Oracle errors handling

Question

I have such code:

DECLARE
  e_not_exist EXCEPTION;
  PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT(e_not_exist, -942);
  car_name VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
  select name_of_factory into c         


        

Answer 1

You can't do that with static SQL. The error is coming when the code is being compiled, not executed. Try this instead:

 execute immediate 'select name_of_factory from car where car_id = 1' 
                    into car_name ;
