why if block not working within a procedure while comparing two columns of two tables - oracle

Question

I need to check whether std_id is present same as in students table if this matches with std_id in std_grace_marks then I need to add that grace_marks of that std_id with marks column in students table.
I have created a procedure and created two cursors to fetch records in loop and I wrote if condition to check whether std_id matches if it is then I am adding marks with grace_marks but if condition is not working here... so please can anyone tell where I am going wrong
My code:
create or replace procedure std_info
IS
CURSOR stdcur IS SELECT std_id,std_name, marks,mark_status FROM students;
CURSOR gracer IS SELECT std_id,grace_marks from student_grace_marks;
myvar stdcur%ROWTYPE;
mycur gracer%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN stdcur;
OPEN gracer;
LOOP
FETCH stdcur INTO myvar;
FETCH gracer INTO mycur;
EXIT WHEN stdcur%NOTFOUND;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( myvar.std_id || ' '|| myvar.std_name||' '||myvar.marks );
if(myvar.std_id=mycur.std_id) then
update students set marks=myvar.marks+mycur.grace_marks;
end if;
END LOOP;
CLOSE stdcur;
CLOSE gracer;
END;

I'm not sure this will ever work. You're fetching a row of each resultset in a row variable, assuming that row 1 for the first resultset will match the std_id of row 1 for the 2nd resultset. There are 2 things wrong with this assumption
There is no ORDER BY clause in the statements, so std_id for the firs row of cursor stdcur could be 10 while std_id for the first row of cursor gracer could be 99. Oracle does not guarantee the order of the a resultset unless an ORDER BY clause is included in the statement.
If table student_grace_marks has more than 1 row, or no rows for a std_id, it will start failing from that row onwards since the count will no longer match.
One solution is to use explicit cursor for loops:
DECLARE
BEGIN
FOR r_student IN (SELECT * FROM students) LOOP
FOR r_student_gm IN (SELECT * FROM student_grace_marks WHERE std_id = r_student.std_id) LOOP
UPDATE students SET marks = marks + r_student_gm.grace_marks WHERE std_id = r_student.std_id;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
END;
/
.. or .. if you want to use explicit cursors:
In this case the CURSOR gracer will have a where clause to only select the relevant row(s) for that particular student.
Note that I fixed some errors as well
DECLARE
--declare variable to be used in the where clause of the select for cursor gracer.
l_std_id students.std_id%TYPE;
CURSOR stdcur IS SELECT std_id,std_name, marks FROM students;
CURSOR gracer IS SELECT std_id,grace_marks from student_grace_marks WHERE std_id = l_std_id;
myvar stdcur%ROWTYPE;
mycur gracer%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN stdcur;
LOOP
FETCH stdcur INTO myvar;
EXIT WHEN stdcur%NOTFOUND;
l_std_id := myvar.std_id;
OPEN gracer;
LOOP
FETCH gracer INTO mycur;
EXIT WHEN gracer%NOTFOUND;
-- use marks, not myvar.marks. If there is >1 record in student_grace_marks it will only add the last value.
-- add the where clause or every update will update all rows and every grace_marks will be added for every student in the table.
UPDATE students set marks= marks+mycur.grace_marks WHERE std_id = l_std_id;
END LOOP;
CLOSE gracer;
END LOOP;
CLOSE stdcur;
END;
