A procedure may also be created in a PL/SQL package - this is called a Package Procedure. A procedure created in a PL/SQL anonymous block is called a nested procedure. The standalone or package procedures, stored in the database, are referred to as "stored procedures". Procedures can have three types of parameters: IN, OUT and IN OUT.
SQL Developer Data Modeler operates with and models metadata. [7] Prior to SQL Developer version 3, it constituted a separate (but integrated) free [8] counterpart of SQL Developer. As of SQL Developer version 3 modeling became an integrated part of the overall tool. "Data Modeler" can produce (among other outputs) .dmd files. [9] Data Miner [10]
Common examples of DDL statements include CREATE, ALTER, and DROP. If you see a .ddl file, that means the file contains a statement to create a table. Oracle SQL Developer contains the ability to export from an ERD generated with Data Modeler to either a .sql file or a .ddl file.
PL/SQL Developer functionality can be extended with plugins. Documentation and plugin development examples are distributed with the application. On the application website, plugins developed by Allround Automations and third-party users are available for download.
Stored procedure languages from different vendors have different levels of sophistication. Tool support for writing and debugging stored procedures is often not as good as for other programming languages, but this differs between vendors and languages. For example, both PL/SQL and T-SQL have dedicated IDEs and debuggers.
In the above example, the application might supply the values "bike" for the first parameter and "10900" for the second parameter, and then later the values "shoes" and "7400". The alternative to a prepared statement is calling SQL directly from the application source code in a way that combines code and data.
An example of implementation of triggers in non-relational database can be Sedna, that provides support for triggers based on XQuery. Triggers in Sedna were designed to be analogous to SQL:2003 triggers, but natively base on XML query and update languages ( XPath , XQuery and XML update language).
An ODBC driver can be thought of as analogous to a printer driver or other driver, providing a standard set of functions for the application to use, and implementing DBMS-specific functionality. An application that can use ODBC is referred to as "ODBC-compliant". Any ODBC-compliant application can access any DBMS for which a driver is installed.
