    The key takeaways from the document are that PL/SQL allows for exception handling to gracefully handle errors. There are predefined Oracle exceptions as well as user-defined exceptions that can be raised and handled. Exception handlers use the WHEN clause to specify the type of exception being handled.

    The different types of exceptions in PL/SQL include predefined Oracle exceptions for errors like NO_DATA_FOUND, TOO_MANY_ROWS, etc. User-defined exceptions can also be declared and raised for application-specific errors.

    To define an exception handler in PL/SQL, you use an EXCEPTION block with a WHEN clause to specify the exception being handled, such as WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND. Code inside the handler is executed when the specified exception is raised.

    1.

     An attempt to update an employee's salary to a negative value will violate


    a check constraint and raise an ORA-02290 exception. Which of the following
    is a correct definition of a handler for this exception?
    Mark for Review

    (1) Points
    DECLARE
        e_sal_excep EXCEPTION;
        PRAGMA_EXCEPTION_INIT(e_sal_exception,-02290);
    DECLARE
        e_sal_excep EXCEPTION;
        PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(e_sal_excep,02290);
    DECLARE
        e_sal_excep EXCEPTION;
        PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(-02290,e_sal_excep);

    SQLERRM (*)
    SQL%MESSAGE
    SQLCODE
    Correct

    3. Which one of the following events would implicitly raise an exception?


    Mark for Review

    (1) Points

    A SELECT statement returns exactly one row.
    The PL/SQL programmer mis-spells the word BEGIN as BEGAN.
    An UPDATE statement modifies no rows.
    Correct

    4. Which of the following is NOT a predefined Oracle Server error?


    Mark for Review

    (1) Points

    TOO_MANY_ROWS
    e_sal_too_high EXCEPTION; (*)
    Correct

    5. Which of the following best describes a predefined Oracle Server error?


    Mark for Review

    (1) Points
    Has a standard Oracle error number and a standard name which can be
    referenced in the EXCEPTION section (*)
    Has a standard Oracle error number but must be named by the PL/SQL
    programmer
    Is associated with an Oracle error number using PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT

    Is not raised automatically but must be declared and raised explicitly by the
    PL/SQL programmer
    Correct
    6. The following line of code is correct. True or False?
    RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-21001,'My error message');
    Mark for Review

    (1) Points

    7. What is wrong with the following code?


    BEGIN
        UPDATE employees
        SET salary = 20000

        END IF;
    EXCEPTION
        WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
           DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('No employee was updated');
    END;

    (1) Points
    Line A should be: HANDLE NO_DATA_FOUND
    You cannot use SQL%ROWCOUNT in conditional control statements such as
    IF or CASE.
    You cannot explicitly raise predefined Oracle Server errors such as
    NO_DATA_FOUND.
    Nothing is wrong; the code will execute correctly. (*)
    NO_DATA_FOUND has not been DECLAREd.
    Correct

           END IF;
        EXCEPTION
           WHEN e_my_excep THEN
              DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Message 1');

    (1) Points
    It will compile successfully and return an unhandled e_excep2 to the calling
    environment. (*)
    It will fail to compile because you cannot declare more than one exception in
    the same block.
    It will fail to compile because you cannot have a subblock inside an
    exception section.
    It will fail to compile because e_excep1 is out of scope in the subblock.
    Correct
    11. No employees exist in department 75. What will be displayed when this
    code is executed?
    DECLARE
        v_last_name employees.last_name%TYPE;
