    6-3: Cursor FOR Loops Practice
    Activities
    Vocabulary
    Identify the vocabulary word for each definition below:

    CURSORS FOR LOOP Automates standard cursor-handling operations such as OPEN,


    FETCH, %NOTFOUND, and CLOSE so that they do not need to
    be coded explicitly

    Try It / Solve It
    1. Describe two benefits of using a cursor FOR loop.
    -Hace que el código sea más corto y le da mejor presentación.
    2. Modify the following PL/SQL block so that it uses a cursor FOR loop. Keep the explicit cursor
    declaration in the DECLARE section. Test your changes.
    DECLARE
    CURSOR countries_cur IS
    SELECT country_name, national_holiday_name, national_holiday_date
    FROM countries
    WHERE region_id = 5;
    countries_rec countries_cur%ROWTYPE;
    BEGIN
    OPEN countries_cur;
    LOOP
    FETCH countries_cur INTO countries_rec; EXIT
    WHEN countries_cur%NOTFOUND;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Country: ' || countries_rec.country_name
    || ' National holiday: '|| countries_rec.national_holiday_name ||
    ', held on: '|| countries_rec.national_holiday_date);
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE countries_cur;
    END;

    DECLARE
    CURSOR countries_cur IS SELECT country_name, national_holiday_name,
    national_holiday_date
    FROM countries WHERE region_id = 5;
    BEGIN
    FOR v_countries IN countries_cur
    LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Country: ' || v_countries.country_name || '
    National holiday: '|| v_countries.national_holiday_name || ', held on: '||
    v_countries.national_holiday_date); END LOOP;
    END;
    3. Modify your answer to question 2 to declare the cursor using a subquery in the FOR…LOOP
    statement, rather than in the declaration section. Test your changes again.

    BEGIN
    FOR v_countries IN (SELECT country_name, national_holiday_name,
    national_holiday_date
    FROM countries WHERE region_id = 5)
    LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Country: ' || v_countries.country_name || '
    National holiday: '|| v_countries.national_holiday_name || ', held
    on: ' || v_countries.national_holiday_date); END LOOP;
    END;
    4. Using the COUNTRIES table, write a cursor that returns countries with a highest_elevation greater
    than 8,000 m. For each country, display the country_name, highest_elevation, and climate. Use a
    cursor FOR loop, declaring the cursor using a subquery in the FOR…LOOP statement.

    BEGIN
    FOR v_countries IN (SELECT country_name, highest_elevation, climate
    FROM countries
    WHERE highest_elevation > 8000)
    LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Country: ' || v_countries.country_name || '
    Highest
    Elevation: ' || v_countries.highest_elevation || ' ' || 'Climate: '
    || v_countries.climate); END LOOP; END;

    5. This question uses a join of the SPOKEN_LANGUAGES and COUNTRIES tables with a GROUP
    BY and HAVING clause.

    Write a PL/SQL block to fetch and display all the countries that have more than six spoken
    languages. For each such country, display country_name and the number of spoken languages.
    Use a cursor FOR loop, but declare the cursor explicitly in the DECLARE section. After all the rows
    have been fetched and displayed, display an extra row showing the total number of countries
    having more than six languages. (Hint: Declare a variable to hold the value of %ROWCOUNT.)

    DECLARE
    CURSOR idiomas_cur IS SELECT country_name, COUNT(*) AS cant
    FROM countries c , spoken_languages l
    WHERE c.country_id = l.country_id
    GROUP BY country_name
    HAVING COUNT(*) > 6; v_to_pais
    PLS_INTEGER;
    BEGIN
    FOR v_countries IN idiomas_cur
    LOOP
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (v_countries.country_name || ' habla ' ||
    v_countries.cant || ' idiomas');
    v_to_pais := idiomas_cur%ROWCOUNT;
    END LOOP;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Total: ' || v_to_pais);
    END;

    6. Why did your block in question 4 need to declare the cursor explicitly, instead of declaring it as a
    subquery in the FOR…LOOP statement?
    Por que es necesario un atributo %ROWCOUNT.
