you could simply write
insert into table_a values (1);
if found then
dbms.output.put_line('rows inserted');
else
dbms.output.put_line('rows not inserted');
end if;
If you really need the number of records inserted (found will be true if at
least one record as affected), you can get that with
GET DIAGNOSTICS num_rows = ROW_COUNT;
and then do the if on the variable num_rows.
Hope that helps
