Procedural Language/SQL

Procedural Language/SQL (PL/SQL) is a programming language used to manage and manipulate data within a database. It allows developers to write detailed instructions, called procedures or scripts, that can perform complex operations like calculations, data validation, and automation tasks. Unlike standard SQL, which is mainly used for querying data, PL/SQL adds programming features such as variables, loops, and error handling, making it powerful for building efficient, reusable database applications. It is commonly used in Oracle databases to enhance the performance and functionality of data management processes.
