Can anyone help me with what I thought would be straight forward
problem but has gotten the better of me.
Is there any way to print to the screen IMMEDIATELY within PL/SQL ?.
For example to give a message showing the progress of a long update.
I've used DBMS.OUTPUT.PUT_LINE but this buffers everything up and
doesn't get flushed until the end of the program. I thought
DBMS.OUTPUT.DISABLE would flush the buffer but it doesnt. You Can
flush outputs to files but I just want the screen.
Thanks in anticipation.
