In PL/SQL programs, a NULL statement can be used to indicate "do nothing", which is also known as an empty statement.

A NULL statement acts as a placeholder and can give meaning to certain statements, improving the readability of the program.

The following shows example use of NULL statements.

    
       DECLARE
    ...
BEGIN
    ...
    IF v_num IS NULL THEN
        NULL; --No data needs to be processed.
    END IF;
END;
