In PL/SQL, you can use the following method to bulk export stored procedures:

  1. Using the SQL Developer tool:
  2. Open the SQL Developer tool and connect to the appropriate database.
  3. Expand the “Stored Procedures” node in the Object Explorer window and locate the stored procedure you want to export.
  4. Right-click on the stored procedure, select “Export”, then choose the location and format for the exported file (such as SQL file).
  5. Click on the “Export” button to complete the bulk export of stored procedures.
  6. Utilizing the PL/SQL Developer tool:
  7. Open the PL/SQL Developer tool and connect to the relevant database.
  8. In the Object Browser window, expand the “Stored Procedures” node and locate the stored procedure that you want to export.
  9. Right click on the stored procedure, select “Export”, and then choose the location and format (such as SQL file) for the exported file.
  10. Click on the “Export” button to complete the batch export of stored procedures.
  11. Execute using command line tools.
  12. Open the command line terminal and connect to the appropriate database.
  13. Login to the database using command line tools like SQL*Plus or SQLcl.
  14. Run the following command to export the definition of stored procedures:
    SET PAGESIZE 0
    SET LONG 90000
    SET LINESIZE 1000
    SET TRIMSPOOL ON

    SPOOL /path/to/exported_procedures.sql

    SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL(‘PROCEDURE’, object_name, owner) AS ddl
    FROM all_objects
    WHERE object_type = ‘PROCEDURE’
    AND owner = ‘your_schema’;

    SPOOL OFF

  15. Replace the /path/to/exported_procedures.sql in the above command with the actual path of the exported file.
  16. After running the command, the definition of the stored procedure will be exported to the specified file.

The first two methods utilize visual tools, while the third method involves exporting using a command line tool. Choose the method that best suits your needs based on the actual situation.
