CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_loop(i in integer, count out integer) 
AS 
    BEGIN 
        count:=0; 
        LOOP 
        IF count > i THEN 
            raise info 'count is %. ', count;  
            EXIT; 
        ELSE 
            count:=count+1; 
        END IF; 
        END LOOP; 
    END;
/

CALL proc_loop(10,5);

The loop must be exploited together with EXIT; otherwise, a dead loop occurs.

WHILE_LOOP Statements

Syntax diagram

Figure 2 while_loop::=

If the conditional expression is true, a series of statements in the WHILE statement are repeatedly executed and the condition is decided each time the loop body is executed.

CREATE TABLE integertable(c1 integer) ; 
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_while_loop(maxval in integer) 
AS 
    DECLARE 
    i int :=1;  
    BEGIN 
        WHILE i < maxval LOOP 
            INSERT INTO integertable VALUES(i); 
            i:=i+1; 
        END LOOP; 
    END; 
/

-- Invoke a function.
CALL proc_while_loop(10);

-- Delete the stored procedure and table.
DROP PROCEDURE proc_while_loop;
DROP TABLE integertable;

FOR_LOOP (Integer variable) Statement

Syntax diagram

Figure 3 for_loop::=
  • The variable name is automatically defined as the integer type and exists only in this loop. The value of name ranges from lower_bound to upper_bound.
  • When the keyword REVERSE is used, the value of lower_bound must be greater than or equal to that of upper_bound; otherwise, the loop body is not executed.

FOR_LOOP Query Statements

Syntax diagram

Figure 4 for_loop_query::=

The variable target is automatically defined, its type is the same as that in the query result, and it is valid only in this loop. The value of target is the query result.

FORALL Batch Query Statements

Syntax diagram

Figure 5 forall::=
  • The variable index is automatically defined as the integer type and exists only in this loop. The value of index falls between the value of low_bound and the value of upper_bound.
  • If SAVE EXCEPTIONS is specified, exceptions occurred during DML execution in the loop body are saved in SQL&BULK_EXCEPTIONS and an exception is thrown after the execution is complete. If there is no abnormal execution result in the loop, the loop will not be rolled back in the current subtransaction.
