sysdate verschil

some_proc(sysdate, sysdate); - sysdate zal NIET altijd hetzelfde zijn bij gebruik in een PL/SQL-statement

select some_func(sysdate, sysdate) from dual; - sysdate zal altijd hetzelfde zijn wanneer gebruikt in een SQL-instructie (zelfs als die SQL-instructie PL/SQL aanroept)

Van de Consistentie lezen op verklaringsniveau sectie van de Conceptengids:"Oracle dwingt altijd leesconsistentie op instructieniveau af. Dit garandeert dat alle gegevens die door een enkele query worden geretourneerd afkomstig zijn van één enkel punt in de tijd:de tijd waarop de query begon."

Die pagina houdt min of meer in dat hetzelfde niet geldt voor een pure PL/SQL-functie.

We kunnen dit aantonen door een grote functie (SQL-context) en procedure (PL/SQL-context) te maken die veel tijdstempelparameters accepteert, en vervolgens de invoerparameters te vergelijken op eventuele verschillen. Ik gebruikte tijdstempels in plaats van datums omdat ze op dezelfde manier zouden moeten werken met betrekking tot consistentie, maar tijdstempel (9) is een miljard keer waarschijnlijker om te veranderen dan een datum. (Ruwweg - er zijn waarschijnlijk veel afrondings- en interne klokdetails waarvan ik niet op de hoogte ben die dit ingewikkelder maken.)

--First, use functions like these to create long strings of variables.
--PL/SQL can go to 64K parameters, but luckily differences appear much sooner.
