Question

I’m trying to create a simple function in Oracle using Toad, but when you run the script, it shows me an error message or success.

My function:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION simple RETURN VARCHAR2 IS

BEGIN
  RETURN 'Simple Function';
END simple;
/

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Answer 1

Your function is correct, you can try with F5.

v6 – v8.6

• Execute Statement (Editor contains 1 statement) — F9 Execute
• Statement at Cursor — SHIFT F9 Execute
• Multiple Statements — F5
• Compile PL/SQL Object at Cursor — F9
• Compile All PL/SQL in Tab — Not Possible

v9

• Execute Statement (Editor contains 1 statement) — F9
• Execute Statement at Cursor — F9 (with delimiters) or SHIFT F9 (w/o delimiters)
• Execute Multiple Statements — F5
• Compile PL/SQL Object at Cursor — F9
• Compile All PL/SQL in Tab — Mouse Right-Click in Navigator
  “Compile All”
