You need to supply more information than this. I use pl/sql all the time and I can always stop it when needed, but then I'm working under a specific set of circumstances.

What you have not told us is how you are running the pl/sql. Are you running it as a script from within sqlplus? Are you executing a stored procedure from within sqlplus? Are you running a pl/sql block from a Pro-C program running on the host? Are you running a pl/sql block from a Pro-C program running on a client? Are you running a pl/sql block from an OCI program? Are you running a pl/sql block from a client application such as Visual Basic or Visual C++? This type of information is absolutely required in order to identify what methods can be used to stop the pl/sql from running once started. Received on Thu Sep 09 1999 - 07:01:52 CDT
