    4. Write a PL/SQL block to display the country_id and country_name values from the COUNTRIES
    table for country_id whose values range from 1 through 3. Use a basic loop. Increment a variable
    from 1 through 3. Use an IF statement to test your variable and EXIT the loop after you have
    displayed the first 3 countries.
    declare
    v_id number:=1;
    v_nombre_pais varchar2(50);
    begin
    loop select country_id, country_name into v_id, v_nombre_pais
    from countries
    where v_id=country_id;
    dbms_output.put_line('Id del pais '||v_id||'. el nombre es: '||v_nombre_pais);
    v_id:=v_id+1;
    if v_id>3 then exit;
    end if;
    end loop;
    end;

    statement.
    declare
    v_id number:=1;
    v_nombre_pais varchar2(50);
    begin
    loop select country_id, country_name into v_id, v_nombre_pais
    from countries
    where v_id=country_id;
    dbms_output.put_line('Id del pais '||v_id||'. el nombre es: '||v_nombre_pais);
    v_id:=v_id+1;
    exit when v_id>3;
    end loop;
    end;

    6. Create a MESSAGES table and insert several rows into it.

    A. To create the messages table.

    DROP TABLE messages;


    CREATE TABLE messages (results NUMBER(2));

    B. Write a PL/SQL block to insert numbers into the MESSAGES table. Insert the numbers 1
    through 10, excluding 6 and 8.
    declare
    v_numero number(2):=1;
    begin
    loop if v_numero<>6 AND v_numero<>8 then
    insert into messages(results)values(v_numero);
    end if;
    v_numero:=v_numero+1;
    exit when v_numero>10;
    end loop;
    end;
    C. Execute a SELECT statement to verify that your PL/SQL block worked.
    select * from messages
