PL/SQL Loops , Iterative Statement in PL/SQL


Loops are used to repeat execution of a statement or a set of statements multiple times on base of a condition or expression
EXIT and EXIT-WHEN keywords are used to terminate the loop

EXIT- terminates the loop unconditionally and passes control to the next statement after the loop
EXIT-WHEN- terminates the loop when EXIT-WHEN clause is checked and if returns true then the loop is terminated and control is passed to next statement after the loop

The basic syntax of Loop in PL/SQL is like this

LOOP

Set of statements

END LOOP;

and if selector value is equal to value or expression in WHEN clause then corresponding THEN clause will execute and process the statements
