BEGIN and END Statements
BEGIN and END statements group statements in procedures with more than one SQL statement.
Declarations can be made only within a BEGIN ... END block.
You can define a label for the block to clarify your code.
The labels must match exactly.
<source lang="sql">
yourLableName: BEGIN <SQL statement>; <SQL statement>; END yourLableName</source>
