Oracle Exception Handling Guide

In Oracle, exception handling code is typically written using the PL/SQL language. Here is an example:

DECLARE
  v_num1 NUMBER := 10;
  v_num2 NUMBER := 0;
  v_result NUMBER;

BEGIN
  v_result := v_num1 / v_num2;
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Result: ' || v_result);

EXCEPTION
  WHEN ZERO_DIVIDE THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Error: Division by zero');
END;

In the example above, a divide by zero exception will occur when v_num2 is 0, and the exception handling code will catch the exception and output an error message. Depending on specific needs, different exception handling code can be written to handle different exception cases.
