JUnit 5 CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE procPrintHelloWorld
IS
Maven
BEGIN
Misc
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Hello World!');

END;
/

Run it

exec procPrintHelloWorld;

Output

Hello World!

2. Hello World + IN Parameter

A stored procedure to accept a single parameter and print out the “Hello World IN parameter” + parameter value
via DBMS_OUTPUT.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE procOneINParameter(param1 IN VARCHAR2)

IS
BEGIN

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Hello World IN parameter ' || param1);

END;
/

Run it

exec procOneINParameter('mkyong');

Output

Hello World IN parameter mkyong

3. Hello World + OUT Parameter
A stored procedure to output/assign the “Hello World OUT parameter” value to OUT parameter.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE procOneOUTParameter(outParam1 OUT VARCHAR2)

IS
BEGIN

outParam1 := 'Hello World OUT parameter';

END;
/

Run it

DECLARE
outParam1 VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
procOneOUTParameter(outParam1);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(outParam1);
END;
/

Output

Hello World OUT parameter

4. Hello World + INOUT Parameter

A stored procedure to accept a INOUT parameter (genericParam), construct the output message and assign back
to the same parameter name(genericParam) again.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE procOneINOUTParameter(genericParam IN OUT VARCHAR2)

IS
BEGIN

genericParam := 'Hello World INOUT parameter ' || genericParam;

END;
/

Run it

DECLARE
genericParam VARCHAR2(100) := 'mkyong';
BEGIN
procOneINOUTParameter(genericParam);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(genericParam);
END;
/

Output

Hello World INOUT parameter mkyong

5. Hello World + Cursor

A stored procedure, return a ref cursor and accept a IN parameter.
 CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE procCursorExample(
cursorParam OUT SYS_REFCURSOR, userNameParam IN VARCHAR2)
IS
BEGIN

OPEN cursorParam FOR

SELECT * FROM DBUSER WHERE USERNAME = userNameParam;

END;
/

Run it

DECLARE
dbUserCursor SYS_REFCURSOR;
dbUserTable DBUSER%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN

procCursorExample(dbUserCursor,'mkyong');

LOOP

FETCH dbUserCursor INTO dbUserTable;

EXIT WHEN dbUserCursor%NOTFOUND;

dbms_output.put_line(dbUserTable.user_id);

END LOOP;

CLOSE dbUserCursor;

END;
/

Output

List of the user_id which matched username='mkyong'

procedure successfully completed” not displaying the message given inside.

You should execute ‘set serveroutput on’ command so that DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE can actually print the output.
