I'm new to PL/SQL and I am trying to use same to send output of name from v$database to screen. The code I'm using is as below but the output is not being sent to screen and I can't figure why not. The code is replying with "PL/SQL procedure successfully completed." in SQL*Plus. Maybe this is not the most appropriate way to approach this requirement and alternative method inputs are welcome too!. Are there any other ways to send output to screen aside from DBMS_OUTPUT?

DECLARE db_name varchar2(20);

BEGIN
    SELECT name

        INTO db_name
	FROM v$database;
        DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE
        ( 'Database name is ' || db_name );

END; /
