I have a PL/SQL function (running on Oracle 10g) in which I update some rows. Is there a way to find out how many rows were affected by the UPDATE? When executing the query manually it tells me how many rows were affected, I want to get that number in PL/SQL.

You use the sql%rowcount variable.
You need to call it straight after the statement which you need to find the affected row count for.
For example:
set serveroutput ON;
DECLARE
i NUMBER;
BEGIN
UPDATE employees
SET status = 'fired'
WHERE name LIKE '%Bloggs';
i := SQL%rowcount;
--note that assignment has to precede COMMIT
COMMIT;
dbms_output.Put_line(i);
END;
Please try this one..
create table client (
val_cli integer
,status varchar2(10)
);
---------------------
begin
insert into client
select 1, 'void' from dual
union all
select 4, 'void' from dual
union all
select 1, 'void' from dual
union all
select 6, 'void' from dual
union all
select 10, 'void' from dual;
end;
---------------------
select * from client;
---------------------
declare
counter integer := 0;
begin
for val in 1..10
loop
update client set status = 'updated' where val_cli = val;
if sql%rowcount = 0 then
dbms_output.put_line('no client with '||val||' val_cli.');
else
dbms_output.put_line(sql%rowcount||' client updated for '||val);
counter := counter + sql%rowcount;
end if;
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line('Number of total lines affected update operation: '||counter);
end;
---------------------
select * from client;
--------------------------------------------------------
Result will be like below:
2 client updated for 1
no client with 2 val_cli.
no client with 3 val_cli.
1 client updated for 4
no client with 5 val_cli.
1 client updated for 6
no client with 7 val_cli.
no client with 8 val_cli.
no client with 9 val_cli.
1 client updated for 10
Number of total lines affected update operation: 5
