Manipulating Data in PLSQL

An implicit cursor attribute called SQL%ROWCOUNT can be used directly in a DML statement to return the number of rows affected. The SQL%ROWCOUNT implicit cursor attribute identifies the number of rows updated in an UPDATE statement. When an UPDATE statement is executed that does not match any rows, no exception is raised but no rows are updated. Implicit cursors are used for DML statements and SELECT statements that return a single row.
