Correct 3. Which of the following explicit cursor attributes evaluates to TRUE if the most recent FETCH returns a row? Mark for Review (1) Points %ISOPEN %NOTFOUND %FOUND (*) %ROWCOUNT

Correct 4. Look at the following code:

DECLARE CURSOR emp_cursor IS SELECT employee_id, last_name, salary FROM employees; v_empcurs emp_cursor%ROWTYPE; What is the data type of V_EMPCURS? Mark for Review (1) Points Scalar Record (*) Cursor Row

Correct 5. Examine the following code: DECLARE CURSOR country_curs IS SELECT country_id, country_name FROM wf_countries ORDER BY country_name; v_country country_curs%ROWTYPE; BEGIN OPEN country_curs; LOOP FETCH country_curs INTO v_country; EXIT WHEN country_curs%NOTFOUND; ------- Line A END LOOP; CLOSE country_curs; END; You want to display the id and name of each FETCHed country. What would you code at Line A? Mark for Review (1) Points DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(country_id || ' ' || country_name); DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_country(country_id) || ' ' || v_country(country_n ame)); DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(country_curs.country_id || ' ' || country_curs.coun try_name);

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_country.country_id || ' ' || v_country.country_na me); (*)

Mark for Review (1) Points EXIT WHEN country_curs%FOUND(25); EXIT WHEN country_curs%ROWCOUNT > 25; (*) EXIT WHEN ROWCOUNT > 25; WHEN country_curs > 25 THEN EXIT; END IF;

Correct 7.
