In Oracle PL/SQL, the method to print output is using the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE procedure. This procedure writes text to the console or output buffer, which can be viewed after execution if DBMS_OUTPUT is enabled. Here’s how you use it:
- First, enable output in your SQL environment (like SQL*Plus or Oracle SQL Developer):
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
- Use DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE to print output:
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Hello, World!');
END;
/
This will display:
Hello, World!
Make sure that SERVEROUTPUT is enabled; otherwise, you won't see the output in your console.
