PL/SQL Oracle's Database Programming Language

Remember: Set serveroutput on With serveroutput off (default) executing procedure: With serveroutput on: Was it successful or not?!?!?! SQL> Execute Record_Sale( 'Dick Cheney', 'Cezanne', 'kindergarten', '8', 3550, :vReturn); PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. SQL> Execute Record_Sale( 'Dick Cheney', 'Cezanne', 'kindergarten', '8', 3550, :vReturn); Entered stored procedure Looking up CustomerID Looking up ArtistID Finding Work record Finding Transaction record Testing to see if a Transaction record was found No valid Transaction record exists. Transaction not completed. PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

What did that procedure do? SQL> SELECT TEXT FROM USER_SOURCE WHERE NAME = 'SP_HOURMIN'; TEXT procedure sp_hourMin (i_date_dt DATE, o_hour_nr OUT NUMBER, o_minute_nr OUT NUMBER) is begin o_hour_nr := to_NUMBER(to_char(i_date_dt, 'hh24')); o_minute_nr := to_NUMBER(to_char(i_date_dt, 'mi')); end; 6 rows selected.

What was the name of that routine? SQL> column object_type format A12; SQL> column object_name format A12; SQL> select object_type, object_name, status 2 from user_objects 3 where object_type in ('FUNCTION', 'PROCEDURE'); OBJECT_TYPE OBJECT_NAME STATUS FUNCTION DECLARE INVALID FUNCTION FINDAREA INVALID FUNCTION F_AREA_NR VALID PROCEDURE SP_HELLO VALID PROCEDURE SP_HOURMIN VALID
