Creating Functions
1. Function full_name:
A. Create a function called full_name. Pass two parameters to the function: an employees last
name and first name. The function should return the full name in the format: last name,
comma and space, first name (for example: Smith, Joe). Save your code.
END;
Function created
B. Test your function from an anonymous block which uses a local variable to store and display
the returned value.
DECLARE
nume VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
nume:=full_name('Popescu', 'Ion');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(nume);
END;
Popescu, Ion
C. Modify your anonymous block from step b to remove the local variable declaration and call
the function directly from within the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE call. Test the block again.
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(full_name('Popescu', 'Ion'));
END;
D. Now call the function from within a SQL SELECT statement. Execute a SQL statement (not
a PL/SQL block) which displays the first_name, last_name and full name (using the function)
of all employees in department 50.
2. Function reverse_string:
A. Create a function which accepts a character string as input and returns the same character string
but with the order of the letters reversed. For example Smith would be returned as htimS. Save
your code. Hint: you will need to declare a local variable to store the reversed string, and build its
contents by reading the input one character at a time (using SUBSTR) in a loop structure, starting
from the last character. Each execution of the loop reads the preceding character and concatenates it
to the reversed string.

Using Functions in SQL Statements
1. Function sal_increase
A. Create and execute a function sal_increase using the following two code samples. The first creates
a function which returns an employees new salary if a percentage increase is granted. The second
calls this function in a SELECT statement, using an increase of 5 percent.
More than 10 rows available. Increase rows selector to view more rows
B. Now, suppose you want to see the same information in your SELECT statement, but only for those
employees for whom the increased salary would be greater than 10000. Write and test two SELECT
statements to do this. In the first, do NOT use your function. In the second, use your function. Use an
increase of 5 percent.
1. Write and execute a SELECT statement that lists all the stored objects you have created in
your account so far. The query should return the object name and type and its status. Order the output
by type of object.
SELECT object_name,object_type,status
FROM user_objects
order by object_type;
2. Change the query from question 3 to show all functions and procedures to which you have
access. Include the owner of the object as well.
SELECT object_name,owner
FROM all_procedures;
1. If you wanted user SUSAN to be able to execute SELECT and all DML statements on your
wf_countries table, what SQL statement would you execute to give her the required privileges?
2. Another user TOM creates a table called tomtab, and does not grant you any privileges on it.
B. Examine the following code. Now the INSERT statement has been included in a procedure which
you have created. Will it work now?
NU VA MERGE
D. TOM now REVOKEs your INSERT privilege on tomtab. TOM then writes the following
procedure. Which privilege must TOM grant to you to allow you to execute the procedure? With this
privilege, will your INSERT work now when you invoke TOMs procedure?
