Using the Collection Methods
The collection methods below help to generalize the code and make collections easier to use and also make your applications easier to maintain:
EXISTS
COUNT
LIMIT
FIRST and LAST
PRIOR and NEXT
EXTEND
TRIM
DELETE
A collection method is a built-in function or the process that operates on collections and is called using the dot notation. The syntax is as shown below:
collection_name.method_name[(parameters)]
The Collection methods can be called from the procedural statements but not from the SQL statements. The COUNT, EXISTS, LIMIT, FIRST, PRIOR, LAST, & NEXT are the functions, that appear as a part of an expression. And EXTEND, DELETE, and TRIM are the procedures that appear as a statement. Also, the EXISTS, TRIM, PRIOR, NEXT, EXTEND, and DELETE take parameters. Each parameter should be an integer expression. Only the EXISTS can be applied to automatically null collections. Whenever you apply another method to such type of collections, then the PL/SQL raises COLLECTION_IS_NULL.
Example of Null operator - NiNo Rule If we wanted to make HIGHER_OF adhere to "NULL in, NULL out"-let's call it the NiNo rule-we would have to write something like what is sho
Logical Operators The logical operators AND, NOT, and OR follow the tri-state logic shown in table below. The AND and OR are binary operators; NOT is a unary operator.
Grouping and Ungrouping in SQL Example specifying EXAM_MARK in place of COURSE in the main FROM clause. Example: Obtaining C_ER2 from EXAM_MARK SELECT CourseId, CAST
Relational Operators The relational operators permit you to compare randomly complex expressions. The list below provides the meaning of each operator:
Using FIRST and LAST FIRST and LAST return the first and last (minimum and maximum) index numbers in a collection. When the collection is empty, the FIRST and LAST return NULL
%ROWCOUNT When its cursor or cursor variable is opened, the %ROWCOUNT is zeroed. Before the first fetch, the %ROWCOUNT yields 0. Afterward, it yields the number of rows fetche
Assignment Statement: The assignment statement sets the present value of the variable, parameter, field, or element. The statement consists of an assignment target followed by
FOR-LOOP While the number of iterations through a WHILE loop is unknown till the loop completes, then the number of iterations through a FOR loop is known before the loop is ent
Using Cursor Attributes: Every cursor has 4 attributes: %NOTFOUND, %FOUND, %ISOPEN, and %ROWCOUNT. If appended to the cursor name, they return the helpful information about
Count Operator in SQL Example: Counting the students who have scored more than 50 in some exam (SELECT COUNT (*) FROM (SELECT DISTINCT StudentId FROM EXAM_MARK WHE
