LIMIT v15

LIMIT is a method that returns the maximum number of elements permitted in a collection. LIMIT applies only to varrays. The syntax for using LIMIT is:

<collection>.LIMIT

Where collection is the name of a collection.

For an initialized varray, LIMIT returns the maximum size limit determined by the varray type definition. If the varray is uninitialized (that is, it's a null varray), an exception is thrown.

For an associative array or an initialized nested table, LIMIT returns NULL. If the nested table is uninitialized (that is, it's a null nested table), an exception is thrown.
