ORA-01002: Fetch out of sequence

What it means

A fetch was done on a cursor that is already exhausted or no longer valid, often after a COMMIT on a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE cursor, or JDBC autocommit with FOR UPDATE.

How to fix it

Do not commit while looping over a FOR UPDATE cursor; disable autocommit for such cursors; stop fetching after NOTFOUND.
