Oracle PL/SQL interview Questions Database

    1. Implicit cursors are used for SQL statements that are not named.
    2. Developers should use implicit cursors with great care.

    1. It causes the cursor to close
    2. It causes the cursor to open
    3. It loads the current row values into variables
    4. It creates the variables to hold the current row values

  1. Read the following code:
10.  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE find_cpt
11.  (v_movie_id {Argument Mode} NUMBER, v_cost_per_ticket {argument mode} NUMBER)
12.  IS
13.  BEGIN
14.    IF v_cost_per_ticket  > 8.5 THEN
15.  SELECT  cost_per_ticket
16.  INTO            v_cost_per_ticket
17.  FROM            gross_receipt
18.  WHERE   movie_id = v_movie_id;
19.    END IF;
20.  END;
 
 
Which mode should be used for V_COST_PER_TICKET?
    1. IN
    2. OUT
    3. RETURN
    4. IN OUT
    5.  
  1. Read the following code:

23.        {trigger information}
24.       BEGIN
25.        {additional code}
26.       END;
The trigger code should only execute when the column, COST_PER_TICKET, is greater than $3.
Which trigger information will you add?
    1. WHEN (new.cost_per_ticket > 3.75)
    2. WHEN (:new.cost_per_ticket > 3.75
    3. WHERE (new.cost_per_ticket > 3.75)
    4. WHERE (:new.cost_per_ticket > 3.75)

  1. What is the maximum number of handlers processed before the PL/SQL block is exited when an exception occurs?
    1. Only one
    2. All that apply
    3. All referenced
    4. None

  1. For which trigger timing can you reference the NEW and OLD qualifiers?
    1. Statement and Row

    3. Row only
    4. Oracle Forms trigger

  1. Read the following code:
30.  CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_budget(v_studio_id IN NUMBER)
RETURN number IS
 
       
v_yearly_budget NUMBER;
 
       
BEGIN
       SELECT  yearly_budget
       INTO            v_yearly_budget
       FROM            studio
       WHERE   id = v_studio_id;
 
       
       RETURN v_yearly_budget;
END;
Which set of statements will successfully invoke this function within SQL*Plus?
    1. VARIABLE g_yearly_budget NUMBER
      EXECUTE g_yearly_budget := GET_BUDGET(11);
    2. VARIABLE g_yearly_budget NUMBER
      EXECUTE :g_yearly_budget := GET_BUDGET(11);
    3. VARIABLE :g_yearly_budget NUMBER
      EXECUTE :g_yearly_budget := GET_BUDGET(11);
    4. VARIABLE g_yearly_budget NUMBER
      :g_yearly_budget := GET_BUDGET(11);
31.  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE update_theater
32.  (v_name IN VARCHAR v_theater_id IN NUMBER) IS
33.  BEGIN
34.         UPDATE  theater
35.         SET             name = v_name
36.         WHERE   id = v_theater_id;
37.  END update_theater;
 
 
  1. When invoking this procedure, you encounter the error:
ORA-000: Unique constraint(SCOTT.THEATER_NAME_UK) violated.
How should you modify the function to handle this error?
    1. An user defined exception must be declared and associated with the error code and handled in the EXCEPTION section.
    2. Handle the error in EXCEPTION section by referencing the error code directly.
    3. Handle the error in the EXCEPTION section by referencing the UNIQUE_ERROR predefined exception.
    4. Check for success by checking the value of SQL%FOUND immediately after the UPDATE statement.

  1. Read the following code:
40.  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE calculate_budget IS
41.  v_budget        studio.yearly_budget%TYPE;
42.  BEGIN
43.         v_budget := get_budget(11);
44.         IF v_budget < 30000
45.                        THEN
46.                 set_budget(11,30000000);
47.         END IF;
48.  END;
You are about to add an argument to CALCULATE_BUDGET. What effect will this have?
    1. The GET_BUDGET function will be marked invalid and must be recompiled before the next execution.
    2. The SET_BUDGET function will be marked invalid and must be recompiled before the next execution.
    3. Only the CALCULATE_BUDGET procedure needs to be recompiled.
    4. All three procedures are marked invalid and must be recompiled.


  1. Which procedure can be used to create a customized error message?
    1. RAISE_ERROR
    2. SQLERRM
    3. RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR
    4. RAISE_SERVER_ERROR

  1. The CHECK_THEATER trigger of the THEATER table has been disabled. Which command can you issue to enable this trigger?
    1. ALTER TRIGGER check_theater ENABLE;
    2. ENABLE TRIGGER check_theater;
    3. ALTER TABLE check_theater ENABLE check_theater;
    4. ENABLE check_theater;

  1. Examine this database trigger
52.  CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER prevent_gross_modification
53.  {additional trigger information}
54.  BEGIN
55.         IF TO_CHAR(sysdate, DY) = MON
56.         THEN
57.         RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000,Gross receipts cannot be deleted on Monday);
58.         END IF;
59.  END;
This trigger must fire before each DELETE of the GROSS_RECEIPT table. It should fire only once for the entire DELETE statement. What additional information must you add?
    1. BEFORE DELETE ON gross_receipt
    2. AFTER DELETE ON gross_receipt
    3. BEFORE (gross_receipt DELETE)
    4. FOR EACH ROW DELETED FROM gross_receipt



  1. Examine this function:
61.  CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION set_budget
62.  (v_studio_id IN NUMBER, v_new_budget IN NUMBER) IS
63.  BEGIN
64.         UPDATE  studio
65.         SET             yearly_budget = v_new_budget
       WHERE   id = v_studio_id;
 
       
       IF SQL%FOUND THEN
               RETURN TRUEl;
       ELSE
               RETURN FALSE;
       END IF;
 
       
       COMMIT;
END;
Which code must be added to successfully compile this function?
    1. Add RETURN right before the IS keyword.
    2. Add RETURN number right before the IS keyword.
    3. Add RETURN boolean right after the IS keyword.
    4. Add RETURN boolean right before the IS keyword.

  1. Under which circumstance must you recompile the package body after recompiling the package specification?
    1. Altering the argument list of one of the package constructs
    2. Any change made to one of the package constructs
    3. Any SQL statement change made to one of the package constructs
    4. Removing a local variable from the DECLARE section of one of the package constructs

  1. Procedure and Functions are explicitly executed. This is different from a database trigger. When is a database trigger executed?
    1. When the transaction is committed
    2. During the data manipulation statement
    3. When an Oracle supplied package references the trigger
    4. During a data manipulation statement and when the transaction is committed

  1. Which Oracle supplied package can you use to output values and messages from database triggers, stored procedures and functions within SQL*Plus?
    1. DBMS_DISPLAY
    2. DBMS_OUTPUT
    3. DBMS_LIST
    4. DBMS_DESCRIBE

  1. What occurs if a procedure or function terminates with failure without being handled?
    1. Any DML statements issued by the construct are still pending and can be committed or rolled back.
    2. Any DML statements issued by the construct are committed
    3. Unless a GOTO statement is used to continue processing within the BEGIN section, the construct terminates.
    4. The construct rolls back any DML statements issued and returns the unhandled exception to the calling environment.

  1. Examine this code
71.  BEGIN
72.         theater_pck.v_total_seats_sold_overall := theater_pck.get_total_for_year;
73.  END;
For this code to be successful, what must be true?
    1. Both the V_TOTAL_SEATS_SOLD_OVERALL variable and the GET_TOTAL_FOR_YEAR function must exist only in the body of the THEATER_PCK package.

    1. Only the GET_TOTAL_FOR_YEAR variable must exist in the specification of the THEATER_PCK package.

    1. Only the V_TOTAL_SEATS_SOLD_OVERALL variable must exist in the specification of the THEATER_PCK package.

    1. Both the V_TOTAL_SEATS_SOLD_OVERALL variable and the GET_TOTAL_FOR_YEAR function must exist in the specification of the THEATER_PCK package.

  1. A stored function must return a value based on conditions that are determined at runtime. Therefore, the SELECT statement cannot be hard-coded and must be created dynamically when the function is executed. Which Oracle supplied package will enable this feature?
    1. DBMS_DDL
    2. DBMS_DML
    3. DBMS_SYN
    4. DBMS_SQL
