You can use the New Stored Procedure wizard to create SQL or PL/SQL stored procedures from a database connection in the Administration Explorer or the Data Source Explorer.

Before you begin

Ensure the following requirements are met:

About this task

With the routine editor, you can create a SQL stored procedure or PL/SQL stored procedure based on a template, then modify the code in the editor as needed. This method is useful if you want to quickly create a stored procedure and run it on the server.

Routine development using a wizard is not supported for every available data source. See Routine support by server type for details.

Procedure

To create a stored procedure from the Data Source Explorer or Administration Explorer:

  1. In the explorer view, right-click the Stored Procedures folder and click New Stored Procedure.
    • In the Data Source Explorer, a Stored Procedures folder is in each schema of the Schemas folder.
    • In the Administration Explorer, the Stored Procedures folder is in the Application Object folder.

    The New Stored Procedure wizard opens.
  2. Complete the steps of the wizard.

    After you specify a name and language, select a template to use as the starting point for your stored procedure. Some templates are included with the product, or you can create your own templates to share with other team members using the Routines > Templates Preferences page.

Results

The routine editor opens, initialized with a sample stored procedure.

What to do next

Modify the sample stored procedure code as needed. Deploy the stored procedure to your database and run the stored procedure.

You can save the stored procedure as a file on your computer. The saved file contains the source code and property information from the database.

You open the saved file from the workbench by selecting File > Open File. When you open the file, you specify database connection information. The connection information is used when you deploy and run the stored procedure.
