RE: PL/SQL-if-statement

Hi Q, how's lovely MN?

That was in response to other people in our company who have their self-important MS certifications spelled out in their entirety in their signature.

Instead of spelling out 'Oracle Certified Professional - Database Administrator' in my signature I figured I could be creative.  The only title I nixed was Supreme Queen Office B*ch...  though it is rather appropriate.  I also was promoted to 'Senior Dba' last week but I don't think that's appropriate, either...  Titles are nothing !  They pay me way too much for how much goofing off I do.

It's been a long week and tomorrow afternoon is Pool Party Time at my house.  Everyone's invited :)  Captain Morgan and Sir Absolut will be making an appearance.

Cheers All!!!

How can I change  this pl/sql code, in the while-statement  maybe  so that if the field OWNER_NO is NULL, then it  should  be written six characters?

The code looks like
this:

"IF  recCursor.OWNER_NO is null then
vOWNER_NO := '000000';
else
v_OWNER_NO:= to_char(recCursor.OWNER_NO); WHILE length(vOWNER_NO)  < 6 LOOP
vOWNER_NO '0'0' || vOWNER_NO;
END LOOP;
END IF; How shoud I write to fix this script so therw will be written out 6 characters if the field OWNER_NO is empty. I want to use the WHILE LOOP. Any one whom can help me with this?
