Run/Debug PL/SQL

Use this box to specify parameter values for running or debugging a PL/SQL function or procedure. (If you specify a package, select a function or procedure in the package.)

Target: Name of the function or procedure to run or to run in debug mode. (You have a choice only if you specified a package that has more than one subprogram.)

Parameters: List of each parameter for the specified target. The mode of each parameter can be IN (the value is passed in), OUT (the value is returned, or IN/OUT (the value is passed in, and the result of the function or procedure's action is stored in the parameter).

PL/SQL Block: A block of PL/SQL code created by SQL Developer. You should change the formal IN and IN/OUT parameter specifications in this block to actual values that you want to use for running or debugging the function or procedure.

For example, to specify 10 as the value for an input parameter named in_rating, change IN_RATING => IN_RATING to IN_RATING => 10.

When you click OK, SQL Developer runs the function or procedure.

If you are debugging a function or procedure, the debugging toolbar and one or more windows for debug-related information are displayed, as explained in Running and Debugging Functions and Procedures.
