the correct syntax to do this? Mark for Review
(1) Points

RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR('My own message', -20001);

RAISE application_error;

RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(20001, 'My own message');

RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20001, 'My own message'); (*)

Correct Correct

3. Department-id 99 does not exist. What will be displayed when the

following code is executed?
DECLARE
v_deptname departments.department_name%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT department_name INTO v_deptname
FROM departments WHERE department_id = 99;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20201,'Department does not exist');
END;

Mark for Review

(1) Points

 5. The following code does not violate any constraints and will not
raise an ORA-02292 error. What will happen when the code is executed?
BEGIN
DECLARE
e_constraint_violation EXCEPTION;
PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(e_constraint_violation, -2292);
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Inner block message');
END;
EXCEPTION
WHEN e_constraint_violation THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Outer block message');
END;
Mark for Review
(1) Points

The code will fail because the exception is declared in the inner block but
is referenced in the outer block. (*)

'Inner block message' will be displayed.

The code will fail because line 4 should read: PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(-2292,
e_constraint_violation);

'Outer block message' will be displayed.

Correct Correct
