    The EXIT statement in PL/SQL terminates the innermost loop and continues execution after the loop. It can terminate a while, for, or nested loop. The EXIT WHEN statement also terminates the loop, but only when a specified condition is met. Both EXIT and EXIT WHEN allow skipping the remaining iterations of a loop based on simple conditions or variables changing within the loop.

    PL/SQL - EXIT Statement

    The EXIT statement in PL/SQL programming language has the following two usages −
    When the EXIT statement is encountered inside a loop, the loop is immediately terminated
    and the program control resumes at the next statement following the loop.

    If you are using nested loops (i.e., one loop inside another loop), the EXIT statement will stop
    the execution of the innermost loop and start executing the next line of code after the block.

    Syntax

    The syntax for an EXIT statement in PL/SQL is as follows −

    EXIT;

    Example

    DECLARE
    a number(2) := 10;
    BEGIN
    -- while loop execution
    WHILE a < 20 LOOP
    dbms_output.put_line ('value of a: ' || a);
    a := a + 1;
    IF a > 15 THEN
    -- terminate the loop using the exit statement
    EXIT;
    END IF;

    END LOOP;
    END;
    /

    When the above code is executed at the SQL prompt, it produces the following result −

    value of a: 10
    value of a: 11
    value of a: 12
    value of a: 13
    value of a: 14
    value of a: 15

    The EXIT WHEN Statement


    The EXIT-WHEN statement allows the condition in the WHEN clause to be evaluated. If the condition
    is true, the loop completes and control passes to the statement immediately after the END LOOP.

    Following are the two important aspects for the EXIT WHEN statement −
    Until the condition is true, the EXIT-WHEN statement acts like a NULL statement, except for
    evaluating the condition, and does not terminate the loop.

    A statement inside the loop must change the value of the condition.

    Syntax

    The syntax for an EXIT WHEN statement in PL/SQL is as follows −

    EXIT WHEN condition;

    The EXIT WHEN statement replaces a conditional statement like if-then used with the EXIT
    statement.

    Example

    DECLARE
    a number(2) := 10;
    BEGIN
    -- while loop execution
    WHILE a < 20 LOOP
    dbms_output.put_line ('value of a: ' || a);
    a := a + 1;
    -- terminate the loop using the exit when statement
    EXIT WHEN a > 15;
    END LOOP;
    END;
    /
