Copy and execute the following anonymous block. Then modify it to declare and use a single record instead of a scalar variable for each column. Make sure that your code will still work if an extra column is added to the departments table later. Execute your modified block and save your code.
DECLARE
v_dept_id departments.department_id%TYPE;
v_dept_name departments.department_name%TYPE;
v_mgr_id departments.manager_id%TYPE;
v_loc_id departments.location_id%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT department_id, department_name, manager_id, location_id
INTO v_dept_id, v_dept_name, v_mgr_id, v_loc_id
FROM departments
WHERE department_id = 80;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_dept_id || ' ' || v_dept_name || ' ' || v_mgr_id || ' ' || v_loc_id);
EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('This department does not exist');
END;
