I have a trigger that contains two cursors loops, one nested inside the other like this:

FOR outer_rec IN outer_cursor
LOOP
  FOR inner_rec IN inner_cursor
  LOOP
     -- Do some calculations
  END LOOP;

END LOOP;

Somewhere in this it is throwing the following error:

ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows

I've been trying to determine where it's coming from for an hour or so.. but should this error never happen?

Also.. I am assuming the inner loop automatically closes and opens itself again every time the outer loop goes the next record, i hope this is correct.
