Dear gurus !
I'm wondering whtether i can catch an SQL error (from inside a PL/SQL proc)
without jumping to the EXCEPTION block
OR
is there a way to jump back to the body of the proc from the EXCEPTION block
(i know that GOTO can not do it).

For example , assume i have users with IDs 1,2,5,6 in my table and i want to
do some loop like this

i := 1;
while i < 10 loop
  select the_name from the_table into myvar where the_id = 1;
end loop;
.....

I will be thrown to the EXCEPTION block as soon as i becomes 3.
And i can never go back to the loop from the EXCEPTION block , in order to
continue looping  ;-(
So , can i just tell PL/SQL something like "never mind if U fail (i.e. an
exception is thrown) , just go to the next iteration ...

I'm wondering if there is something similar to PERL's 
 next if .....

Thanks a lot
Andre
