EXPERIMENT NO: 7 DATE:
Write a PL/SQL Code using Basic Variable, Anchored Declarations,
and Usage of Assignment Operation.

Introduction
 The PL/SQL programming language was developed by Oracle Corporation in the late
1980s as procedural extension language for SQL.
 PL/SQL is not a stand-alone programming language; it is a tool within the Oracle
programming environment.
 PL/SQL is a block-structured language that is PL/SQL programs are divided into
logical blocks of code.

Structure of a PL/SQL block:

DECLARE
<declaration/initialization of variables>
BEGIN
<executable statements>
EXCEPTION
<exception handling code>
END; --- end of the program.

Declarations: This section starts with the keyword DECLARE. It is an optional section and
defines all variables, cursors, subprograms, and other elements to be used in the program.

Executable block: This section is enclosed between the keywords BEGIN and END and it is a
mandatory section. It consists of the executable PL/SQL statements of the program. It
should have at least one executable line of code

Exception Handling: This section starts with the keyword EXCEPTION. This section is again
optional and contains exception(s) that handle errors in the program.

DATA TYPES
1. Number
2. char
3. varchar2
4. date
5. %type it is to continue the variable data type same as in table

VARIABLE DECLARATION
Syntax for declaring a variable is:
variable_name datatype:=initial_value;

Initializing Variables

a integer := 10;
Example:
msg char(20) := ‘hello world’;

Control structures
 Conditional statements
 Repetitive statements
 Case statements

Conditional statements
1. Simple IF
Syntax:
IF condition THEN
Statements;
END IF;

2. IF-ELSE
Syntax:
IF condition THEN
Statements;
ELSE
Statements;
END IF;

3. IF-ELSE LADDER
Syntax:
IF condition THEN
Statements;
ELSIF condition THEN
Statements;
…
ELSE
Statements;
END IF;

4. CASE STATEMENTS
Syntax:
Case selector
WHEN 'value1' THEN Statements;
WHEN 'value2' THEN Statements;
WHEN 'value3' THEN Statements;
...
ELSE Statements;  default case
END CASE;

LOOPS
1. BASIC LOOP

2. WHILE LOOP
3. FOR LOOP
1. BASIC LOOP
Syntax:
LOOP
Statements;
END LOOP;
2. WHILE LOOP
Syntax:
WHILE condition LOOP
Statements;
END LOOP;
3. FOR LOOP
Syntax:
FOR variable_name IN/IN REVERSE start_value .. end_value
LOOP
Statements;
END LOOP; //for j in reverse 10..1

EXCEPTIONS
Error condition during a program execution is called an exception in PL/SQL.
There are two types of exceptions:
 System-defined exceptions
 User-defined exceptions
Syntax:
DECLARE
<Declarations section>
BEGIN
<Executable Statements>
EXCEPTION
WHEN exception1 THEN
exception1-handling-statements;
WHEN exception2 THEN
exception2-handling-statements;
WHEN exception3 THEN
exception3-handling-statements;
........
END;
