Oracle PL SQL Pre-Defined Exceptions

I am just listing down some of the frequently faced Oracle PL SQL Internal/System Defined Exceptions:

ExceptionRaised when ...

COLLECTION_IS_NULL
Your program attempts to apply collection methods other than EXISTS to an uninitialized (atomically null) nested table or varray, or the program attempts to assign values to the elements of an uninitialized nested table or varray.
CURSOR_ALREADY_OPEN
Your program attempts to open an already open cursor. A cursor must be closed before it can be reopened. A cursor FOR loop automatically opens the cursor to which it refers. So, your program cannot open that cursor inside the loop.
INVALID_CURSOR
Your program attempts an illegal cursor operation such as closing an unopened cursor.
INVALID_NUMBER
In a SQL statement, the conversion of a character string into a number fails because the string does not represent a valid number. (In procedural statements, VALUE_ERROR is raised.) This exception is also raised when the LIMIT-clause expression in a bulk FETCH statement does not evaluate to a positive number.
NO_DATA_FOUND
A SELECT INTO statement returns no rows, or your program references a deleted element in a nested table or an uninitialized element in an index-by table. SQL aggregate functions such as AVG and SUM always return a value or a null. So, a SELECT INTO statement that calls an aggregate function never raises NO_DATA_FOUND. The FETCH statement is expected to return no rows eventually, so when that happens, no exception is raised.
SUBSCRIPT_BEYOND_COUNT
Your program references a nested table or varray element using an index number larger than the number of elements in the collection.
TOO_MANY_ROWS
A SELECT INTO statement returns more than one row.
VALUE_ERROR
An arithmetic, conversion, truncation, or size-constraint error occurs. For example, when your program selects a column value into a character variable, if the value is longer than the declared length of the variable, PL/SQL aborts the assignment and raises VALUE_ERROR. In procedural statements, VALUE_ERROR is raised if the conversion of a character string into a number fails. (In SQL statements, INVALID_NUMBER is raised.)
