PL/SQL Cursor: Exercise-13 with Solution

Write a program in PL/SQL to create an explicit cursor with for loop.

Sample Solution:

PL/SQL Code:

DECLARE
    CURSOR emp_cur_detail IS
      SELECT department_name,
             d.department_id,
             first_name,
             last_name,

      FROM   departments d
             join employees e
               ON e.department_id = d.department_id
      WHERE  job_id = 'ST_CLERK'
             AND salary > 3200;
BEGIN
    FOR emp_rec IN emp_cur_detail LOOP
        dbms_output.Put_line('Name: '
                             ||emp_rec.first_name
                             ||' '
                             ||emp_rec.last_name
                             ||Chr(9)
                             ||'Department Name: '
                             ||emp_rec.department_name
                             ||Chr(9)
                             ||'Department ID: '
                             ||emp_rec.department_id
                             ||Chr(9)
                             ||'Job ID: '
                             ||emp_rec.job_id
                             ||Chr(9)
                             ||'Salary: '
                             ||emp_rec.salary);
    END LOOP;
END;
