ExceptionHandling (PLSQL)

Exception handling in PL/SQL allows programs to continue execution and display friendly messages when errors occur. There are two types of exceptions: system-defined and user-defined. System-defined exceptions like NO_DATA_FOUND, TOO_MANY_ROWS, and ZERO_DIVIDE are predefined by Oracle and can be handled using their specific exception names. User-defined exceptions are created for custom error handling needs. The SQLCODE and SQLERRM properties provide the error code and message for exceptions raised.

EXCEPTION HANDLING IN PL/SQL

EXCEPTION: Runtime errors are called an Exception. If at any


time an error occurs in the PL/SQL block at that time PL/SQL
block execution is stopped and oracle returns an error message.
To continue the program execution and to display user
friendly message exception needs to be handle exception include
exception block in PL/SQL.
Exceptions are classified into two types. Those are
1) System/Pre Defined Exception
2) User Defined Exception
Syntax:
Declare
< Variables, cursor, user define exception>;
Begin
<statements…………..>;
Exception
When <Exception Name> then
<Error Statements…….>;
End;
1)System/Pre-Defined Exception:
These are defined by ORACLE by default. Whenever runtime error is
occurred in PL/SQL then we use an appropriate pre defined
exception in the program.

SOME PRE-DEFINED EXCEPTIONS:


i. No_data_found
ii. Too_many_rows
iii. Zero_divide
iv. Invalid _cursor
v. Cursor_already_open……etc

No_data_found: Whenever PL/SQL block carry the SELECT…..INTO


clause and also if required data not available in a table then ORACLE
server returns an exception.

Ex: ORA-1403: no data found

To handle this exception oracle provided “No_data_found” exception.

Ex:

DECLARE TENAME VARCHAR2(20);TSAL NUMBER(10);

BEGIN

SELECT ENAME,SAL INTO TENAME,TSAL FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE


EID=&EID;

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TENAME||','||TSAL);

EXCEPTION

WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('RECORD IS NOT FOUND');

END;

/
Too_many_rows: When SELECT…..INTO clause try to return more
than one value or one row then oracle server returns an error.

EX: ORA-1422: Exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows.

To handle for this error oracle provide “Too_many_rows” exception.

EX:

DECLARE TSAL NUMBER(10);

BEGIN

SELECT SAL INTO TSAL FROM EMPLOYEE;

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TSAL);

EXCEPTION

WHEN TOO_MANY_ROWS THEN

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('FETCHING MORE THAN ONE');

END;

Zero_divide:- In oracle when we are tried to perform division with zero


then oracle return an error.

ORA-1476: divisor is equal to zero.

To handle for this error oracle provide “Zero_divide” exception

EX:

DECLARE X NUMBER(10);Y NUMBER(10);Z NUMBER(10);

BEGIN

X:=&X;

Y:=&Y;
Z:=X/Y;

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('RESULT:-'||Z);

EXCEPTION

WHEN ZERO_DIVIDE THEN

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('SECOND NUMBER SHOULD NOT BE


ZERO');

END;

/
Invalid cursor: When we are not opening the cursor but we are try to
perform operations on cursor then ORACLE returns an error.

EX: ORA-1001: invalid cursor

To handle this error oracle provide “Invalid_cursor” exception.

EX:

declare

cursor c1 is select * from employee;

teid number(10);tename varchar2(20);tsal number(10);tage number(10);

begin

fetch c1 into teid,tename,tsal,tage;

dbms_output.put_line(teid||' '||tename||' '||tsal||' '||tage);

close c1;

exception

when invalid_cursor then

dbms_output.put_line('First you must open the cursor');


end;

/
Cursor_already_open: Before reopening the cursor we must close the
cursor properly otherwise ORACLE returns an error i.e.

EX: ORA-6511: Cursor_already_open

To handle this error oracle provide ‘Cursor_already_open’ exception.

EX:

declare

cursor c1 is select * from employee;

teid number(10);tename varchar2(20);tsal number(10);tage number(10);

begin

open c1;

loop

fetch c1 into teid,tename,tsal,tage;

exit when c1%notfound;

dbms_output.put_line(teid||' '||tename||' '||tsal||' '||tage);

end loop;

open c1;

exception

when cursor_already_open then

dbms_output.put_line('we must close the cursor before reopen');

end;
SQLCODE & SQLERRM: PL/SQL provides following built-in
properties which are used in error handling.
SQLCODE returns error code.
SQLERRM returns error message.
Ex:
DECLARE
X NUMBER(10);
Y NUMBER(20);
Z NUMBER(10);
BEGIN
X:=&X;
Y:=&Y;
Z:=X/Y;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(Z);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(SQLCODE);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(SQLERRM);
END;
OUTPUT:
Enter value for x: 10
Enter value for y: 2
5
Enter value for x: 10
Enter value for y: 0
-1476---------error code
ORA-01476: divisor is equal to zero------error message
