Is there any feature of asynchronous calling in PL/SQL? Suppose I am in a block of code would like to call a procedure multiple times and wouldn’t bother when and what the procedure returns?
BEGIN myProc(1,100); myProc(101,200); myProc(201,300); ... ... END; In the above case, I don’t want my code to wait for myProc(1,100) to finish processing before executing(101,200)
Thanks.
+1 for DBMS_SCHEDULER and DBMS_JOB approaches, but also consider whether you ought to be using a different approach.
If you have a procedure which executes in a row-by-row manner and you find that it is slow, the answer is probably not to run the procedure multiple times simltaneously but to ensure that a set-based aproach is used instead. At an extreme you can even then use parallel query and parallel DML to reduce the wall clock time of the process.
I mention this only because it is a very common fault.
