PL/SQL Version 2 allows some abnormal behavior that Version 8 disallows. If you want to retain that behavior for backward compatibility, set `PLSQL_V2_COMPATIBILITY` to `TRUE`. If you set it to `FALSE`, PL/SQL V8 behavior is enforced and V2 behavior is not allowed.
See Also: PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference for a description of the differences between PL/SQL Versions 2 and 8, and for more information on setting this parameter.
