Oracle/PLSQL: WHERE CURRENT OF Statement

Oracle/PLSQL: WHERE CURRENT OF Statement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you plan on updating or deleting records that have been referenced by a Select For Update statement, you can use the Where Current Of statement.

译：如果你想删除或者更新被Select For Update引用的记录，你可以使用Where Current Of语句。

The syntax for the Where Current Of statement is either:

UPDATE table_name

    SET set_clause

    WHERE CURRENT OF cursor_name;

OR

DELETE FROM table_name

WHERE CURRENT OF cursor_name;

The Where Current Of statement allows you to update or delete the record that was last fetched by the cursor.

译：Where Current Of语句允许你更新或者是删除最后由cursor取的记录。

fetch c1 into cnumber;

if c1%notfound then

     cnumber := 9999;

end if;

close c1;
