    Study Notes

    Conditions and Loops in PL/SQL

    • If v_grade is 'B', the output will be dependent on the specific code being executed.

    Basic Loop

    • The basic loop is used in PL/SQL when there is no condition to be checked before or after the loop execution.
    • Each time the flow of execution reaches the END LOOP statement in a basic loop, the control goes back to the beginning of the loop and the statements are executed again.

    Types of Loops

    • PL/SQL provides two types of loops: basic loop and WHILE loop.

    Cursors

    • The 'OPEN cur_countries(145)' statement is used to open a cursor with the specified parameter.
    • The purpose of opening a cursor is to execute a query and retrieve the results.

    Exit Statement

    • The 'EXIT WHEN cur_emps%NOTFOUND' statement is used to exit the loop when the cursor cur_emps is empty.
    • The %NOTFOUND attribute is used to check if the cursor has fetched all the rows.

    FOR Loop

    • The 'FOR v_emp_record IN cur_emps(10) LOOP' statement is used to iterate over the cursor cur_emps with a maximum of 10 records.

    WHERE Clause

    • The 'WHERE region_id = p_region_id OR population > p_population' clause is used to filter the records based on the specified conditions.

    Basic Loop Exit Condition

    • The EXIT condition should be placed inside the loop body to ensure that the other statements in the loop do not execute after the exit condition is met.

    Ending a Basic Loop

    • The correct way to end a basic loop is to use the EXIT statement.

    WHILE Loop

    • In a WHILE loop, the condition is evaluated at the beginning of each iteration.
    • A BOOLEAN variable or expression is used as the condition in a WHILE loop.
