Hi,

Can you suggest me how to raise a userdefined exception for an no_data_found exception..?

I have done a non predefined exception for no_data_found
DECLARE
   v_ename       emp.ename%TYPE;
   v_character   VARCHAR2 (100);
   DATA          EXCEPTION;
   PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT (DATA, 100);
BEGIN
   SELECT ename
     INTO v_ename
     FROM emp
    WHERE empno = 10000;--there is no emp record with empno=10000
    IF (SQL%NOTFOUND)
   THEN
      RAISE DATA;
   END IF;
EXCEPTION
   WHEN DATA
   THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('no data found exception');
END;




Can we do the same implementation using an user defined exception

Regards,
Pointers.

* Remove DATA EXCEPTION
* Remove PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT (DATA, 100)
* REMOVE RAISE exceptioon


 EXCEPTION
   WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
   THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('no data found exception');
   END;

U have to explicitly define the expection

such as

EXCEPTION 
     When SQL%NOTFOUND 
     THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('YOUR COMMENT'(wat ever u want to display in the output));

END;

Use RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR, see: Defining Your Own Error Messages: Procedure RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR

Sorry for providing wrong answers. Given example of predefined exception instead of "user defined exception" (what was asked)

Summary of Predefined PL/SQL Exceptions
Is this that you want?

From your example if you wanted to raise a custom exception your first step has to be either catching the exception thrown by the SELECT into or or selecting the data in such a way that no exception is thrown when nothing is encountered now. As your code is now the explicit call to raise the DATA exception never happens.

Look at the following example I subbed out your no data found exception for a 'dump string is not valid' (-77) exception. If you run the code you will get a no-data-found exception because the exception is raised before you ever reach your explicit raise of the DATA exception.

DECLARE
   v_ename       VARCHAR2 (10);
   v_character   VARCHAR2 (100);
   DATA          EXCEPTION;
   PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT (DATA, -77);
BEGIN
   SELECT dummy
     INTO v_ename
     FROM DUAL
    WHERE dummy = 'Z';                 --there is no emp record with empno=10000

   IF (SQL%NOTFOUND)
   THEN
      RAISE DATA;
   END IF;
EXCEPTION
   WHEN DATA
   THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('no data found exception');
END;

You don't need to initialize the exception with a value to use it.
Remove your "PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT" and it works as well.

No he is going to get a NO_DATA_FOUND from select statement, removing the pragma just changes the nature of the exception that he never gets to throw....

Well, I got "no data found".

no data found exception

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

There it goes.

Isn't using the use of predefined exception will be better for the above pl/sql code rather than making more lines of code?

Of course, but I think the purpose here is just how to use.
