Does PL/SQL support CREATE command?

by

No. PL/SQL doesn’t support the data definition commands like CREATE.

Yes, PL/SQL (Procedural Language/Structured Query Language) supports the CREATE command, but with a specific context. In PL/SQL, you use the CREATE command to create stored procedures, functions, triggers, packages, types, and other database objects.

For example, you can use the CREATE PROCEDURE statement to define a stored procedure in PL/SQL. Similarly, you can use CREATE FUNCTION to define a function, CREATE TRIGGER for triggers, CREATE PACKAGE for packages, and so on.

Here’s a simple example of creating a PL/SQL stored procedure:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE my_procedure
IS
BEGIN
-- Your PL/SQL code here
NULL;
END my_procedure;

This example creates a simple procedure named my_procedure. The CREATE OR REPLACE syntax allows you to modify the procedure if it already exists.

So, in summary, while PL/SQL itself doesn’t directly handle general database object creation like tables or indexes (that’s typically done with SQL outside of PL/SQL), it does support the CREATE command for creating PL/SQL-specific objects like procedures, functions, triggers, etc.
