The IF-THEN-ELSIF statement allows you to choose between several alternatives. An IF-THEN statement can be followed by an optional ELSIF...ELSE statement. The ELSIF clause lets you add additional conditions. When using IF-THEN-ELSIF statements there are few points to keep in mind. Its ELSIF not ELSEIF An IF-THEN statement can have zero or one ELSE's and it must come after any ELSEIF's. An IF-THEN statement can have zero to many ELSIF's and they must come before the ELSE. Once an ELSIF succeeds, none of the remaining ELSIF's or ELSE's will be tested.
Syntax:
The syntax of an IF-THEN-ELSIF Statement in PL/SQL programming language is:
IF(boolean_expression 1)THEN S1; -- Executes when the boolean expression 1 is true ELSIF( boolean_expression 2) THEN S2; -- Executes when the boolean expression 2 is true ELSIF( boolean_expression 3) THEN S3; -- Executes when the boolean expression 3 is true ELSE S4; -- executes when the none of the above condition is true END IF;
Example:
DECLARE a number(3) := 100; BEGIN IF ( a = 10 ) THEN dbms_output.put_line('Value of ELSIF ( a = 20 ) THEN dbms_output.put_line('Value of ELSIF ( a = 30 ) THEN dbms_output.put_line('Value of ELSE dbms_output.put_line('None of END IF; dbms_output.put_line('Exact value END; /
a is 10' ); a is 20' ); a is 30' ); the values is matching'); of a is: '|| a );
When the above code is executed at SQL prompt, it produces the following result:
None of the values is matching Exact value of a is: 100 PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
