PL/SQL Enhancements in Oracle Database 11g

Tags:
programming languages

Overview Oracle Database 11g brings PL/SQL enhancements in these categories: transparent and "Knob-controlled" performance improvements; new language features that one uses in the programs to get better performance; new language features that bring functionality which one earlier couldn't achieve, or could achieve only with cumbersome workarounds and new language features that improve the usability of programming in PL/SQ. Oracle Database 10g introduced a brand new optimizing compiler and a freshly tuned execution environment. There could hardly be a better example of a totally transparent performance enhancement; all one has to do is upgrade (which process necessitates recompilation of existing PL/SQL objects) and the time executing your PL/SQL code (not counting the time spend doing SQL) is cut in half.
