    Oracle Stored Procedures
    (Page 1 of 10 )

    So what's this business with Oracle allowing programmers to put programs in databases? That's right. They're called Oracle stored procedures, and they're quite useful. Mooh the Cow walks you through writing, creating, debugging, and deleting a procedure.

    What you will learn

    An Oracle stored procedure is a program stored in an Oracle database.

    Now this is unusual – we expect data in a database, but not programs! However, you will soon see how useful this can be.

    We often refer to an Oracle stored procedure as a procedure. You will learn to:

    • write a procedure in Oracle's PL/SQL programming language using the Notepad text editor.

    • create a procedure on an Oracle database, a process which will automatically compile and save the procedure.

    • run a procedure stored on an Oracle database from the SQL*Plus tool supplied by Oracle.

    • change a procedure by re-creating it on the Oracle database.

    • debug a procedure by introducing, viewing and fixing a compilation error.

    • drop a procedure, a process which will permanently remove a procedure from an Oracle database.

    Next, you'll find out what you need to know before you start.
