I need to optimize a module(Oracle Forms 6i), then I found so many statement that goes like this:

DECLARE
   v_param   VARCHAR2 (10);
BEGIN
   FOR rec IN (SELECT col_name
                 FROM table_name)
   LOOP
      v_param := rec.col_name;
      EXIT;
   END LOOP;
END;

I was planning on changing/ simplifying it to something like this:

DECLARE
   v_param   VARCHAR2 (10);
BEGIN
   SELECT col_name
     INTO v_param
     FROM table_name;
END;


Is there any difference? Or I'll just leave it as is? Thanks!

Yes, it is much better.

Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code, use code tags and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.
Also always post your Oracle version, with 4 decimals.

Regards
Michel

Thanks Sir Michel Cadot. I format my code, I just forgot to put [code] in it. I've read the guide on posting and make sure to follow it next time.

By the way, will it run much faster? I can't see the execution plan of both statement that's why I ask it here. Very Happy
Thanks again!

The difference in the performances will not be noticeable but the maintenance of the code will.
It is clear you want to have and fetch only one value in the second code when one could ask why there is an EXIT in the LOOP in the first one.
