About PL/SQL
PL/SQL is Oracle Corporations procedural
language extension to SQL, the standard data
access language for relational databases.
PL/SQL offers modern software engineering
features such as data encapsulation,
exception handling, information hiding, and
therefore brings state-of-the-art programming
capability.

Handling Variables in PL/SQL


Declare and initialize variables in the
declaration section.
Assign new values to variables in the
executable section.
Pass values into PL/SQL blocks through
parameters.
View results through output variables.

Declaring PL/SQL Variables


Syntax
identifier [CONSTANT] datatype [NOT
NULL]
[:= | DEFAULT expr];

Examples
Declare
v_hiredate
v_deptno
v_location
c_comm

DATE;
NUMBER(2) NOT NULL := 10;
VARCHAR2(13) := 'Atlanta';
CONSTANT NUMBER := 1400;

Declaring PL/SQL Variables


The Guidelines
Follow naming conventions.
Initialize variables designated as NOT
NULL and CONSTANT.
Initialize identifiers by using the
assignment operator (:=) or the
DEFAULT reserved word.
Declare at most one identifier per line.
Two variables can have the same name,
provided they are in different blocks.

Assigning Values to Variables


Syntax
identifier := expr;
Examples
Set a predefined hiredate for new employees.
v_hiredate := '01-JAN-04';
Set the employee name to Paul.

v_ename := 'Paul';

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE
Example
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DEFINE p_annual_sal = 60000
DECLARE
v_sal NUMBER(9,2) := &p_annual_sal;
BEGIN
v_sal := v_sal/12;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('The monthly salary is ' ||
TO_CHAR(v_sal));
END;

Commenting Code
Prefix single-line comments with two dashes (--).
Place multi-line comments between the symbols
/* and */.
Example
...
v_sal NUMBER (9,2);
BEGIN
/* Compute the annual salary based on the
monthly salary input from the user */
v_sal := &p_monthly_sal * 12;
END;
-- This is the end of the block
