PL/SQL CURSORS
In order to perform the following exercises you will need to create a table with columns as shown below: EMPLOYEE: Empid Empname Empgrade Empsalary num er varchar !"#$ number number

Your tas% is to create a procedure which& when evo%ed& will increase the salary for an employee by '"## or '(### depending on his or her grade !the higher the grade& the higher the employee)s ran%ing within the company$* You will need to populate the table first with a minimum of (# entries& the empgrade value of which should be between ( and "* + script file Create!Emp"s#$ is provided on ,lac%board for this purpose* -he code overleaf will provide a s%eleton for the procedure& but you will need to fill in the missing bits indicated by o$d letters* You are recommended to use .otepad to do the editing& and you will need to give your file the extension "s#$& e.g* calling it sa$ar%!in&rease"s#$* Once you have done this& you should attempt to compile the code by means of the ' command !using the full path/name of the file$ in 01L2Plus* If Oracle tells you that the procedure has been compiled with errors& entering the command s(o) errors will list the problems with the code* Once the procedure has compiled successfully& you can run it by typing e*e&ute sa$ar%!in&rease at the 01L3 prompt* .O-E0: 4emember that you need to have a variable to store each component of the return from the cursor* 5here an I6 statement is used& remember to E.7 I68 -he salaries for the grades are listed overleaf:
