Guang,

Well, you can do the obvious:

Select count(*)
Into l_count
>From Customers

Where RID = p_CustomerRID;
If l_count = 0 then

      RaiseError.NoRecordUpdated('Customers'); End if;

And then put the rest of your code after this.

Subject: how to capture the error when RID value not in the table (pl/sql question)

I have the following code in a pl/sql procedure (oracle 9i), which is called a lot.

• RID is PK column on table Customers
• p_name is a passed-in parameter
• p_CustomerRID is a passed-in parameter

   SAVEPOINT sp123;

    UPDATE Customers
    SET Name = p_name
    WHERE RID = p_CustomerRID;

   IF SQL%ROWCOUNT > 1 THEN

      ROLLBACK WORK TO SAVEPOINT sp123;
      RaiseError.TooManyUpdates('Customers');
   ELSIF SQL%ROWCOUNT = 0 THEN
      RaiseError.NoRecordUpdated('Customers');

   END IF; The code works fine now. But I would to change the update sql to

      UPDATE Customers
      SET Name = p_name
      WHERE RID = p_CustomerRID
      AND Name != p_name;

to avoid unnecessary redo writing. But if I check SQL%ROWCOUNT for this new query and get 0, I would not know if it is due to a non-exist RID (Which I want to capture this situation) or simply p_name already exists for that RID. Is there a better way of doing this kind of thing, minimize redo writing and capture the error the same time with only one sql run?

TIA. Guang
