I am having sample Procedure as Below
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_Table1
BEGIN
SELECT 'Sample UserName' AS UserName
FROM Dual;
END;
Now I want to run this Proc in PLSQL developer.I tried the below but its generating error
begin
proc_Table1;
end;
Its Displaying
Thanks for the Help.
Any Idea why this Happens.
When you created the procedure, you should have been alerted to the fact that you had syntax errors. If you're going to run a SELECT statement, you need to do something with the results-- either populate a local variable or open a cursor or something else. The code you've posted is also missing the IS/AS keyword
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_Table1
AS
l_username VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
SELECT 'Sample UserName' AS UserName
INTO l_username
FROM Dual;
END;
will be syntactically valid. It doesn't appear, however, to be particularly useful-- you procedure isn't modifying the database and has no way to communicate with the caller so it isn't doing anything meaningful. As a general principal, you would also generally want to use a simple PL/SQL assignment operator to populate a local variable rather than selecting from dual, i.e.
l_username := 'Sample UserName';
Try this, it should work:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_Table1(UserName OUT VARCHAR2)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT 'Sample UserName' INTO UserName
FROM Dual;
dbms_output.put_line(UserName);
END PROC_TABLE1;
-------------------------------
How to Execute
-------------------------------
declare
name varchar2(50);
result varchar2(100);
begin
proc_table1(name);
end;
