Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Problem with Create Procedure Syntax
You have to use backslash to run CREATE-statement.
Using period just terminate editing of current statement, but not execute
its.
to ensure that procedure was created, execute next select :
select * from user_source where name = 'ADD_COMM';
