Oracle Database Interview Question:

How To Define an Anonymous Procedure with Variables?

Submitted by: Administrator

Anonymous procedure is a procedure without any name. If you have some variables to declare, you can define an anonymous procedure by using the DECLARE keyword in SQL*Plus as shown in the following tutorial script:

SQL> set serveroutput on;

SQL> declare
2 site char(80) := 'globalguideline';
3 begin
4 dbms_output.put_line('Welcome to ' || site);
5 end;
6 /
Welcome to globalguideline

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> /
Welcome to globalguideline

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

"/" runs the anonymous block, which print the "Welcome to globalguideline" message.
