaround around the ORA-00600 [pmus.c#101] and/or ORA-00600 [pmus.c#103] errors while using arrays in packages. Now I want you to update about this error.

The error was officially accepted as a bug, you can find that at support.oracle.com:

→ Bug 27242226 : ORA-600[PMUS.C#103] WHILE CREATING/EXECUTING PACKAGE IN SINGLE BYTE CHARACTERSET.

The good news - this bug is fixed for Oracle DB Version 19 and you can download the patch for 12.1.0.2 and 12.2.0.1 as a fix, if you need it for any special version, open a SR and ask the support to get it backported. 

To download the patch, just have a look at Unexpected ORA-00600[pmus.C#103] Raised While Executing a Package Having Collection Variables Used in Assignment Statement (Doc ID 2437530.1)
