(Choose all correct answers)
Use an exception handler whenever there is any possibility of an error occurring.Handle specific named exceptions where possible, instead of relying on WHEN OTHERS.Test your code with different combinations of data to see what potential errors can happen.Allow exceptions to propagate back to the calling environment. (*)
Include a WHEN OTHERS handler as the first handler in the exception section. (*)
8. Examine the following code. Why does this exception handler not follow good practice guidelines? (Choose two.)
DECLARE v_dept_name departments.department_name%TYPE; BEGIN SELECT department_name INTO v_dept_name FROM departments WHERE department_id = 75; EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('A select returned more than one row'); END;

Mark for
Review (1) Points
WHEN (-2292, excepname) THEN ナ
SQLCODE (-2292, excepname);

Mark for
Review (1) Points
END;
The exception will be raised and "Cannot be null" will be displayed.The code will not execute because the syntax of PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT is wrong.The code will not execute because PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT must be coded in the DECLARE section. (*)The code will not execute because the syntax of the INSERT statement is wrong.
9. Examine the following code. The UPDATE statement will raise an ORA-02291 exception.
BEGIN UPDATE employees SET department_id = 45; EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN INSERT INTO error_log_table VALUES (SQLCODE); END;

Mark for
Review (1) Points
The code will fail because SQLCODE has not been declared.The code will fail because we access error message numbers by using SQLERRNUM, not SQLCODE.The code will execute and insert error number 02291 into error_log_table.The code will fail because we cannot use functions like SQLCODE directly in a SQL statement. (*)
10. Which type of exception MUST be explicitly raised by the PL/SQL programmer? Mark for
Review (1) Points

Mark for
Review (1) Points
You cannot use SQL%ROWCOUNT in conditional control statements such as IF or CASE.NO_DATA_FOUND has not been DECLAREd.
Nothing is wrong; the code will execute correctly. (*)
Line A should be: HANDLE NO_DATA_FOUND

Mark for
Review (1) Points
The code will not execute because it contains at least one syntax error.Message 1 Message 2 Message 3 Message 4The code will execute but will return an unhandled exception to the calling environment.
(*)Message 1 Message 3 Message 4Message 1 Message 3

Review
e_excep1 EXCEPTION; e_excep2 EXCEPTION; BEGIN RAISE e_excep1; EXCEPTION WHEN e_excep1 THEN BEGIN RAISE e_excep2; END; END;
(1) Points
It will fail to compile because you cannot have a subblock inside an exception section.It will compile successfully and return an unhandled e_excep2 to the calling environment. (*)It will fail to compile because you cannot declare more than one exception in the same block.It will fail to compile because e_excep1 is out of scope in the subblock.
