While executing below procedure foreign key relation ship relationship is violated.
How to handle this error?



create or replace procedure delete_dept (v_deptno number) as
dept_exists_exception exception;
begin
delete dept where deptno =v_deptno;
raise dept_exists_exception;
exception
when dept_exists_exception then
dbms_output.put_line('cannot delete department');
end delete_dept;

What is the problem? Correctly read your procedure and handle the exception as usual.

I advice to:
read and follow OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format. Use the "Preview Message" button.
Please always post your Oracle version (4 decimals).

And to read:
Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals
PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
There are sections on exception and how to handle them, just search this word in index.

Regards
Michel

In my opinion, you don't have to do anything about it. Oracle is smart enough to tell you that foreign key constraint was violated. Anyone who is about to delete the department the way you do it (PL/SQL procedure invoked from SQL*Plus or similar client software, because DBMS_OUTPUT's result wouldn't be visible elsewhere) would surely understand the default Oracle message.

Make use of these data:
Dept Table:

DeptNo DeptName

10 Engg



Emp Table

Empno Deptno

111 10


By passing "10" as deptno to the procedure will give "child record found" error. I want to raise an user defined error instead of system defined error.
