Data:
• Data is a raw collection of facts about people, places, and things.
• It is unprocessed one. It means, it is not meaningful form.
• Data can be divided into 2 types. They are:
i. Structured Data
ii. Unstructured Data

Structured Data:
It is made up of with letters, digits, and special symbols.
Example:
25 1-2-123/A Ramu

Unstructured Data:
Multimedia objects come under Unstructured data.
Example:

Database:
• Database is a collection of interrelated data.
• It contains records and fields.
• Rows are called records and columns are fields.
• Field holds individual values.
• Record is a collection of field values.
• A row can be also called as record (or) tuple (or) entity instance.
• A column can be also called as field (or) attribute (or) property.
• Database can be divided into two types. They are:
i. OLTP
ii. OLAP
OLTP:
• OLTP stands for “OnLine Transaction Processing”.
• This database is used for day-to-day operations.
• CRUD operations are performed in day-to-day operations. CRUD
operations are:
C = Create
R = Read
U = Update
D = Delete

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-SQL 3

Example:
Maintaining day-to-day operations of Bank Customers like
withdrawals, deposits, checking balance and fund transfers

OLAP:
• OLAP stands for “OnLine Analytical Processing”.
• This database is used for Data Analysis.
• In this, we write complex queries for data analysis.
• It can be also called “Dataware Housing [DWH]” or “Decision
Support System [DSS]”.
Example:

Database

DBMS:
• DBMS stands for DataBase Management System/Software.
• It is a software that is used to create and maintain the database.
• This software allows us to store, manipulate and retrieve the data of
database. “Retrieve” means opening existing data. Manipulate means,
Inserting, Deleting and Updating [modifying] the data.

RDBMS:
• RDBMS stands for Relational DataBase Management System / Software.
• In this, we maintain database in the form of tables.
Example: Oracle, SQL Server, MY SQL, PostGre SQL, DB2

Table:
• Table is a collection of rows and columns.
• It can be also called as “Relation” (or) “Entity”.
• Rows are called Records (or) Tuples (or) Entity Instances.
• Columns are called Fields (or) Attributes (Or) Fields.
• Field holds individual values.
• Record is a collection of field values.

File Management System [FMS]:

• It is a software which is used to create and maintain the data in flat files
(text files).
• It was introduced in 1960s.
• It was the first method to store the business data in computer.
• In this, data and metadata will be stored in many locations. If we want to
make any changes to data (or) metadata, we need to change in many
places. If we changed in one place forgot to change in another places Data
Inconsistency problem will occur.

Disadvantages of FMS:
• Data Redundancy
• Data Dependence
• No Security
• Limited Data Sharing
• Excessive Program Maintenance
• Lengthy Development Times

DataBase Management System [DBMS]:

• DBMS is a software that is create and maintain the database.
• It allows us to store, manipulate & retrieve the data of Database.
• In this, data and metadata will be stored in one location. If we want to
make any changes, we need to change in one place only.

Advantages of DBMS:
• Minimal Data Redundancy
• Data Independence
• Security
• Improved Data Sharing
• Improved Data Consistency
• Improved Data Integrity
• Improved Data Accessibility and Responsiveness
• Increased Productivity

ORACLE:
• Oracle is a Relational Database management software.
• It is used to create & maintain the database.
• In this we maintain database in the form of tables.
• It allows us to store, manipulate and retrieve the data of database.
• Second version of “Oracle” introduced in 1979.
• Latest version is Oracle 19C. [c =Cloud].
• It is a product of “ORACLE” company. This company is established in 1977
by “Larry Ellison” with the name “Software Development Laboratories”.
Later it renamed as “Relation Software Inc.” [Incorporation] in 1979. Later
it renamed as “ORACLE CORPORATION” in 1983.

Tools of ORACLE:
Oracle provides following tools:
• SQL
• PL/SQL

SQL:
• SQL stands for “Structured Query Language”.
• It is a query language used to write the queries.
• Query is a request that is sent to Database Server.
• Query is used to communicate with the database.
• It is a Non-Procedural Language. We will not write any set of statements.
• It is a Fourth Generation Language [4GL]. In 4GLs, we much concentrate
on what to do rather than how to do.
• It is a Unified Language. It is common for many relational databases such
as SQL Server, My SQL, Postgre SQL ..etc.
• It provides operators to perform operations like +, -, >, Between and, In
Like ..etc.
• It provides built-in functions to perform specific actions.
• It does not provide control structures. Because we cannot write set of
statements in SQL. We have no need to control the flow of execution.
• It provides 5 sub languages. Every sub language provides commands to
work with the database. They are:
i. DDL
ii. DML
iii. DQL /DRL
iv. DCL / ACL
v. TCL

Constraints in SQL:
• Constraint is a rule which is applied on a column.
• Constraint is used to maintain accurate and quality data.
• Constraint restricts the user from entering invalid data.
• The goal of constraint is maintaining accurate and quality data. This
feature is called “Data Integrity”.
• SQL provides Data Integrity.

SQL provides following constraints to maintain the Data Integrity:

1. Primary Key
2. Unique
3. Not Null
4. Check
5. Default
6. References [Foreign Key]

1. Primary Key:
• It should not accept duplicate values.
• It should not accept null values.
• If our requirement is not to accept duplicate value and null value in
a column then use it.
Example:
SID [Primary Key] SName M1
1001 Ravi 45
1002 Arun 70
1003 Ravi 70
1001 Sai 50

Ramu 90

This record will not be

accepted. It creates
This record will not be
null value.
accepted. It creates
duplicate value.

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-SQL 2

2. Unique:
• It should not accept duplicate values.
• It accepts null values.
• If our requirement is accepting null values but not accepting
duplicate values, then use it.
Example:
CUSTOMER
CID SName Mobile_Number[Unique]
1001 Ravi 90123 12312
1002 Arun 90123 12313
1003 Ravi 90123 12314
1004 Sai 90123 12312
1005 Ramu

This record will be

This record will not be accepted. It creates
accepted. It creates null value. “Unique”
duplicate value. accepts null value.

3. Not Null:
• It should not accept null values.
• It can accept duplicate values.
• When we want to accept duplicate value and demand for entering
a value in field then use it.
Example:
SID SName [Not Null] M1
1001 Ravi 45
1002 70
1003 Ravi 70

This record will not be This record will not be

accepted. It creates accepted. It creates
duplicate value. null value.

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-SQL 3

4. Check:
It is used to write our own conditions [rules] on a column.
Example:
If M1 value Must be between 0 to 100 only then write:
M1 Number(3) Check(M1>=0 and M1<=100)

If Gender value must be M or F only then write:

Gender Char(1) Check(Gender=‘M’ or ‘F’)

If salary must be between 5000 to 100000 then write:

Salary Number(8,2) Check(Salary>=5000 and Salary<=100000)

5. Default:
• It is used to apply default value to a column.
• We have no need to pass this value when we insert the record. It
will be taken automatically when we don’t pass the value.
• If we pass the value, it takes the value. If we don’t pass the value,
it takes default value.
Example:
Empno EName Company_Name Company_City
[default ‘Naresh IT’] [default ‘Hyd’]
7001 Raju Naresh IT Hyd
7002 Ashok Naresh IT Hyd
7003 Kiran Naresh IT Hyd

6. References [Foreign Key]:

Foreign Key refers to primary key values of another table.

COURSE STUDENT
Cid Cname Sid SName Cid
[Primary Key] [Foreign Key]
10 Java 1001 Ashok 20
20 Python 1002 Ravi 30
30 Oracle 1003 Sai 90

90 value not available in

“Cid” of “Course” Table .
So not accepted.

DDL Commands

• DDL Stands for Data Definition Language

• It deals with meta data [Data Definitions] such as table name, column
name, data type, field size, constraint name, constraint type …etc.
• We have no need to use “commit” command after using a “DDL
Command”. All DDL commands are auto committed.
• DDL Commands provided by Oracle-SQL are:
▪ Create
▪ Alter
▪ Drop
▪ Truncate
▪ Rename
▪ Flashback
▪ Purge

“Create” Command:
• It is a DDL Command.
• It is used to create the database objects like tables, views, and
indexes …etc.

Syntax to create a Table:

Create Table <Table_Name>(

<field_name> <data_type> [constraint <constraint_name> constraint_type>,
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….,
……………………………………………………………………….] );

Note:
Using “Add Constraint”, we can add Table Level Constraints like Primary
Key, Check, Foreign Key, and Unique. We cannot add Not Null and
Default. These are column level constraints.
To add Not Null and Default, we can use “Modify”.

There are 2 types of Constraints. They are:

Column Level Constraints:

Column Level Constraints can be applied in column definition.

Column Level Constraints are:

▪ Primary Key
▪ Unique
▪ Not Null
▪ Check
▪ Default
▪ References [Foreign Key]

Table Level Constraints:

Table Level Constraint are applied after all column definitions.

DML Commands

• DML Stands for Data Manipulation Language.

• DML Commands deal with the data.
• DML Commands are used to manipulate the data. Manipulation
means, inserting, deleting, and modifying [updating] the records.
• We need to use “commit” command after using a “DML Command”.
Because All DML commands are not auto committed.
• DML Commands provided by Oracle-SQL are:
▪ Insert
▪ Insert All
▪ Delete
▪ Update
▪ Merge

“Insert” Command:
• It is a DML Command.
• It is used to insert the records into table.

Syntax :

Insert into <Table_Name>[<column_list>] values(<v1>, <v2>, ………..);

Example:
Insert into emp(empno,ename,job,sal) values(1001, ‘Ramu’, ‘CLERK’,
4000);

“Insert All” Command:

• It is a DML Command.
• It is introduced in Oracle 9i version.
• It is used to insert the multiple records into a table or multiple tables
by writing one query.
• It avoids writing multiple insert commands.

“Merge” Command:

• Is a DML Command.
• It is a combination of Update and Insert Commands.
• It is used to merge one table records into another table (Replica /
Duplicate Copy) based on condition.
• It avoids writing multiple DML Statements.
• It is used to deal with Replicas [Duplicate Copies].

Syntax:

Merge into <Target_Table_Name> <Alias>

Using <Source_Table_Name> <Alias>
On(<Condition>)
When Matched Then
<Update Query>
When Not Matched Then
<Insert Query>

Example:

BOOK1 [BookID, Book_Name, Price] => Source Table

BOOK2 [BookID, Book_Name, Price] => Target Table

Merge into Book2 T

Using Book1 S
On (s.BookId=t.BookId)
When Matched Then
Update Set T.Price=S.Price
When Not Matched Then
Insert (bookid,book_name,price) values(s.bookid, s.book_name, s.price);

Flashback Query:

• After “commit” we cannot use “rollback” command. So, we cannot

recollect the data using “rollback”. But if accidentally any record or
records are deleted & committed to recollect the data, we can write
Flashback Query.
• A query which returns the past data is called “Flashback Query”.
• “As Of” Clause is used to write the Flashback Query.
• Flashback Query is used to recollect the data which was existed some
time ago. After “commit” also we can recollect the data using this
query.
• Default “undo_retention” value is 900 seconds. It means, we can
recollect the data upto 15 minutes. We can change
“undo_retention” value.

Examples on Flashback Query:

Displaying 5 minutes ago data:

Select * from emp as of Timestamp(Sysdate-Interval ‘5’ Minute);

Recollecting the 5 minutes ago data in a new Table:

Create Table Emp1 As
Select * from emp as of Timestamp(Sysdate-Interval ‘5’ Minute);

ACL Commands

• ACL Stands for Accessing Control Language.

• ACL commands deal with Data Accessibility.
• These commands are used to give permission on database objects
like tables to other users & cancel the permissions on database
objects from other users.
• ACL Commands provided by Oracle-SQL are:
▪ Grant
▪ Revoke

“Grant” Command:
• It is an ACL Command.
• It is used to give permissions on database objects like tables, views
to other users.

Syntax :

Grant <Privileges_List> on <Table_Name> to <Users_List>;

Example:
Grant select on Std to raju;

Syntax to create a User:

Create User <User_name> identified by <password>

default tablespace <tablespace_name>
quota <memory> on <tablespace_name> ;

Example:
Create user c##raju identified by kumar
Default tablespace users
Quota unlimited on users;

“Revoke” Command:
• It is an ACL Command.
• It is used to cancel the permissions on database objects like tables,
views from other users.

Syntax :

Revoke <Privileges_List> on <Table_Name> from <Users_List>;

Example:
Revoke select on Std from raju;

Example on GRANT and REVOKE:

Example-1:
Create two users with the names c##userA and c##userB. Log in as
c##userA. Create a table with following structure, insert the records, give
permissions on this table c##userB & Cancel the Permissions:

Student
Sid SName

Creating a User with the name C##UserA:

Only DBA can create the user. So, Log In as DBA

SQL> conn system/nareshit

TCL Commands

• TCL Stands for Transaction Control Language.

• TCL commands deal with Transactions. A Transaction can be a series
of commands (or) a single command.
Example:
Withdrawing Amount
Depositing Amount
Checking Balance
Placing an Order … etc
• These commands are used to cancel the previous transactions or to
save the transactions.
• A Transaction must be successfully completed or aborted [canceled].
• If a Transaction is successfully completed, then use “Commit”
Command. If a Transaction is stopped in the middle due to some
reason, then we use “roll back” command.
• TCL Commands provided by Oracle-SQL are:
▪ Commit
▪ Rollback
▪ SavePoint

“Commit” Command:

• It is a TCL Command.
• It is used to make the changes permanent. It means, it is used to save
the transactions. When we perform Insert or delete or update
operation, it will be performed on “Oracle Instance”. To apply these
changes to “Oracle Database” permanently, we use “commit”
command.
• After commit, we cannot use rollback.

Syntax :

Commit;

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-SQL 2

Example:
Insert into student values(1234, ‘Ravi’);
Commit;

In the above example, insertion will be done on “Oracle Instance”. To

make this change permanent, we used “Commit” command.

Note:
Not only one. But also, all the previous actions will be saved
permanently in “Oracle Database” when we use “Commit” command.

“Rollback” Command:

• It is a TCL Command.
• It is used to cancel the previous actions. It means, it will undo the
previous actions.
• It must be used before “Commit” to cancel the previous actions.
After commit, we cannot use “Rollback” Command.

Syntax :

Rollback [To SavePoint_Name];

Example:
Insert into student values(1234, ‘Ravi’);
Rollback;

In the above example, insertion will be done on “Oracle Instance”. Then

insertion will be canceled in “Oracle Instance” because of “Rollback”
Command.

Note:
Not only one. But also, all the previous actions will be canceled when
we use “Rollback” command [Uncommitted actions will be cancelled].

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-SQL 3

“SavePoint” Command:

• It is a TCL Command.
• It is used to set margin for “Rollback”. When rollbacked using the
Save_Point_Name, the actions will be cancelled up to this point only.
• Save_Point_name must be unique.
• If we define same Save_Point_Name again, previous SavePoint will
be replaced with new SavePoint. This new point will be considered
as SavePoint. Previous savepoint [old savepoint] will be gone.

Syntax :

SavePoint <Save_Point_name>;

Example:
Insert into student values(1234, ‘Ravi’);
SavePoint NareshIT;
Insert into student values(1235, ‘Sai’);
Rollback To NareshIT;

In the above example, rollback will be applied till the SavePoint

‘NareshIT’. It means second insertion will be cancelled.

Example on Rollback, Commit and Savepoint:

the manipulations, and cancel the manipulations:

Built-In Functions

• Function is a set of statements [or Sub Program] that gets executed

on calling.
• A Function can take arguments [Input] and can return the result
[Output].
• Every function is defined to perform task (or) action.
• Oracle developers defined some functions in Oracle Database to
perform tasks. These are already built in Oracle Database. So, these
are called “Built-In Functions”. We can also call them as “Predefined
Functions”. Because they are already defined.

Built-In Functions can be categorized as follows:

• Math Functions [Numeric Functions]

• String Functions [Character Functions]

• Aggregate Functions [Group Functions]

• Conversion Functions

• Date Functions

• Miscellaneous [Other] Functions

Ex:
Rank() over(order by sal desc) =>

applies ranks based on highest salary. It gives same rank

for same values. It generates the gaps between ranks
when same rank applied for multiple values.

Dense_Rank() Used to apply ranks based on a column or columns. It

maintains sequence of ranks when even if multiple
values have same rank. It will not generate gaps
between ranks even if multiple values have same rank.

Syntax:
Dense_Rank() over(order by <column_name> Asc/ Desc
[,…..])

Ex:

CASE Expressions:

• Case Expressions are introduced in “Oracle 9i”.

• Case Expressions are used to implement “If-Then-Else” in SQL Query.
• It avoids writing a separate procedure to implement “If-Then-Else”.
In SQL Query we can implement “If-Then-Else”.

CASE Expression can be used in 2 ways. They are:

1. Simple Case Expression
2. Searched Case Expression

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-SQL 6

Simple Case Expression:

Syntax:

Case <Column_Name>
When <Value> Then <Return_Expression>
[When <Value> Then <Return_Expression>]
[………………………………………………………………..]
[Else <Return_Expression>]
End

“Simple Case” is used to return the expressions based on value

matching. When the “value” is matched with “column value”, it
returns the “Return_Expression”. When all values are not matched
with column values, “Return_Expression” in Else will be returned.
Writing “Else” is optional.

Searched Case Expression:

Syntax:

Case
When <Condition> Then <Return_Expression>
[When <Condition> Then <Return_Expression>]
[………………………………………………………………..]
[Else <Return_Expression>]
End

“Searched Case” is used to return the expressions based on the

condition. When the “Condition” is TRUE, it returns the
“Return_Expression”. When all conditions are FALSE,
“Return_Expression” in Else will be returned. Writing “Else” is
optional.
Note:
“Simple Case” can check equality condition only.
“Searced Case” can check any type of condition.

<Value>,<Return_Expression>
[<Value>,<Return_Expression>,]
[<Value>,<Return_Expression>,]
[<Else_Expression>])

In Oracle, ‘If-Then-Else’ can be implemented in 2 ways. They are:

• Using CASE Expression
• Using DECODE() Function

CASE Expression introduced in Oracle 9i.

Before Oracle 9i we were using DECODE() Function

Sub Queries

• Writing query in another query is called “Sub Query” or “Nested

Query”.
• Inside query is called “Inner Query” or “Child Query” or “Sub Query”.
• Outside query is called “Outer Query” or “Parent Query” or “Main
Query”.
• Sub query is used when condition is based on unknown value.
• Normally, inner query gets executed first. Then outer query gets
executed.
• The result of inner query is input for the outer query.
• Inner query must be written in parenthesis [(…….)].
• Inner query must be select statement only. We cannot write other
queries like Insert, Update or Delete as inner query.
• Outer query can be Select, Insert, Update or Delete Query.
• Sub queries can be nested more than one level and can be nested up
to 255 levels.

Types of Sub Queries:

Sub queries can e categorized into following types:
• Single Row Sub Query
• Multi Row Sub Query
• Co-related Sub Query
• Inline View
• Scalar Sub Query

Single Row Sub Query:

An inner query which returns one value is called “Single Row Sub Query”.

Syntax:
Select <column_list>
From <Table_Name>
Where <column_name> <operator> (<Select statement>);

Multi Row Sub Query:

• An inner query which returns more than one value is called “Multi
Row Sub Query”.
• We cannot use = operator for Multi row sub queries. Because =
operator can check comparison with one value only. But Multi row
sub query returns more than one value.
• We can use In, Not In, Any, All operators in Multi Row Sub Queries.

Examples on Multi Row Sub Query:

1. Display the employee records whose Job is equals to SMITH and

BLAKE:
SQL> Select ename, job from emp
where job in (Select job from emp

Correlated Sub Query:

• If inner query gets a value from outer query, then it is called
“Correlated Sub Query”.
• In Correlated Sub Query, Outer query gets executed first. Then inner
query gets executed.
• In this, inner query gets executed multiple times and it depends on
number of rows returned by outer query.
• Use correlated sub query when inner query must get value from
outer query & it has to be executed for multiple times.

Execution Process of correlated sub query:

• Outer query gets executed first. Returns a row.
• Passes a value to inner query.
• Inner query gets executed.
• Returns a value to outer query.
• Outer query condition gets executed.
• Above steps are performed repeatedly.

Example queries on Correlated Sub Queries:

1. Display the employee records who are getting salary greater than
department’s average salary:
SQL> Select ename,sal,deptno from emp e

Inline View:

• A sub query written in “FROM” clause is called “Inline view”

subquery.
• This sub query acts like a table.

Views

View:

• “View” is a Database Object like Table.

• It is a virtual table. It means, it does not contain physical data. It does
not occupy the memory.
• It is created on Tables.
• The Table on which view is created is called “Base Table”.
• It holds Select Query. It does not hold query result.
• When we retrieve the data through view, Oracle runs select query
which is in the view. So, it retrieves the data from the base table.
• It gives most recent data [Committed Data]. Because, it retrieves
data from base table.

Advantages:
• View provides security for the data.
• It reduces complexity & simplifies the usage of query.

Syntax to create a View:

Create View <View_Name>

As
<Select Query> ;

Note:
Database security can be implemented in three levels.
• To implement Database Level Security, use Schemas [Creating Users]
• To implement Table Level Security, use privileges [Granting
permissions]
• To implement data level [row level & column level] security, use
views.

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-SQL 2

Types of Views:
Views can be divided into two types according to the number of Base
Tables. They are:
• Simple View
• Complex View

Simple View:
• A view which is created based on one table is called “Simple View”.
• We can perform DML operations like Insert, Delete and Update on
this view.
• It can be updated. So, it can be also called as “Updatable View”.

Examples on Simple View:

Example-1 [ Implementing Column Level Security ]:
Create a user with the name c##ravi. Create “emp” table.
Create a view on “Emp” Table for the columns Empno, Ename, Job
and Deptno
Grant permission on view to the user “c##oracle7am”
Connect as “c##oracle7am” user & perform DML Operations:
Creating a user:
Log in as DBA
User Name: system
Password: Type password Given at the time of Installation
Type following query.

SQL> Create User c##Ravi identified by nareshit

default tablespace users
quota unlimited on users;

Grant Permission to connect and create the table:

SQL> Grant connect, resource to c##ravi;

Output:
Grant succeeded.

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-SQL 3

Connect as C##ravi:
SQL> conn c##ravi/nareshit

Output:
Connected.

Create a Table “Emp” and Insert the records.

These commands are available in “emp_dept_salgrade.txt” file which
is available in Google Drive.

Connect as DBA to give permission to c##ravi for creating the view:

SQL> conn system/nareshit

Output:
Connected.

SQL> Grant create view to c##ravi;

Output:
Grant succeeded.

Connect as “Ravi”, create a view and Grant permission on view to

“oracle7AM”:

SQL> conn c##ravi/nareshit

Output:
Connected.

SQL> Create view v1

As
Select empno, ename, job, deptno from emp;

Output:
View created.

Output:
Grant succeeded.

Connect as “c##oracle7am” and Perform DML Operations:

SQL> conn c##oracle7am/nareshit

Inserting record through view:

SQL> Insert into c##ravi.v1 values(1001,'STEVE','CLERK',20);
Output:
1 row created.

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-SQL 5

Updating record through view:

SQL> Update c##ravi.v1 set Job='MANAGER' where empno=1001;

Output:
1 row updated.

Deleting record through view:

SQL> Delete from c##ravi.v1 where empno=1001;

Output:
1 row deleted.

Note:
In the above example, “c##ravi” user is owner of emp table. He created
a view “v1” & given permission to “c##oracle7am” user.
“c##oracle7am” user can access 4 columns of emp table. He cannot
access remaining clolumns like sal, comm …etc. Hence Column Level
security implemented.
“c##oracle7am” user can select, insert, update and delete the records
through view.

Example-2 [ Implementing Row Level Security ]:

Log in as “c##ravi” user.
Create a view on deptno 20 employees of “emp” table for all
columns.
Grant permission on this view to the user “c##oracle7am”.

Logging as c##ravi and creating view:

SQL> conn c##ravi/nareshit

Output:
Connected.

Note:
“c##oracle7am” user has no permission to view the deptno 10 records.
Still he is able to insert deptno 10 emp record. To prevent this, recreate
the view using “WITH CHECK OPTION” clause.

Even if he inserts the record, he cannot see that record through view.
To check it write following query:
SQL> Select * from c##ravi.v2;

Output:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01402: view WITH CHECK OPTION where-clause violation
Note:
Above record is violating where condition of view “V2”. It cannot be
accepted by view.

“WITH CHECK OPTION” clause:

If a view is created using “With Check Option” clause, this view cannot
accept the records which cannot be seen by the user through this view.
It means, the records which are violating “where” clause of view will not
be accepted.

Complex View:
• A view which is created based on multiple tables is called “Complex
View”.
• A view which is created using joins or group by or having or
aggregate functions or expressions or set operators or sub queries
can be called as “Complex View”.
• This view cannot be updated. So, it can be also called as “Read-Only
View”.

Example on Complex View:

SQL> Create view v3
As
Select e.ename,e.job,e.deptno,d.dname,d.loc
from emp e INNER JOIN dept d
On e.deptno=d.deptno;

Output:

Note:
With above query, we can understand that insertion operation cannot
be performed on “Complex View”.

Deleting record through view:

SQL> Delete from v3 where ename='SMITH';

Output:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01752: cannot delete from view without exactly one key-

Differences between Simple View & Complex View:

SIMPLE VIEW COMPLEX VIEW

A Simple View is created based on A Complex View is created based

one table. on more than one table.

We can perform DML operations We cannot perform DML

like Insert, Delete and Update on operations like Insert, Delete and
this view. Update operations on this view.

It can be also called as “Updatable It can be also called as “Read-Only

View”. View”.

It performs simple operations It performs complex operations like

Joins, Group By, Having, Set
Operators, Aggregate functions,
Expressions and Sub Queries.

Oracle-SQL 12

Can we create a view from another view?

Yes. We can.

Example:
SQL> Create view v4 as select * from v3;

Output:
View created.

SQL> Select * from v4;

Output:
ENAME JOB DEPTNO DNAME LOC
---------- --------- ---------- -------------- -------------
SMITH CLERK 20 RESEARCH DALLAS
ALLEN SALESMAN 30 SALES CHICAGO

After creating a view if base table data is modified does it reflect to

view?
Yes. It will be reflected to view. Because when we retrieve data through
view it runs select query. It gives recent data from the base table.

After creating view, if we add a column to the base table does it

reflect to view?
No. It will not be reflected to view. If we want altered table through
view, we must recreate the view using “Create or Replace View”.

Note:
If data of base table modified, we can see the changes through view.
If Structure of base table modified, we cannot see the changes through
view.

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-SQL 13

Can we create a View without Table?

No. To create a View, Base Table is required. But there is a concept
“FORCE VIEW” with which we can create a view without existing table.

FORCE VIEW:
A view which is created without existing table with some compilation
errors is called “Force View”.
Even if we create the view, this view will not until we create the base
table.

Example:
SQL> Create Force View FV1
As
Select * from ABC;

Output:
Warning: View created with compilation errors.

SQL> Select * from FV1;

Output:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-04063: view "C##RAVI.FV1" has errors

Note:
After creating ABC table above view will work.

Can we add a column to the view?

No. we cannot use “Alter” and “Truncate” commands on “View”.

If we delete Base Table, does Oracle deletes view?

No. If we delete base table view will not be deleted. But this view will
not work till recreates the base table.

the user.

SQL> Select view_name from user_views;

Dropping a View:
“Drop” command is used to drop the view.

Syntax:

Example:
SQL> Drop view v1;

Output:

PL / SQL

• In PL/SQL, PL stands for “Procedural Language. SQL stands for

“Structured Query Language”.
• It is a Procedural Language. We can define a set of statements to
perform actions.

Features of PL/SQL:
Improves Performance:
In PL/SQL, SQL commands can be grouped into one block, and we can
submit this block to Oracle. Oracle executes this block and gives
response to user. PL/SQL reduces number of requests and response. So,
performance will be improved.

Provides Control Structures:

It provides Control Structures which are used to control the flow of
execution of statements. These are useful to execute the statements
based on conditions. These are also useful to execute the statements
repeatedly.

Provides Exception Handling:

The mechanism of handling run-time errors is called “Exception
Handling”. When run-time error occurs, program will be terminated in
the middle of execution. It will not execute remaining code. To continue
the execution even if run-time error occurs, we must handle the
exception.

Provides Modular Programming:

Modular programming is a programming style. In this, we divide large
program into small parts. These small parts are called Procedures and
Functions. It improves understandability. Better maintenance will be
provided like easy to debug, test and edit …etc.

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 2

Provides Reusability:
PL/SQL provides Functions, Procedures, Triggers and Packages. Because
of these database objects we can reuse the code. We define code only
once. But we can use that code for any number of times by calling.

Provides Security:
PL/SQL programs are stored in database. So, these are centralized. Only
authorized users can execute these programs.

PL/SQL Blocks:
PL/SQL program contains blocks. These PL/SQL blocks are 2 Types. Theya
are:
• Anonymous Blocks
• Named Blocks

Anonymous Block:
A PL/SQL block without any name is called “Anonymous Block”.

Named Block:
A PL/SQL block with name is called “Named Block”.
Ex: Procedure, Function, Package, Trigger

Syntax of PL/SQL Program:

DECLARE
<declare the variables> --DECLARATION PART
BEGIN
<Statements> --EXECUTION PART
END;
/

Dbms_output.put_line():
“Dbms_output” is a package. It provides put_line() procedure. Put_line()
procedure is used to print the messages on output.
Example: dbms_output.put_line(‘hello’); --prints hello

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 3

Set ServerOutput On:

By default, messages are not sent to output screen. To send messages to
output execute “SET SERVEROUTPUT ON” command.

Program to print ‘hello’:

Begin
Dbms_output.put_line(‘hello’);
End;
/
Output:
Hello

Execution Process:
• Type above program in Notepad / Edit Plus or any other text editor.
• Save it in d: drive oracle7am folder with the name “hello.sql”.
• Open SQL Command Prompt and type as following:
SQL>@d:\oracle7am/hello.sql
--Above compiles & runs “hello.sql” program.

Declaring a Variable:
Syntax:
<variable> <data_type>;
Example:

Assignning value to variable:

:= is the assignment operator provided by PL/SQL. It is used to assign the
values.

Syntax:
<variable> := <value>;

Example:
x := 20;
d := ’12-AUG-2021’;
a := ‘Raju’;

Reading value at run-time:

Prefix variable name with & to read the input at run-time.
Example:
x := &x;

Control Structures

• Control Structures are used to control the flow of execution of

statements.
• To transfer the control to our desired location, we use control
structures.

PL/SQL provides following control structures:

Conditional Control If …Then Used to execute the

Structures If …Then…Else statements based on
If…Then..Elsif condition.
Nested If
Case
Looping Control Simple Loop Used to executes the
Structures While Loop statements repeatedly.
For Loop
Jumping Control Goto Used to jump out of loop
Structures Exit or to specified label.
Exit When

Conditional Control Structures:

Conditional Control Structures are used to execute the statements based
on condition.
PL/SQL provides following Conditional Control Structures:
• If …Then
• If …Then…Else
• If…Then..Elsif
• Nested If
• Case

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 8

IF…THEN:
The statement in ‘IF’ block get executed when the condition is TRUE. It
skips the statements when the condition is FALSE.

ODD

If..Then..Elsif:
It is used to execute the statements based on any one of the multiple
conditions. The statements in “If..Then..Elsif” get executed when
corresponding condition is TRUE. When all conditions are FALSE, it
executes Else block statements. Writing “Else” block is optional.

Syntax:

If <condition-1> Then

Case:
“Case” can be used in two ways. They are:
• Simple Case
• Searched Case

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 12

Simple Case:
“Simple Case” can check equality condition only.

Syntax:
Case <expression>
When <value> Then
<Statements>;
When <value> Then
<Statements>;
When <value> Then
<Statements>;
.
.
Else
<Statements>
End Case;

Program to check whether the given number is even or odd using

SIMPLE CASE:
DECLARE
n int;
BEGIN
n:=&n;

CASE mod(n,2)
WHEN 0 THEN
dbms_output.put_line('EVEN');
WHEN 1 THEN
dbms_output.put_line('ODD');
END CASE;
END;
/

Output:
Enter value for n: 8
EVEN

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Searched Case:
It can check non-equality conditions also.

Syntax:
Case
When <value> Then
<Statements>;
When <value> Then
<Statements>;
When <value> Then
<Statements>;
.
.
Else
<Statements>
End Case;

Program to check whether the given number is positive or negative or

zero using searched CASE:

Using SQL Statements in PL/SQL:

We can use DML, DQL and TCL commands only in PL/SQL Program. If we
want to use DDL commands in PL/SQL program, use Dynamic SQL.

All DML and TCL Commands syntax is same as SQL. But DQL command i.e
Select command syntax is different from SQL.

Syntax of Select Command in PL/SQL :

Select <column_list> into <variable_list>
from <table_name>
where <condition>;

Example:
Select ename,sal into x,y
from emp
where empno=7369;

x = SMITH, y=800

Select ename, sal into v_ename, v_sal from emp where

empno=v_empno;

dbms_output.put_line(v_ename || ' ' || v_sal);

END;
/
Output:
Enter value for empno: 7499
ALLEN 1600

Attribute Related Data Types:

There are two attribute related data types provided by PL/SQL. They are:
• %type
• %rowtype
%type:
• It is used to take the data type, field size of the table column.
• It avoids mismatch b/w data type & field size of variable & column
Advantage:
o We have no need to check data type and field size of a
column every time when we declare.
Syntax:

<variable_name> <table_name>.<column_name>%type;

Example:
v_ename emp.ename%type;

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 21

In above example, v_ename is a variable. Its data type will be taken as

“ename” column type of “emp” table.

%rowtype:
• It is used to hold entire row of a table.
• It can hold one record only at a time.
Advantages:
o It decreases number of variables
o It reduces complexity.
Example:
v_emprec emp%rowtype;
In the above example, v_emprec is variable of row type. It can hold
record of emp table.

Cursors

• Cursor is used to hold multiple rows.

• It is a pointer [reference] to the memory location of oracle instance
[RAM] where rows are stored.
• At a time, we can access one row only. To access multiple rows, use
Loop.

Steps to use Cursor:

To use cursor, we follow four steps. They are:
• Declaring the Cursor
• Opening the Cursor
• Fetching the Records from Cursor
• Closing the Cursor

Declaring the Cursor:

Syntax:

Cursor <Cursor_Name> Is <Select Statement>;

Example:
Cursor c1 Is Select empno,ename,sal from emp;

A cursor variable will be created with above statement.

Opening the Cursor:

Syntax:
Open <Cursor_Name>;

Example:
Open c1;

• When cursor is opened, select query will be submitted to Oracle.

• Oracle executes query & result will be copied into oracle instance.
• Now this memory location address will be given to the cursor c1.

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 2

Fetching the records from cursor:

Syntax:
Fetch <cursor_name> into <variable_list>;

Example:
Fetch c1 into x,y,z;

• Above statement fetches records and copies into x,y and z variables.
• One fetch statement can fetch one record only.
• To fetch multiple records, write fetch statement in loop.

Closing the Cursor:

Syntax:
Close <cursor_name>;

Example:
Close c1;

Above statement closes the cursor. It means reference to memory

location will be gone.

Cursor Attributes:
Cursor attributes are:
• %found
• %notfound
• %rowcount
• %isopen

Syntax to use cursor attribute:

<cursor_name><attribute_name>;

%found:
• It returns Boolean value true or false.
• If fetch is successful, it returns true.
• If fetch is unsuccessful, it returns false.

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 3

%notfound:
• It returns Boolean value true or false.
• It returns true when fetch is unsuccessful.
• It returns false when fetch is successful.

%RowCount:
• It returns number of rows fetched successfully.

%isopen:
• It returns Boolean value true or false.
• It returns true when cursor is open.
• It returns false when cursor is closed.

Program to display emp name and salary:

DECLARE
CURSOR c1 IS SELECT ename,sal FROM emp; --declare

CLOSE c1;
END ;
/

Output:

Cursor For Loop:

Syntax:
for <var> in <cursor_name>
Loop
//Statements
End Loop;

• Cursor For Loop is used to fetch the records from Cursor.

• We have no need to declare loop variable. It will be declared
implicitly as %rowtype.
• We have no need to open the cursor, fetch the records from cursor
and close the cursor. All these will be done implicitly.

Program to find sum of salaries of all employees using cursor for loop:
DECLARE

Ref Cursor:
• Using Ref Cursor, select statement can de changed during program
execution.
• Normal Cursor Select Statement is static. We cannot change it.
Whereas Ref Cursor Select statement is dynamic. We can change it
during program execution.
• To declare Ref Cursor variable, we use sys_refcursor data type.
• We can use it as procedure parameter.

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 9

Advantages:
• Ref Cursor can be used for multiple select statements.
• It can be used as procedure parameter.

Declaring Ref Cursor:

“sys_refcursor” data type is used to declare the ref cursor variable.

Syntax:
<variable_name> sys_refcursor;

Example:

Types of Cursor:
There are 2 types of cursors. They are:
• Implicit Cursor
• Explicit Cursor

Implicit Cursor:
• The cursor created implicitly to process SELECT or DML
Statements.
• Implicit Cursor name is => SQL

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 11

• We use cursor attributes as follows for implicit cursor:

SQL%NOTFOUND
SQL%FOUND
SQL%ISOPEN
SQL%ROWCOUNT

Explicit Cursor:
The cursor is declared and defined by developer.

Explicit cursors are 2 types. They are:

• Normal Cursor => can be used for one select statement.
• Ref Cursor => can be used for multiple select statements.

Exception Handling

Types of Errors:
There are 3 types of errors. They are:
• Compile Time Errors
• Logical Errors
• Run-Time Errors

Compile Time Errors:

The errors occur at compile time are called “Compile Time Errors”. These
errors occur due to syntax mistakes.
Example:
missing parenthesis [ ) ], missing semicolon [ ; ] , missing single quotes [ ‘ ]
…etc.

Logical Errors:
The errors occur due to mistakes in logic is called “Logical Error”. It will not
be checked by the Oracle. Developer is responsible to write the correct
logic. Otherwise, we get wrong results.
Example:
For Depositing amount logic is add amount to balance. If we subtract, it is
logic error.

Run-Time Errors:
The errors occur at run-time are called “Run-Time errors”. Run-Time errors
are very dangerous. When run-time error occurs, application will be
terminated abnormally in the middle of execution. It will not execute
remaining code.
Example:
Divide with zero
Record not found in table
Inserting duplicate value in primary key field

Exception Handling:
Exception means Run-Time Error. The mechanism of handling run-time
errors is called “Exception Handling”.

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 2

Advantages:
• It avoids abnormal termination.
• Executes remaining code.

In PL/SQL, define “Exception” block in PL/SQL program for Exception

Handling.

Syntax for Exception Handling:

DECLARE
<declaration_part>
BEGIN
<execution_part>

EXCEPTION
When <Exception_Name> Then
--Handling Code
When <Exception_Name> Then
--Handling Code
.
.
When Others Then
--Handling Code
End;
/

Types of Exceptions:
There are 2 types of exceptions. They are:
• System-Defined Exceptions
• User-Defined Exceptions

System-Defined Exceptions:
The exception raised implicitly by the Oracle is called “System-Defined
Exception”.
Examples:
ZERO_DIVIDE

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 3

VALUE_ERROR
NO_DATA_FOUND
DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX
TOO_MANY_ROWS

ZERO_DIVIDE:
This exception will be raised when we try to divide with zero.

VALUE_ERROR:
This exception will be raised when size is exceeded, or data type is
mismatched.

NO_DATA_FOUND:
This exception will be raised when data is not found in the table.

DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX:
This exception will be raised when we try to insert duplicate value in
primary key column.

TOO_MANY_ROWS:
This exception will be raised when select query returns multiple rows.

User-Defined Exceptions:
The exception declared and raised by the user is called "User-Defined
Exception".
Examples:
abc
xyz
comm_is_null
one_divide

Defining User-Defined Exceptions:

We follow 2 steps for user-defined exception. They are:
1. Declare the Exception
2. Raise the Exception

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 4

1. Declare the Exception:

“Exception” type is used to declare the Exception.

Syntax:
Exception_name Exception;

Example:
abc Exception;
one_divide Exception;

2. Raise the Exception:

“Raise” keyword is used to raise the exception.

Syntax:
Raise Exception_Name;

Example:
Raise abc;
Raise one_divide;

RAISE_Application_Error:
In PL/SQL we can raise user-defined exception in 2 ways. They are:
• Using RAISE keyword
• Using RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR

• RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR is a procedure that is used to raise the

error with user defined message & code.
• Oracle provides error numbers ranges from -20000 to -20999 for
user-defined exceptions.

Syntax:
Raise_Application_Error(<Error_Code>, <Error_Message>);

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 5

Example:
Raise_Application_Error(-20050,‘u cannot divide with one’);

pragma exception_init:
There are 2 types in system-defined exceptions. They are:
• Named Exceptions
• Unnamed Exceptions

Named Exceptions:
The exceptions which are having names are called “Named Exceptions”.
Example:
o No_DATA_FOUND
o ZERO_DIVIDE
o DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX
o VALUE_ERROR
o TOO_MANY_ROWS

Unnamed Exceptions:
The errors which are not having any names are called “Unnamed
Exceptions”. Error code & messages are there but name is not there for
unnamed exceptions.
Example:
Check Constraint

For exception handling, exception block will be defined. In exception block

with the help of exception name we handle the exception as following:
Exception
when zero_divide then
dbms_output.put_line('cannot divide with zero');

“pragma exception_init” is used to define the name for unnamed errors

pragma => is a directive [command]

exception_init() => is a function

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 6

Syntax:
pragma exception_init(<exception_name>, <error code>);

Example:
abc Exception;
pragma exception_init(abc,-2990);

Stored Procedures

• Procedure is a named PL/SQL block of statements that gets executed

on calling.
• Every procedure is defined to perform DML operation.
• We cannot call a procedure from SQL Command.
• “Execute” command is used to call the procedure from SQL Prompt.
• A procedure cannot return the value. But we can send the values out
of a procedure using OUT parameters.

Types of Procedures:
There are 2 types of procedures. They are:
• Stored Procedures
• Packaged Procedures

Stored Procedure:
A procedure which is defined in schema[user] is called “Stored
Procedure”.

Packaged Procedure:
A procedure which is defined in package is called “Packaged
Procedure”.

Syntax to define a procedure:

Create or Replace procedure <name>([<argument_list>]) IS/AS

<declararion-part>
BEGIN
<execution-part>
END;
/

A Procedure can be called from 3 places:

• From PL/SQL program
• From SQL Prompt
• From Front-End Applications

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 2

Types of Parameters:
The local variable which is declared in procedure header is called
“Parameter”. It can be also called as “Argument”.

There are 3 types of parameters. They are:

• IN Parameters [default]
• OUT Parameters
• IN OUT Parameters

Syntax to define a parameter:

<parameter_name> [<parameter_type>] <data_type>

Example:
x IN Number
y OUT Number
z IN OUT Number

IN parameter:
• It is default one.
• It is used to get value into procedure from out of the procedure.
• It is READ-ONLY Parameter. We cannot change this parameter value
in the procedure.
• ‘IN’ keyword is used to define it.
• It can be variable or constant value from the procedure call.

OUT Parameter:
• It is used to send the value out of the procedure.
• We must use ‘OUT’ keyword to define it.
• It must be variable from the procedure call. It cannot be constant.

IN OUT Parameter:
• It is used to get value into procedure & same variable can be used
to send value out of the procedure.
• We must use ‘IN OUT’ keyword to define it.
• It must be variable from the procedure call. It cannot be constant.

Oracle-PL/SQL 3

Parameter mapping techniques:

There are 3 parameter mapping techniques. They are:
• Positional Notation
• Named Notation
• Mixed Notation

Positional Notation:
In this, parameters are mapped based on the positions.

Named Notation:
In this, parameters are mapped based on the names.

Mixed Notation:
In this, parameters are mapped based on positions and names. A positional
parameter cannot be followed by named parameter.

Example:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE addnum(x number,y number, z number)
IS
a number;
BEGIN
a:=x+y+z;
dbms_output.put_line('sum=' || a);
END;
/

Positional Notation:
SQL> execute addnum(10,20,30);

Output:
sum=60

Named Notation:
SQL> execute addnum(y=>10,z=>20,x=>30);

Output:
sum=60

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 4

Mixed Notation:
SQL> execute addnum(10,z=>20,y=>30);

Output:

Packages

• Package is a named PL/SQL block.

• It is a collection of procedures, functions, variables ..etc.
• It is used to group the related procedures & functions.

Example:
Package Bank
opening_Account procedure
closing_Account procedure
deposit procedure
withdraw procedure
checkbal function
transaction_statement function

Advantages:
• We can group related procedures & functions.
• We can declare global variables. A global variable can be accessed
anywhere.
• It provides better maintenance.
• It provides better performance.
• We can overload the functions & procedures in a package.
• It provides Reusability.

Creating a Package:

To define a package we follow 2 steps. They are:

• Define package specification

• Define package body

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 2

Package Specification:
In this we declare the procedures and functions.

Syntax for Package Specification:

Create Or Replace Package <name>
IS / AS
Procedure Declarations
Function Declarations
End;
/

Package Body:
In this we define body of procedures and functions.

Syntax for Package Body:

Create Or Replace Package Body <name>
IS/AS
DEFINE PROCEDURES
DEFINE FUNCTIONS
END;
/

Example Programs on Packages:

Program-1:
Define a package with following procedures and functions:
• Hiring an employee
• Firing an employee
• Updating Salary
• Getting Experience
• Getting top-n salaried employees

Triggers

• Trigger is a named block of statements that gets executed

automatically when user submits DML/DDL Command.
• Procedure must be called explicitly. We have no need to call the
Trigger. Oracle calls the Trigger implicitly when we submit the
DML/DDL Command.

Trigger is mainly used for 3 purposes. They are:

• Trigger can be used to control the DMLs.
• It can be used for auditing. Auditing means, which user is performing
which action on which table at which time can be recorded to
implement the security.
• It can be used to implement complex rules or data validations.

Types of Triggers:
There are 3 types of Triggers. They are:
• Table Level Triggers
• Schema Level Triggers
• Database Level Triggers

Table Level Triggers:

A trigger which is created on table is called “Table Level Trigger”.

Syntax:

Create or Replace Trigger <Trigger_Name>

Before / After Insert or Update or Delete Trigger Event
On <Table_name>
[For Each Row] Trigger Level
Declare
--variable declaration
Begin
--Statements
End ;
/

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 2

Before Trigger:
o Before Trigger gets executed before performing DML
operation.
o First trigger gets executed.
o Then DML operation will be performed.

After Trigger:
o After Trigger gets executed after performing DML operation.
o First DML operation will be performed.
o Then trigger gets executed.

There are 2 Trigger Levels in Table Level Triggers. They are:

o Statement Level Trigger
o For Each Row Trigger

Statement Level Trigger:

A trigger gets executed only once for a Statement [Command] is called
“Statement Level Trigger”.

For Each Row Trigger:

A trigger gets executed once for each row affected by DML operation is
called “For Each Row Trigger”.

Schema Level Triggers:

A trigger which is created on schema [user] is called “Schema Level
Trigger”. DBA creates Schema Level Triggers. It is used to control one user.

Syntax:
Create or Replace Trigger <Trigger_Name>
Before / After <trigger_event>
On <User_name>.schema
Declare
--variable declaration
Begin
--Statements
End ;
/

NareshIT V.Shiwa Chaithanya

Oracle-PL/SQL 3

Database Level Triggers:

A trigger which is created on multiple users is called “Database Level
Trigger”. DBA creates Database Level Triggers. It is used to control multiple
users.

Syntax:
Create or Replace Trigger <Trigger_Name>
Before / After <trigger_event>
On Database
Declare
--variable declaration
Begin
--Statements
End ;
/

:new & :old variables:

• These are the bind variables.
• These are %rowtype variables.
• These can be also called as pseudo records.
• These can be used in trigger only.
• To access the table data in trigger, use these bind variables.
• These can be used in row level triggers only. Cannot be used in
statement level triggers.

DML operation :New :Old

INSERT Record will be copied to Null
:new variable
DELETE Null Record will be copied
to :old variable
UPDATE New record will be copied to Old Record will be
:new variable copied to :old variable

Oracle-PL/SQL 4

Compound Trigger:
• It is introduced in Oracle 11g.
• It is a set of triggers.
• It is used to define multiple actions in one trigger.
• Instead of defining multiple different triggers on one table, we can
define multiple actions in one trigger.

Syntax to define Compound Trigger:

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER <trigger-name>
FOR <trigger-action> ON <table-name>
COMPOUND TRIGGER
-- Global declaration.
g_global_variable VARCHAR2(10);
BEFORE STATEMENT IS
BEGIN
NULL; -- Do something here.
END BEFORE STATEMENT;
BEFORE EACH ROW IS
BEGIN
NULL; -- Do something here.
END BEFORE EACH ROW;
AFTER EACH ROW IS
BEGIN
NULL; -- Do something here.
END AFTER EACH ROW;
AFTER STATEMENT IS
BEGIN
NULL; -- Do shing here.
END AFTER STATEMENT;
END <trigger-name>;

System Variables:
System Variable Purpose
ora_dict_obj_type returns object type like TABLE, VIEW, INDEX ..etc
ora_dict_obj_name returns object name like EMP, DEPT ..etc
ora_login_user returns user name
ora_sysevent returns the action CREATE, DROP, TRUNCATE

Dynamic SQL

• We can use DML, DRL, TCL commands directly in PL/SQL program.

• We cannot use DDL commands directly in PL/SQL program.
• If we want to use DDL commands in PL/SQL program, use Dynamic
SQL.
• Dynamic SQL means, The SQL command which builds at run time is
called "Dynamic SQL".
• When we don't know exact table names & field names when we
develop the program then we can use "Dynamic SQL".
• "EXECUTE IMMEDIATE" command is used to execute Dynamic SQL
Command.
• We take SQL command as string to use it in "EXECUTE IMMEDIATE".
