How many records updated

Question

How can I find out how many records have been updated by an update statement and how many remain to be updated, while the statement is still in progress?

Answer 1

For updated ( inserted or deleted ) rows :*SQL%ROWCOUNT*
DECLARE
         v_rows_processed integer := 0;
        BEGIN
            UPDATE sample
               SET testno = 1;
             WHERE test   = 'PL/SQL';
            v_rows_processed := SQL%ROWCOUNT;
            dbms_output.enable;
            dbms_output.put_line('There were '||v_rows_processed||' rows updated');
            IF v_rows_processed := 0
            THEN
                /* Insert Statement */
            END IF;
         END sample;.Edited by: Salim Chelabi on 2009-01-09 09:25
