RESIGNAL Statement - HPL/SQL Reference

RESIGNAL statement is used in a condition or exception handler to re-raise an error so it can be processed at a higher level.

Syntax:

RESIGNAL
|
RESIGNAL SQLSTATE [VALUE] sqlstate [SET MESSAGE_TEXT = message_text]

Example 1:

Re-raise the same error:

BEGIN
  DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION
  BEGIN
    PRINT 'Error raised';
    RESIGNAL;
  END;
  PRINT 'Before executing SQL';
  SELECT * FROM abc.abc;      -- Table does not exist, error will be raised
  PRINT 'After executing SQL - will not be printed in case of error';
END;

Result:

Before executing SQL
Error raised

Example 2:

Catch the re-raised condition in the outer condition handler:

BEGIN
  DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION
    PRINT 'Error raised, outer handler';
 
  BEGIN
    DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION
    BEGIN
      PRINT 'Error raised, resignal';
      RESIGNAL;
    END;
    PRINT 'Before executing SQL';
    SELECT * FROM abc.abc;       -- Table does not exist, error will be raised
    PRINT 'After executing SQL - must not be printed';
  END;
  PRINT 'Continue outer block after exiting inner';
END;

Result:

Before executing SQL
Error raised, resignal
Error raised, outer handler
Continue outer block after exiting inner

Example 3:

Re-raise a condition with the specified SQLSTATE and message text:

BEGIN
  DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION
  BEGIN
    GET DIAGNOSTICS EXCEPTION 1 text = MESSAGE_TEXT;
    PRINT 'SQLSTATE: ' || SQLSTATE;
    PRINT 'Text: ' || text;
  END; 
 
  BEGIN
    DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION
      RESIGNAL SQLSTATE '02031' SET MESSAGE_TEXT = 'Some error';
 
    SELECT * FROM abc.abc;    -- Table does not exist, raise an exception
  END;
END;

Result:

SQLSTATE: 02031
Text: Some error
