You new invoke the insert_location procedure using the following command:
EXECUTE insert_location (19, ‘San Francisco’)

What is the result in thisEXECUTE command?

A.
The locations, departments, and employees tables are empty.

B.
The departments table has one row.
The locations and the employees tables are empty.

C.
The location table has one row.
The departments and the employees tables are empty.

D.
The locations table and the departments table both have one row.
The employees table is empty.

Explanation:
All of the tables are empty. When the following statement executed:
SELECT department_id
INTO v_dept_id
FROM employees
WHERE employee_id = 9999;
An error is thrown and there is no exception section in this procedure or the calling procedure,
therefore all transactions are rolled back.
Note: If the exception is not handled in the called procedure, the control is transferred to the
exception-handling section of the calling procedure. If the exception is handled, all the statements remain intact. If the
exception is not handled in the calling procedure’s exception-handling section, all the statements
are rolled back, and the exception propagates to the calling environment.

SELECT INTO statement will throw an error then control looks for EXCEPTION SECTION but there is no one to handle the exception then control returns to calling environment, again looks for EXCEPTION SECTION unfortunatelly there is no one So procedure will end up without commit.

Finally no changes made into database.

Answer is A.
