On page 42 in Figure 2-10 (Flow chart for the employee_updates procedure) you have an infinite loop. Once the logic is past the 'Record Found' check - there is no way to exit the program. I believe that the second "Fetch Cursor" action/process should go back to the "Record Found" decision check.

Absolutely correct! I will add your correction to the Errata section on the Apress website with credit to you. I've attached a corrected version of the diagram.
