PLSQL Notes

The document discusses the %TYPE attribute in PL/SQL, which allows variables to be declared based on the data type of a database column or other variable. It provides an example of using %TYPE to declare variables that match the data types of columns in the employees table. The document also covers other PL/SQL variable types like scalars, references, LOBs, composites, and bind variables.

-- %TYPE Attribute -----------

--- it is used to declare a variable according to:

-- A databse column definition

-- Another declared variable

-- is prefixed with:

-- The database table and column name

-- declared variable name

-- Syntax : identifier table.column%type; / declared_variable_name%type;

-- Advantages of %TYPE :

-- you can avoid errors caused by data type mismatch and wrong precision

-- you can hardcoding of data type of a variable

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;

Declare

v_name employees.first_name%TYPE;

v_sal employees.salary%TYPE;

V_date_of_joining employees.hire_Date%TYPE;

V_balance number(10,2);

v_min_sal v_sal%TYPE;

V_min_balance V_balance%TYPE default 1000;

v_max_balance V_balance%TYPE;
BEGIN

select first_name,salary,hire_date

INTO v_name,v_sal,V_date_of_joining

from employees

where employee_id=101;

DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(v_name);

DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(v_sal);

DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(V_date_of_joining);

END;

-- write a plsql prog to display employee_id,first_name,dept_id,dept_name using


%type attribute.

--- Types of Variables:

--PLSQL Variables

-- Scalar -- will hold single value at a time.the value depends on datatype of


variable

-- Reference -- will hold values called pointers which will point to the
storage location.

-- Large Object(LOB) --

-- CLOB - character LOB large character values like paragraphs

-- BLOB - Binary LOB -- large binary values like Image

-- BFILE - Binary File -- Audio ,video files

-- Composite

-- to stoe multiple values at a time in variable

-- Record

-- Collection

-- Non PLSQL Variables

-- Bind Variables/host variables

-- SCALAR DATA TYPE

-- CHAR

-- varchar

-- varchar2

-- Date

-- number
-- binary_number

-- int_number

-- binary_float

-- binary_double

-- declaring boolean variables

-- ONLY TRUE, FALSE and NULL values can be stored in boolean variable

-- it will used conditional expressions like using AND,OR ans NOT

-- arithmetic,character and date expression can return a boolean value

DECLARE

v_num1 NUMBER(4) := 30;

v_num2 NUMBER(4) := 20;

v_flag BOOLEAN;

BEGIN

-- v_flag := v_num1 < v_num2;

-- IF v_flag THEN

IF v_num1 < v_num2 THEN

dbms_output.put_line('Num1 < Num2');

ELSE

dbms_output.put_line('Num1 > Num2');

END IF;

END;

-- Bind Variables

-- called host variables as well


-- declared in the client environment or outside the plsql block

-- created using the VARIABLE keyword

-- used in sql statements and plsql blocks

-- accessed even after program exection is completed

-- referenced with preceding colon

-- values can be output using PRINT command.

-- display salary of employee using bind variable

variable v_sal number;

variable v_name varchar2(20);
