Oracle ELSIF Statement: Conditional Branching in PL/SQL

In Oracle, the keyword `elsif` is used instead of `elseif` for conditional branching within PL/SQL blocks or procedures. \n\nThe syntax for `elsif` in Oracle is as follows:\n\nsql\nIF condition1 THEN\n -- statements if condition1 is true\nELSIF condition2 THEN\n -- statements if condition2 is true\nELSIF condition3 THEN\n -- statements if condition3 is true\n...\nELSE\n -- statements if none of the conditions are true\nEND IF;\n\n\nHere, each `elsif` block is optional, and you can have multiple `elsif` blocks after the initial `if` statement. The `else` block is also optional and executes if none of the conditions are true.\n\nHere's an example of how you can use `elsif` in a PL/SQL block:\n\nsql\nDECLARE\n grade NUMBER := 85;\nBEGIN\n IF grade >= 90 THEN\n DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Grade is A');\n ELSIF grade >= 80 THEN\n DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Grade is B');\n ELSIF grade >= 70 THEN\n DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Grade is C');\n ELSE\n DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Grade is D');\n END IF;\nEND;\n/\n\n\nIn this example, based on the value of the `grade` variable, the appropriate message will be displayed using `DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE`.
