Oracle Stored Procedures Explained

A stored procedure in Oracle is a set of precompiled SQL statements and PL/SQL code that can accept input parameters, perform specific tasks, and return results. Stored procedures can be stored in the database and called by multiple programs or users, enhancing database performance and security. They are commonly used for executing complex data operations, data processing, and business logic, serving as a way to encapsulate and reuse database logic. Stored procedures in Oracle can be written in PL/SQL and created and managed within the database.
