Subprograms

 Subprograms are named PL/SQL blocks that can


take parameters and can be invoked. Subprograms
allow decomposition of a program into logical units.
PL/SQL has two types of subprograms:
 Procedures

 Functions

They can be further classified as:


 Local subprograms

 Stored Subprograms

Local and Stored Subprograms

 Local Subprograms
Such procedures and functions are local to the
PL/SQL module, which contain it. They can be
created in the declarative section of PL/SQL
module, local to the module. The local module can
be called anywhere in the module’s execution
section.
 Stored Subprograms
A stored procedure or function is a named PL/SQL
code block that have been compiled and stored in
one of the Oracle engine’s system tables.They are
invoked or called by any the PL/SQL block that
appear within an application.
