What is the DBMS_OUTPUT Oracle supplied package?
Rating:
The DBMS_OUTPUT Oracle supplied package provides procedures that can be used to output values and messages from a PL/SQL block. This is done by accumulating information into a buffer and then allowing the retrieval of the information from the buffer. Every reference to the procedures of the DBMS_OUTPUT package must be qualified with the DBMS_OUTPUT prefix.
The DBMS_OUTPUT package enables developers to closely follow the execution of a subprogram (function or procedure) by sending messages and values to the output buffer. A subprogram can be debugged by specifying autonomous procedure calls and storing the output in a log table.
