Functions


A stored function (also called a user function or user-defined function) is a set of PL/SQL statements you can call by name. Stored functions are very similar to procedures, except that a function returns a value to the environment in which it is called. User functions can be used as part of a SQL expression.

 

Function Editor allows you to define function properties. It opens automatically when you create a new function and is available on editing an existing one.

 

To open a function in Function Editor, double-click it in the DB Explorer tree.
