Is this an error or an expected behavior?

Question

declare
w_teste varchar2(2000);
begin
select 'teste' into w_teste from all_objects where rownum <=2;
exception when too_many_rows then
dbms_output.put_line('too_many_rows: '||w_teste);
end;
if the select statement fails shouldn't the variable w_teste be null?
thanks
Miguel

Answer 1

If the select statement does not return any value, you will get NO_DATA_FOUND exception.
why don't you test it?
declare
a varchar2(10);
begin
select 'HI' into a from dual where rownum=0;
exception
when no_data_found then
dbms_output.put_line('Exception occurred');
end;
Exception occurred
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.03And the former one you posted, you can test it ;)
