21st Century PL/SQL
Your chance to influence the direction of the Oracle PL/SQL language.
General and Miscellaneous issues > Operators
I\'d like to suggest that PL/SQL support +=, *=, etc. and would like a category to post in. I\'ve just spent another afternoon tracking down another bug where one line reads a := b where the line should have read a := a || b; More concise syntax, in line with most other languages, would be helpful.

Native pause / wait command
Add a nativly pause / wait command to the language. It is true that you can do this with DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP, but that package is not always installed in the database, and it should just be a part of PL/SQL itself.Posted by Andre Meier at 11:46 AM | Add your thoughts (0)
