I am using oracle 10g express edition. It has a nice ui for db developers. But i am facing some problems executing stored procedures.
Procedure:
create or replace procedure temp_proc is
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Test');
end
it is created successfully. But when i execute:
execute temp_proc;
it shows ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
So help needed here
I use oracle 12 and it tell me that if you need to invoke the procedure then use call keyword. In your case it should be:
begin
call temp_proc;
end;
Have you tried to correct the syntax like this?:
create or replace procedure temp_proc AS
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Test');
end;
Both 'is' and 'as' are valid syntax. Output is disabled by default. Try a procedure that also enables output...
create or replace procedure temp_proc is
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE(1000000);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Test');
end;
...and call it in a PLSQL block...
begin
temp_proc;
end;
...as SQL is non-procedural.
Oracle 10g Express Edition ships with Oracle Application Express (Apex) built-in. You're running this in its SQL Commands window, which doesn't support SQL*Plus syntax.
That doesn't matter, because (as you have discovered) the BEGIN...END syntax does work in Apex.
