PART-1. Control Structures. (10pts)

1.) Write a PL/SQL block:

To find the number of airports from the countries table for a supplied country_name.
Based on this number, display a customized message as follows:

 2.) Using any of the PL/SQL looping statement, write a PL/SQL block to display the
country_id and country_name values from the WF_COUNTRIES table for country_id
whose values range from 51 through 55. Test your variable to see when it reaches 55.

PART-2. Explicit Cursor and Record Structure (10 Points)
Create a PL/SQL block that fetches and displays the six employees with the highest
salary. For each of these employees, display the first name, last name, job id, and
salary. Order your output so that the employee with the highest salary is displayed first.
Use %ROWTYPE and the explicit cursor attribute

PART-3. Explicit Cursor and User Defined Structure (15 Points)

Write a PL/SQL block to read through rows in the countries table for all countries in region
5 (South America region). Country name must be entered by the user. For each selected
country, display the country_name, national_holiday_date, and national_holiday_name.
Use a record structure (user defined) to hold all the columns selected from the countries
table.

PART-4. Exception Handling. (15 Points)

A. Add an exception handler to the following code to trap the following predefined Oracle
Server errors:
NO_DATA_FOUND, TOO_MANY_ROWS, and DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX. (5 pts)

 Note: Test your block twice using each of the following language substrings: ba, ce.
There are several language_names beginning with “Ba,” but none beginning with “Ce”.

B. Now test your block a third time using substring: al. There is exactly one language_name
beginning with
“Al”. Note that language_id 80 (Arabic) already exists. Explain the output. (5 pts)

Tried testing the above code with <substring> = al - Then it gives error DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX as record
with language id 80 already exists in the languages table.

C. Now (keeping the substring as “al”), add a non_predefined exception handler to trap then
encountered oracle exception code. Rerun the code and explain the result. (5 pts)

The code gives error message ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("languages"."language_name")
Added non-predined exception named e_insert_excep to handle NULL value insertion in language name
column of language table.
