Let us try a com<strong>pl</strong>ete exam<strong>pl</strong>e that would illustrate the concept:<br />
DECLARE<br />
a number(3) := 100;<br />
BEGIN<br />
-- check the boolean condition using if statement<br />
IF( a < 20 ) THEN<br />
-- if condition is true then print the following<br />
dbms_output.put_line('a is less than 20 ' );<br />
ELSE<br />
dbms_output.put_line('a is not less than 20 ' );<br />
END IF;<br />
dbms_output.put_line('value of a is : ' || a);<br />
END;<br />
/<br />
When the above code is executed at SQL prompt, it produces the following result:<br />
a is not less than 20<br />
value of a is : 100<br />
