No_data_found异常正在传播到外部块吗？

Question

In my code i am entering the salary which is not available in employees table and then again inserting duplicate employee_id in primary key column of employee table in exception block where i am handling no data found exception but i do not why No data found exception in the end also?

OUTPUT coming:

Enter some other sal
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("SCOTT"."EMPLOYEES"."LAST_NAME")
ORA-01403: no data found  --This should not come according to logic

This is the code:

DECLARE
v_sal number:=&p_sal;
v_num number;
BEGIN
   BEGIN
            select salary INTO v_num from employees where salary=v_sal;
   EXCEPTION
           WHEN no_data_found THEN
                   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Enter some other sal');

           INSERT INTO employees (employee_id)values(100) ;
   END;
EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS THEN
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(sqlerrm);
END;       

Answer 1

The behaviour is that errors hurled in the EXCEPTIONS block get concatenated to SQLERRM, and hence propagated upwards. I grant you it is not documented but we can clearly see it here:

SQL> declare
  2      v_sal t23.sal%type := 230;
  3      l_num t23.sal%type;
  4  begin
  5      begin
  6          begin
  7              select sal into l_num
  8              from t23 where sal = v_sal;
  9          exception
 10              when no_data_found then
 11                  dbms_output.put_line('inner exception::'||sqlerrm);
 12                  insert into t23  values (99, 'MR KNOX', v_sal);
 13          end;
 14      exception
 15          when dup_val_on_index then
 16              dbms_output.put_line('middle exception::'||sqlerrm);
 17              insert into t23 (id, sal) values (99, v_sal);
 18      end;
 19  exception
 20      when others then
 21          dbms_output.put_line('outer exception::'||sqlerrm);
 22  end;
 23  /
inner exception::ORA-01403: no data found
middle exception::ORA-00001: unique constraint (APC.T23_PK) violated
ORA-01403: no data found
outer exception::ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("APC"."T23"."LAST_NAME")
ORA-00001: unique constraint (APC.T23_PK) violated
ORA-01403: no data found

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL>  

Note: if there is a nested exception block which successfully handles the thrown exception it is not concatenated to SQLERRM. That is, the SQLERRM consists of a stack of unsucessfully handled exceptions.

Answer 2

In your exception block you try to insert into employees , but do not set the column last_name , which is not NULL -able.

ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("SCOTT"."EMPLOYEES"."LAST_NAME")

The ORA-01403: no data found is part of the stack-trace, caused by your failed select.

You can either define DEFAULT values for all not-nullable columns or change your insert:

INSERT INTO employees (employee_id, last_name, ...) Values (100, 'Scott', ...);
