When declaring variables you must also specify the block where the variables are going to be used.
- attrId = Variable name
- ':=' = Sets the variable to a value
DECLARE
attrId number;
BEGIN
attId:= seq_attr.nextval;
dbms_output.put_line (attId);
END;
Collections
Collections are more of an array then a TABLE. In the example below MyListType is just the name of the array type and it is declared to the variable myList.
myList.FIRST = The first option in the list, example 'option1'
myList.LAST = The last option in the list, example 'option3'
x = The index in the array.
DECLARE
TYPE MyListType IS TABLE OF VARCHAR(21);
myList MyListType := MyListType('option1', 'option2', 'option3');
BEGIN
FOR x IN myList.FIRST .. myList.LAST
LOOP
dbms_output.put_line('MyList:' || myList(x));
END LOOP;
END;
SELECT INTO
You can set a variable from a query by using INTO.
DECLARE
v_count NUMBER;
v_total NUMBER;
BEGIN
select count(id) INTO v_count FROM user;
END;
