Hi folks,
OPTION1: I'm working on a procedure and I'm doing it via CREATE PROCEDURE syntax using SQL editor. When I do it this way my procedure is saved under my schema. However if I want to make changes to this procedure after initial creation, it seems I have to delete original and then tweak my SQL in the editor and execute it again. It seems to be read only each time.
OPTION2: As an alternative I can also write a procedure in content using procedure editor (with interface for creating inputs and outputs) by right-clicking on a package and choosing NEW PROCEDURE. This way allows me to repeatedly EDIT my procedure however I don't see how to type declarations above the BEGIN. For example my procedure could be declaring CURSOR prior to the BEGIN step when written via SQL editor but I don't see how to accomplish this when using procedure editor.
So I have two questions;
1) Is there an easier and less cumbersome way to repeatedly edit my procedure using option1?
2) Is it possible to have declarations before BEGIN using option 2?
Thanks,
-Patrick
