Stored procedure and coldfusion.

Question

Hi all,
My query is related with Oracle and coldfusion. I have got to write a stored procedure for updating a table. In this I have to raise an exception if the field i give for does not exist. Can anyone give an example code for this? I also want to know how it is called in a cfm page.
Following is the stored procedure i have written
create or replace package group_pack
as
procedure group_update
pt_group_id in group.group_id%type,
pt_group_name in group.group_name%type
end;
create or replace package body group_pack
as
procedure group_update
pt_group_id in group.group_id%type,
pt_group_name in group.group_name%type
as
begin
update group
set group_id = pt_group_id,
group_name = pt_group_name
where group_id = pt_group_id;
exception
when no_data_found then (what to code)
end;
end;
In this in the (what to code) part i tried returning zero...but then procedures do not return values. Then I tried to RAISE exception, which also showed error.
Also in the cfm page what should be done with the <cfstoredproc> </cfstoredproc>tags. How should it be reflected.....
Please do give a solution to my problem.....
Thanking in advance....

Aswathy.

Hi Aswathy,
Can you please tell, what error it gave when you had written RAISE command? I think, this is a better choice if you do not want to do anything else like inserting a row with the missing value.
