Is the "when others" exception trying to capture errors like "table does
not exist" or is it only for a "%notfound" condition in case there is no
row in the table for "id =3D jid ;" ?=20

I have the following pl/sql function code that gets called a lot in our
application.

...

    select title, volume, pages, year, journalid
    into ttl, vol, pg, yr, jid from ref where id=3Drn;
    begin
      select abbrev into jname from journal2abbrev
      where id=3Djid and medline=3D'Y';
    exception
      when others then select name into jname from journal where =
id=3Djid;
    end;

...
