RE: creating a procedure

I am not one to usually shout RTFM from the mountain top, but I somehow feel compelled because I have read a couple of responses that hadn't mentioned that age old mantra.

Your procedure might be salvagable by putting a ; at the end of your select statement, but I don't believe it will do anything more than compile. You need to look into The Oracle Docs on PL/SQL. Because while you might have created a procedure, it isn't very procedural.

I want to create a stored procedure that takes the following information and puts it into a table. How would I do this?

CREATE OR REPLACE Procedure Used_license as Begin
Select A.Pc_session_id From pt_client_event A where A.pc_event_op = 'LAUNCH' and A.pc_date >=SYSDATE -1
minus
Select B.Pc_session_id From pt_client_event B where B.Pc_event_op = 'LOGOUT' and B.pc_date >=SYSDATE -1
End;

I am tying to do it this way but getting errors:

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "END" when expecting one of the following:

• & - + ; / for mod rem an exponent (**) and or group having intersect minus order start union where connect ||
