Oracle SQL problem with declare variable from table

Question

I have problem with make variable from table.

DECLARE
 liczba1 PLS_INTEGER;
 
 BEGIN
Select liczba1 := MAX(EMPLOYEE_ID) FROM PRACOWNICY;
 
 END;

That is the problem

ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

I don't have any idea why it's not working

Answer 1

I think you want into :

SELECT MAX(EMPLOYEE_ID) INTO liczba1 FROM PRACOWNICY
