Cursor With A Simple Loop:: Lets Modify The Above Program To Use While Loop

This document discusses different ways to iterate through a cursor in PL/SQL, including using an implicit cursor, a simple loop, a while loop, and a for loop. It provides code examples for each approach. The implicit cursor updates all salaries in a table by 1000. The simple loop fetches each row from a cursor and outputs field values. The while loop and for loop examples both iterate through a cursor and output field values, demonstrating alternative syntaxes for iterating through a cursor in PL/SQL.

Implicit cursor:

DECLARE var_rows number(5);


BEGIN
UPDATE employee
SET salary = salary + 1000;
IF SQL%NOTFOUND THEN
dbms_output.put_line('None of the salaries where updated');
ELSIF SQL%FOUND THEN
var_rows := SQL%ROWCOUNT;
dbms_output.put_line('Salaries for ' || var_rows || 'employees are
updated');
END IF;
END;
Cursor with a Simple Loop:
1> DECLARE
2> CURSOR emp_cur IS
3> SELECT first_name, last_name, salary FROM emp_tbl;
4> emp_rec emp_cur%rowtype;
5> BEGIN
6> IF NOT sales_cur%ISOPEN THEN
7> OPEN sales_cur;
8> END IF;
9> LOOP
10> FETCH emp_cur INTO emp_rec;
11> EXIT WHEN emp_cur%NOTFOUND;
12> dbms_output.put_line(emp_cur.first_name || ' ' ||emp_cur.last_name
13> || ' ' ||emp_cur.salary);
14> END LOOP;
15> END;
16> /


Lets modify the above program to use while loop.
1> DECLARE
2> CURSOR emp_cur IS
3> SELECT first_name, last_name, salary FROM emp_tbl;
4> emp_rec emp_cur%rowtype;
5> BEGIN
6> IF NOT sales_cur%ISOPEN THEN
7> OPEN sales_cur;
8> END IF;
9> FETCH sales_cur INTO sales_rec;
10> WHILE sales_cur%FOUND THEN
11> LOOP
12> dbms_output.put_line(emp_cur.first_name || ' ' ||emp_cur.last_name
13> || ' ' ||emp_cur.salary);
15> FETCH sales_cur INTO sales_rec;
16> END LOOP;
17> END;
18> /











General Syntax for using FOR LOOP:
FOR record_name IN cusror_name
LOOP
process the row...
END LOOP;
Lets use the above example to learn how to use for loops in cursors.
1> DECLARE
2> CURSOR emp_cur IS
3> SELECT first_name, last_name, salary FROM emp_tbl;
4> emp_rec emp_cur%rowtype;
5> BEGIN
6> FOR emp_rec in sales_cur
7> LOOP
8> dbms_output.put_line(emp_cur.first_name || ' ' ||emp_cur.last_name
9> || ' ' ||emp_cur.salary);
10> END LOOP;
11>END;
12> /
