Re: IF in PL/SQL-Block

Hi Mark,

thank you for your detailed answer.

I helped my self now with a dynamic SQL-Statement which I execute (immediate) in the IF-block instead of the direct delete-statement. But I still do not understand why the block was always running into the yes branch.

Unfortunately I chose a bad tablename for my example. The original table has a name unlike any oracle keyword. I meant different databases in terms off differnt instances. It is a historical thing. I am working in a public transport company and each bus yard has its own instance and the all deliver their data via materialized views into a central database.

And there is one instance which has a specific table. The PL/SQL-Block is part of an ascci sql file. This file is startet from an application. This appliccation is connected to one of the different instances. There is a menu item which starts the sql-file in an x-term window and the user can just see the output like "PL/SQL successfully completet" or "7 rows deleted" and I don't want him to see ORA-#### because in just one of the instances the said table is not included.

That was the reason for all this.

Again, thanx for your answer
