一 定义：

The Oracle PL/SQL GOTO statement is a sequential control structure available in Oracle. The GOTO statement immediately transfers program control (called "branching") unconditionally to a named statement label or block label. The statement or label name must be unique in the block.

属于plsql控制语句，用于程序控制非条件跳至指定标签<<???>>。不易控制和维护，慎用！

二 例子：

1、简单GOTO 语句，判断数字是否为质数：

? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 DECLARE   p VARCHAR2(30);   n PLS_INTEGER := 37; -- test any integer > 2 for prime BEGIN   FOR j IN 2 .. round(sqrt(n)) LOOP     IF n MOD j = 0 THEN       -- test for prime       p := ' is not a prime number'; -- not a prime number       GOTO print_now;     END IF;   END LOOP;   p := ' is a prime number';   <<print_now>>   dbms_output.put_line(to_char(n) || p); END; /

2、使用null避免报错：

? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 DECLARE   done BOOLEAN; BEGIN   FOR i IN 1 .. 50 LOOP     IF done THEN       GOTO end_loop;     END IF;     <<end_loop>> -- not allowed unless an executable statement follows     NULL; -- add NULL statement to avoid error   END LOOP; -- raises an error without the previous NULL END; /

3、使用goto分出一个环绕块：

? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 -- example with GOTO statement DECLARE   v_last_name VARCHAR2(25);   v_emp_id    NUMBER(6) := 120; BEGIN   <<get_name>>   SELECT last_name   INTO v_last_name   FROM employees   WHERE employee_id = v_emp_id;   BEGIN     dbms_output.put_line(v_last_name);     v_emp_id := v_emp_id + 5;     IF v_emp_id < 120 THEN       GOTO get_name; -- branch to enclosing block     END IF;   END; END; /
