    ORA-06550: error causes are:  You tried to execute an invalid block of PLSQL code (like a stored procedure or function), but a compilation error occurred. in your example, you selected a value inside the variable (v_last) that is not declared in your block.

    ORA-06550: error causes are:  You tried to execute an invalid block of PLSQL code (like a stored procedure or function), but a compilation error occurred.

    in your example, you selected a value inside the variable (v_last) that is not declared in your block.

    So to correct your block of code, you can rewrite it like this:

    DECLARE
    
V_LAST EMPLOYEES.LAST_NAME%TYPE;

    BEGIN

    SELECT LAST_NAME INTO V_LAST FROM EMPLOYEES;

dbms_output.put_line(‘v_last is :’ || V_LAST );

    END;

    hello albert,
    as mr. sandeeptiwari mentioned on your question as comment you can use merge statement and here i will share with you sample example for merge and not exists with regular insert statement
    first we need to create dummy table to test our code on it :

    CREATE TABLE testtab
(
 id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY
 ,last_name VARCHAR2 (200)
);

    now we will using not exists clause with regular insert statement but with select like this :

    INSERT INTO testtab
  SELECT 1, 'albert'
  FROM   dual
  WHERE  NOT EXISTS
           (SELECT NULL
            FROM   testtab
            WHERE  last_name = 'albert');

    now the result would be :
    1 row created.
    then trying to execute same statement again and check the result :
    0 rows created.
    that because the row is already exists before

    now we will trying to do the same but in this time we will using merge statement :

    MERGE INTO testtab a
USING      (SELECT 2 id, 'jonny' last_name FROM dual) b
ON         (a.last_name = b.last_name)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
  INSERT     (id, last_name)
  VALUES     (b.id, b.last_name);

    now the result would be :
    1 row merged.
    then trying to execute same statement again and check the result :
    0 row merged.

    hope this help 🙂

If the DML fails after fetching 1 row, due to any reason, SQL%ROWCOUNT will return only 1, the number of rows fetched/processed so far basically you can use : BEGIN  UPDATE xx_test_tab  SET    test_col = 777777  WHRead more

    hello Beter, you can't use SQL Statement directly in a PL/SQL expression instead you can use variable to store your count then use your variable into PL/SQL expression like this : DECLARE  v_count   NUMBER;BEGIN  SELECT count (*) INTO v_count FROM dual;  IF v_count >= 1 THEN    dbms_output.put_liRead more

    hello Beter,
    you can’t use SQL Statement directly in a PL/SQL expression instead you can use variable to store your count then use your variable into PL/SQL expression like this :

    DECLARE
      v_count   NUMBER;
    BEGIN
      SELECT count (*) INTO v_count FROM dual;

      IF v_count >= 1 THEN
        dbms_output.put_line ('true');
      ELSE
        dbms_output.put_line ('false');
      END IF;
    END;

    or as you mentioned if you want to use it inside delete statement like this :

    DELETE FROM table_1
    WHERE       (SELECT count (*) FROM table_2) >= 1;
