Try It Sol!e It
All the $uestions in this exercise use a copy of the employees table. %reate this copy
by running the following !&' statement:
%()AT) TA*') excep+emps A! !)')%T , -(. employees/
0. %reate a 1'2!&' bloc3 that updates the salary of every employee to a new value of
04444 in a chosen department. Include a user-defined exception handler that handles
the condition where no rows are updated and displays a custom message. Also
include an exception handler that will trap any other possible error condition and
display the corresponding !&'%5) and !&')((.. Test your code three times"
using department+ids 64" 74" and 84.

6. .odify your code from $uestion 6 to handle the condition where no rows are updated
using (AI!)+A11'I%ATI:+)((( procedure in the exception section. Use an error
