Correct 3. Which part of a package must be created first, the specification or the body?
Mark for Review (1) Points
The body
The specification (*)
The specification and body must be created at the same time. It
does not matter which is created first.

Correct 10. You want to create a function which drops a table. You write the following
code:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION droptab (p_tab_name IN VARCHAR2) RETURN BOOLEAN IS BEGIN
DROP TABLE p_tab_name; RETURN TRUE;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN RETURN FALSE;
END;
Why will this procedure not compile successfully?
Mark for Review (1) Points
Because you can never drop a table from inside a function
Because the PL/SQL compiler cannot check if the argument of p_tab_name is a valid table-name (*)
Because you do not have the privilege needed to drop a table
Because you cannot use RETURN in the exception section
Correct Section 9 11. A SQL statement can pass through several stages. Which of the
following is NOT one of these stages? Mark for Review(1) Points
BIND
FETCH
PARSE
RETURN (*)
EXECUTE
Correct 12. Examine the following code:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE myproc IS CURSOR c_curs IS SELECT view_name FROM user_views;
BEGIN FOR v_curs_rec IN c_curs LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP VIEW ' || v_curs_rec.view_name; END LOOP;
END;
What will happen when this procedure is invoked?
Mark for Review (1) Points
All views in the user's schema will be dropped. (*)
The procedure will not compile successfully because the syntax of EXECUTE IMMEDIATE is incorrect.
The procedure will raise an exception because Dynamic SQL can drop tables but cannot drop views.
The procedure will raise an exception because one of the views is a complex view.
Correct
13. We need to declare a package variable named MYVAR, which can be referenced by any subprogram in the package but can NOT be referenced from outside the package. In the following code, where should MYVAR be declared?
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE varpack IS -- Point A

Mark for Review (1) Points
The procedure can be invoked by:
BEGIN taxpack.taxproc;
END;
The packaage will not compile because you cannot declare a cursor in the specification.
(*)
TAXPROC is a public procedure and TAXFUNC is a private function
TAXPROC can invoke TAXFUNC if TAXPROC is coded before TAXFUNC
TAXPROC can open the cursor
Correct 15. A package contains both public and private subprograms. Which one of the
following statements is true? Mark for Review (1) Points
Each subprogram is loaded into memory when it is first invoked.

following statement is executed?
DROP PACKAGE oldpack;
Mark for Review (1) Points
The body will be dropped but the specification will be retained.
The specification will be dropped but the body will be retained. Both
the specification and the body will be dropped. (*)
The statement will fail because you must drop the body before you can drop the specification.
