Lecture-17 PLSQL CONDITIONAL CONTROL

The document discusses different forms of the PL/SQL IF statement for conditional control. The IF statement allows executing or skipping statements depending on a condition. The forms are: IF-THEN, IF-THEN-ELSE, and IF-THEN-ELSIF. Examples are provided to illustrate setting sales commission amounts using different IF conditions on sales revenue amounts. Nested IF statements are also possible by placing an IF statement within another IF statement.

PL/SQL CONDITIONAL CONTROL

PL/SQL IF Statement

The IF statement allows you to either execute or skip a sequence of statements,


depending on a condition. The IF statement has the three forms:

– IF THEN
– IF THEN ELSE
– IF THEN ELSIF
PL/SQL IF THEN STATEMENT

The following illustrates the structure of the IF THEN statement:

IF condition THEN
statements;
END IF;
The condition is a Boolean expression that always evaluates to TRUE, FALSE, or NULL.

If the condition evaluates to TRUE, the statements after the THEN execute. Otherwise, the
IF statement does nothing.
PL/SQL IF THEN STATEMENT
EXAMPLE
In the following example, the statements between THEN and END IF execute
because the sales revenue is greater than 100,000.
DECLARE n_sales NUMBER := 2000000;
BEGIN
   IF n_sales > 100000 THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( 'Sales revenue is greater than 100K ' );
   END IF;
END;
PL/SQL IF THEN ELSE
STATEMENT
The IF THEN ELSE statement has the following structure:

IF condition THEN
statements;
ELSE
else_statements;
END IF;
If the condition evaluates to TRUE, then the statements between THEN and ELSE execute.
In case the condition evaluates to FALSE or NULL, the else_statements between ELSE and
END IF executes.
IF THEN ELSE STATEMENT
EXAMPLE
The following example sets the sales commission to 10% if the sales revenue is greater than 200,000. Otherwise, the
sales commission is set to 5%.
DECLARE
  n_sales NUMBER := 300000;
  n_commission NUMBER( 10, 2 ) := 0;
BEGIN
  IF n_sales > 200000 THEN
    n_commission := n_sales * 0.1;
  ELSE
    n_commission := n_sales * 0.05;
  END IF;
END;
PL/SQL IF THEN ELSIF
STATEMENT
The following illustrates the structure of the IF THEN ELSIF statement:

IF condition_1 THEN
statements_1
ELSIF condition_2 THEN
statements_2
[ ELSIF condition_3 THEN
statements_3
]
...
[ ELSE
else_statements
]
END IF;
IF THEN ELSIF STATEMENT
EXAMPLE
The following example uses the IF THEN ELSIF statement to set the sales commission based on the sales revenue.
DECLARE
n_sales NUMBER := 300000;
n_commission NUMBER( 10, 2 ) := 0;
BEGIN
IF n_sales > 200000 THEN
n_commission := n_sales * 0.1;
ELSIF n_sales <= 200000 AND n_sales > 100000 THEN
n_commission := n_sales * 0.05;
ELSIF n_sales <= 100000 AND n_sales > 50000 THEN
n_commission := n_sales * 0.03;
ELSE
n_commission := n_sales * 0.02;
END IF;
END;
NESTED IF STATEMENT

You can nest an IF statement within another IF statement as shown below:

IF condition_1 THEN
IF condition_2 THEN
nested_if_statements;
END IF;
ELSE
else_statements;
END IF;
