Changing Data

It is beyond the scope of this book to provide complete reference information about the features of DML statements in the Oracle SQL language. Instead, I provide a quick overview of the basic syntax , and then explore special features relating to DML inside PL/SQL, including:

  • Examples of each DML statement

  • Cursor attributes for DML statements

  • Special PL/SQL features for DML statements, such as the RETURNING clause

For detailed information, I encourage you to peruse Oracle documentation or a SQL-specific text.

There are three DML statements available in the SQL language:

INSERT

Inserts one or more new rows into a table

UPDATE

Updates the values of one or more columns in an existing row in a table

DELETE

Removes one or more rows from a table
