id="refsqlcn">References to SQL condition names

The name of an SQL condition can be the same as the name of another SQL condition declared in the same routine. This can occur when the two SQL conditions are declared in different compound-statements. The compound-statement that contains the declaration of an SQL condition name determines the scope of that condition name. A condition name must be unique within the compound statement in which it is declared, excluding any declarations in compound statements that are nested within that compound statement. A condition name can only be referenced within the compound statement in which it is declared, including any compound statements that are nested within that compound statement. When there is a reference to a condition name, the condition that is declared in the innermost compound statement is the condition that is used. See compound-statement, for more information.
