   [ 
ELSE 
statement [ statement ]... ] END IF ;

IF ( <condition> ) THEN
    <statement>;
    [ <statement>; ... ]
[

Sample Source Patterns

Sample auxiliar table

CREATE TABLE if_table(col1 varchar(30));

CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE PUBLIC.if_table (col1 varchar(30));

Possible IF variations

IN -> Oracle_01.sql

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ifExample1 ( flag NUMBER )
IS
BEGIN
    IF flag = 1 THEN
        INSERT INTO if_table(col1) VALUES ('one');
    END IF;
END;

CALL ifExample1(1);
SELECT * FROM if_table;

IN -> Oracle_02.sql

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ifExample2 ( flag NUMBER )
IS
BEGIN
    IF flag = 1 THEN
        INSERT INTO if_table(col1) VALUES ('one');
    ELSE
        INSERT INTO if_table(col1) VALUES ('Unexpected input.');
    END IF;
END;

CALL ifExample2(2);
SELECT * FROM if_table;

IN -> Oracle_03.sql

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ifExample3 ( flag NUMBER )
IS
BEGIN
    IF flag = 1 THEN
        INSERT INTO if_table(col1) VALUES ('one');
    ELSIF flag = 2 THEN
        INSERT INTO if_table(col1) VALUES ('two');
    ELSIF flag = 3 THEN
        INSERT INTO if_table(col1) VALUES ('three');
    END IF;
END;

CALL ifExample3(3);
SELECT * FROM if_table;

IN -> Oracle_04.sql

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ifExample4 ( flag NUMBER )
IS
BEGIN

    ELSE

    END IF;

CALL ifExample4(4);
SELECT * FROM if_table;
