Preamble
In Oracle, the LOOP statement is used when you are not sure how many times you want to execute a loop body or execute a loop body at least once.
LOOP statement Syntax
LOOP
{...}
END LOOP;
Statement parameters and arguments
- The code is executed every time you go through a cycle.
You use a LOOP when you are not sure how many times you want to execute the body of the loop.
You can interrupt a LOOP loop with any EXIT operator, or when it encounters EXIT WHEN which takes TRUE.
An example is:
LOOP
monthly_value := daily_value * 31;
EXIT WHEN monthly_value > 4000;
END LOOP;
In this example, the LOOP will stop when monthly_value exceeds 4000.
