是的,你必须使用一个变量。您不能直接在PL / sql表达式中使用sql语句:
sql> begin
2 if (select count(*) from dual) >= 1 then
3 null;
4 end if;
5 end;
6 /
if (select count(*) from dual) >= 1 then
*
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-06550: line 2,column 6:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "SELECT" when expecting one of the following:
...
...
相反,你必须这样做:
sql> set serveroutput on
sql>
sql> declare
2 v_count number;
3 begin
4 select count(*) into v_count from dual;
5
6 if v_count >= 1 then
7 dbms_output.put_line('Pass');
8 end if;
9 end;
10 /
Pass
PL/sql procedure successfully completed.
当然,您可能可以在sql中完成所有事情:
update my_table
set x = y
where (select count(*) from other_table) >= 1;
很难证明有些事情是不可能的。除了上述简单的测试用例,您可以查看syntax diagram的IF语句;您将不会在任何分支中看到SELECT语句。
