Study Notes

Oracle PL/SQL Programming

  • A declaration section is used to declare a cursor, emp_cursor, which retrieves all records from the emp table.
  • The v_emp_name variable is declared to store the employee name, and its data type is set to match the ename column in the emp table.
  • A FOR loop is used to iterate through the records in the emp_cursor cursor.
  • Within the loop, the v_emp_name variable is assigned the value of the current employee's name (emp_rec.ename).
  • After the loop, the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE function is used to display the name of the last employee processed.
  • An EXCEPTION block is used to handle the INVALID_CURSOR error, which is raised if the cursor is not valid.
  • If the INVALID_CURSOR error occurs, the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE function is used to display an error message, 'CURSOR NO VALIDO'.
