here?

Positional (*)

A combination of positional and named

2. The following procedure has been created:

Mark for Review
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE myproc (1) Points
(p_p1 NUMBER, p_p2 VARCHAR2)
IS BEGIN ...

Which one of the following calls to the procedure will NOT work?

myproc(80, p_p2 => 'Smith');

myproc(p_p1 => 80, p_p2 => 'Smith');

myproc(80, 'Smith');

Correct

11. The following are the steps

involved in creating, and later Mark for Review
modifying and re-creating, a
(1) Points
PL/SQL procedure in Application
Express. Which step is missing?

1. Type the procedure code

in the SQL Commands
window
2. Click on the "Save"
button and save the
procedure code
3. Retrieve the saved code
from "Saved SQL" in SQL
Commands
4. Modify the code in the
SQL Commands window
5. Execute the code to re-
create the procedure

Execute the procedure from

USER_SOURCE data
dictionary view
Enter parameters and data
type
Execute the code to create
the procedure (*)
Invoke the procedure from
an anonymous block

Correct

12. Which of the following keywords

salary is: ' || v_salary);
END;

The statement will raise a

NO_DATA_FOUND exception

does not exist.
The statement will fail
because the last line of code
should be END emp_proc;
The statement will fail
because the procedure does
not have any parameters.
The procedure will be
created successfully. (*)
The statement will fail
because you cannot declare
variables such as v_salary
inside a procedure.
