  1. Rewrite the following IF statements so that you do not use an IF statement to set the value of no_revenue . What is the difference between these two statements? How does that difference affect your answer?
    IF total_sales <= 0
    THEN
       no_revenue := TRUE;
    ELSE
       no_revenue := FALSE;
    END IF;
    
    IF total_sales <= 0
    THEN
       no_revenue := TRUE;
    ELSIF total_sales > 0
    THEN
       no_revenue := FALSE;
    END IF;
  2. Rewrite the following IF statement to work as efficiently as possible under all conditions, given the following information: the calc_totalsnumeric function takes three minutes to return its value, while the overdue_balance Boolean function returns TRUE/FALSE in less than a second.
    IF calc_totals (1994, company_id_in => 1005) AND
       NOT overdue_balance (company_id_in => 1005) 
    THEN
       display_sales_figures (1005);
    ELSE
       contact_vendor;
    END IF;
  3. Rewrite the following IF statement to get rid of unnecessary nested IFs:
    IF salary < 10000 
    THEN 
       bonus := 2000;
    ELSE
       IF salary < 20000 
       THEN 
          bonus := 1500;
       ELSE
          IF salary < 40000 
          THEN 
             bonus := 1000;
          ELSE
             bonus := 500;
          END IF;
       END IF;
    END IF;
  4. Which procedure will never be executed in this IF statement?
    IF (order_date > SYSDATE) AND order_total >= min_order_total
    THEN
       fill_order (order_id, 'HIGH PRIORITY');
    ELSIF (order_date < SYSDATE) OR
          (order_date = SYSDATE)
    THEN
       fill_order (order_id, 'LOW PRIORITY');
    ELSIF order_date <= SYSDATE AND order_total < min_order_total
    THEN
       queue_order_for_addtl_parts (order_id);

A.1.2 Loops

  1. How many times does the following loop execute?
    FOR year_index IN REVERSE 12 .. 1
    LOOP
       calc_sales (year_index);
    END LOOP:
  2. Select the type of loop (FOR, WHILE, simple) appropriate to meet each of the following requirements:
    1. Set the status of each company whose company IDs are stored in a PL/SQL table to closed.
    2. For each of twenty years in the loan-processing cycle, calculate the outstanding loan balance for the specified customer. If the customer is a preferred vendor, stop the calculations after twelve years.
    3. Display the name and address of each employee returned by the cursor.
    4. Scan through the list of employees in the PL/SQL table, keeping count of all salaries greater than $50,000. Don't even start the scan, though, if the table is empty or if today is a Saturday or if the first employee in the PL/SQL table is the president of the company.
  3. Identify the problems with (or areas for improvement in) the following loops. How would you change the loop to improve it?
    1. FOR i IN 1 .. 100

      BEGIN
         DECLARE
            string_of_3_chars VARCHAR2(3) := 'Chris';
         BEGIN
            string_of_5_chars := 'Veva';
         EXCEPTION
            WHEN VALUE_ERROR
            THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Inner block');
         END;
      EXCEPTION
         WHEN VALUE_ERROR
         THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Outer block');
      END;
      
    5. DECLARE
         string_of_5_chars VARCHAR2(5);
      BEGIN
         BEGIN
            string_of_5_chars := 'Steven';
         EXCEPTION
            WHEN VALUE_ERROR
            THEN
               RAISE NO_DATA_FOUND;
            WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
            THEN
               DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Inner block');
         END;
      EXCEPTION
         WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
         THEN
            DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Outer block');
      END;
      
  2. Write a PL/SQL block that allows all of the following SQL DML statements to execute, even if any of the others fail:
    UPDATE emp SET empno = 100 WHERE empno > 5000;
    DELETE FROM dept WHERE deptno = 10;
    DELETE FROM emp WHERE deptno = 10;
  3. Write a PL/SQL block that handles by name the following Oracle error:
    ORA-1014: ORACLE shutdown in progress.
    The exception handler should, in turn, raise a VALUE_ERROR exception. Hint: use the EXCEPTION INIT pragma.
  4. When the following block is executed, which of the two messages shown below are displayed? Explain your choice.
    Message from Exception Handler
    Output from Unhandled Exception
    Predefined or
    programmer-defined?
    
    Error at line 1:
    ORA-1403: no data found
    ORA-6512: at line 5
    
    DECLARE
       d VARCHAR2(1);
       /* Create exception with a predefined name. */
       no_data_found EXCEPTION; 
    BEGIN
       SELECT dummy INTO d FROM dual WHERE 1=2;
       IF d IS NULL 
       THEN
          /* 
          || Raise my own exception, not the predefined 
          || STANDARD exception of the same name.
          */
          RAISE no_data_found; 
       END IF;
    EXCEPTION
       /* This handler only responds to the RAISE statement. */
       WHEN no_data_found
       THEN 
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Predefined or programmer-defined?');
    END;
  5. I create the getval package as shown below. I then call DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE to display the value returned by the getval.getfunction. What is displayed on the screen?
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE getval
    IS
       FUNCTION get RETURN VARCHAR2;
    END getval;
    /
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY getval
    IS
       v VARCHAR2(1) := 'abc';
       FUNCTION get RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
       BEGIN
          RETURN v;
       END;
    BEGIN
       NULL;
    EXCEPTION
      WHEN OTHERS THEN
        DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Trapped!');
    END getval;
    /
    
    

A.1.4 Cursors

  1. What cursor-related statements are missing from the following block?
    DECLARE
       CURSOR emp_cur IS SELECT * FROM emp;
    BEGIN
       OPEN emp_cur;
       FETCH emp_cur INTO emp_rec;
    END;
  2. What statement should be removed from the following block?
    DECLARE
       CURSOR emp_cur IS SELECT * FROM emp;
       emp_rec emp_cur%ROWTYPE;
    BEGIN
       FOR emp_rec IN emp_cur
       LOOP
          give_raise (emp_rec.empno);
       END LOOP;
    END;
  3. Name the cursor attribute (along with the cursor name) you would use (if any) for each of the following requirements:
    1. If the FETCH did not return any records from the company_cur cursor, exit the loop.
    2. If the number of rows deleted exceeded 100, notify the manager.
    3. If the emp_cur cursor is already open, fetch the next record. Otherwise, open the cursor.
    4. If the FETCH returns a row from the sales_cur cursor, display the total sales information.
    5. I use an implicit cursor SELECT statement to obtain the latest date of sales for my store number 45067. If no data is fetched or returned by the SELECT, display a warning.
  4. What message is displayed in the following block if the SELECT statement does not return a row?
    PROCEDURE display_dname (emp_in IN INTEGER) IS
       department# dept.deptno%TYPE := NULL;
    BEGIN
       SELECT deptno INTO department#
         FROM emp
        WHERE empno = emp_in;
       IF department# IS NULL
       THEN
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Dept is not found!');
       ELSE
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Dept is ' || TO_CHAR (department#));
       END IF;
    EXCEPTION
       WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
       THEN
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('No data found');
    END;
  5. What message is displayed in the following block if there are no employees in department 15?
    PROCEDURE display_dept_count 
    IS
       total_count INTEGER := 0;
    BEGIN
       SELECT COUNT(*) INTO total_count
         FROM emp
        WHERE deptno = 15;
       IF total_count = 0
       THEN
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('No employees in department!');
       ELSE
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE
             ('Count of employees in dept 15 = ' || TO_CHAR (total_count));
       END IF;
    EXCEPTION
       WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
       THEN
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('No data found');
    END;
  6. If you fetch past the last record in a cursor's result set, what will happen?
  7. How would you change the SELECT statement in the following block's cursor so that the block can display the sum of salaries in each department?
    DECLARE
       CURSOR tot_cur IS 
          SELECT deptno, SUM (sal)   
            FROM emp
           GROUP BY deptno;
    BEGIN
       FOR tot_rec IN tot_cur
       LOOP
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE 
             ('Total is: ' || tot_rec.total_sales);
       END LOOP;
    END;
  8. Rewrite the following block to use a cursor parameter. Then rewrite to use a local module, as well as a cursor parameter.
    DECLARE
       CURSOR dept10_cur IS 
          SELECT dname, SUM (sal) total_sales  
            FROM emp
           WHERE deptno = 10;
       dept10_rec dept10_cur%ROWTYPE;
       CURSOR dept20_cur IS 
          SELECT dname, SUM (sal)   
            FROM emp
           WHERE deptno = 20;
       dept20_rec dept20_cur%ROWTYPE;
    BEGIN
       OPEN dept10_cur;
       FETCH dept10_cur INTO dept10_rec;
       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE 
          ('Total for department 10 is: ' || tot_rec.total_sales);
       CLOSE dept10_cur;
       OPEN dept20_cur;
       FETCH dept20_cur INTO dept20_rec;
       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE 
          ('Total for department 20 is: ' || tot_rec.total_sales);
       CLOSE dept20_cur;
    END;
  9. Place the following cursor inside a package, declaring the cursor as a public element (in the specification). The SELECT statement contains all of the columns in the emp table, in the same order.
    CURSOR emp_cur (dept_in IN INTEGER) IS
       SELECT empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, sal, comm, deptno
         FROM emp
        WHERE deptno = dept_in;
