hvordan tildele værdi til variabel i udtryk for en PL/SQL blok?

Ud over at bruge xor-tricket i PL/SQL, kan du blot bruge en SQL-sætning

DECLARE
  a number := 17;
  b number := 42;
BEGIN
  SELECT a, b
    INTO b, a
    FROM dual;
  dbms_output.put_line( 'a = ' || a );
  dbms_output.put_line( 'b = ' || b );
END;

som bytter de to variable uden at bruge en temp variabel

  1  DECLARE
  2    a number := 17;
  3    b number := 42;
  4  BEGIN
  5    SELECT a, b
  6      INTO b, a
  7      FROM dual;
  8    dbms_output.put_line( 'a = ' || a );
  9    dbms_output.put_line( 'b = ' || b );
 10* END;
SQL> /
a = 42
b = 17
