Hi all. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to use CONTINUE clause outside the loop ?
An example :
 
FOR a IN SELECT * FROM xxx
LOOP
 
INSERT INTO yyy VALUES (a.***, ..)
 
END LOOP;
 
EXCEPTION WHEN unique_violation THEN CONTINUE;
 
I get an error saying I can't use CONTINUE outside of a loop. Is there a way around this ?
 
regards
mk
