Oracle Stored Procedures - Further reading

(Page 10 of 10 )

You can read more about Oracle stored procedures in the Oracle documentation. The following topics are covered:

• Parameters: Our basic procedure accepts no parameters. You can declare input parameters to accept data, and output parameters to return data to the calling environment.
  
  
• Variables: Again, our basic procedure contains no variable declarations, but you can declare any PL/SQL variable in a procedure, including characters, numbers, dates and Booleans.
  
  
• Extracting data: You can use the SQL statement SELECT to extract data from an Oracle database and populate variables in your procedure.
  
  
• Extracting lots of data: You can process batches of records in a procedure using cursors.
  
  
• Transaction control: Manipulate data from within a procedure. Issue SQL statements INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE, and decide if you want to commit the changes, or if they should be rolled back.
