Simple Loop

LOOP
   executable_statement(s)
END LOOP;

The simplest of the loop constructs. This type of loop consists simply of the LOOP and END LOOP statements, enclosing at least one executable statement. You typically use the simple loop when you want to ensure that the body of the loop executes at least once. The simple loop will terminate only when an EXIT or EXIT WHEN statement is executed (or when an exception is raised and goes unhandled) in its body. If that does not occur, the loop will execute indefinitely.
