Question
Can we use multiple exceptions in pl/sql?
Here is my requirement. If I get more than one row on first name and last name join then I have to see if there is a match on the middle initial. After looking at the middle initial if there is no match found then throw an error no data found else throw an oracle error.
I did something like below and wanted to know if there is a better way of handling this.
I also like to know if we can use multiple exceptions in one begin block. Something like this
begin
----
----
exception
when too_many rows then
select.............;
if ....then...else..;
exception when no_data_found then
........
exception when others then
select ----
---;
DECLARE
l_tmp_mem member.mem_id%type;
l_tmp_sub member.sub_id%type;
BEGIN
SELECT mem_id, sub_id
into l_tmp_mem, l_tmp_sub
from member m
where lastname = p_last_name
and firstname = p_frst_name;
Exception
WHEN TOO_MANY_ROWS THEN
SELECT mem_id, sub_id
into l_tmp_mem, l_tmp_sub
from member m
where lastname = p_last_name
and firstname = p_frst_name
and middlename = p_mdle_nm;
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
dbms_output.put_line('no match found');
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('ORACLE ERROR' || SQLERRM);
END;
