Sample Source Patterns

Sample auxiliar table

Oracle

CREATE TABLE if_table(col1 varchar(30));

Snowflake

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

Possible IF variations

Oracle

Code 1

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;

Code 2

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;

Code 3

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;

Code 4

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ifExample4 ( 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');
   ELSE
      INSERT INTO if_table(col1) VALUES ('Unexpected input.');  
   END IF;
END;

CALL ifExample4(4);
SELECT * FROM if_table;

Result 1

|COL1|
|----|
|one |

Result 2

|COL1             |
|-----------------|
|Unexpected input.|

Result 3

|COL1 |
|-----|
|three|

Result 4

|COL1             |
|-----------------|
|Unexpected input.|
