What is PL/SQL?

PL/SQL (Procedural Language/Structured Query Language) is a programming language developed by Oracle for writing database objects such as stored procedures, triggers, and functions. It combines the data manipulation capabilities of SQL with the flexibility of procedural programming languages, allowing for complex data operations and business logic processing within the database. PL/SQL runs in Oracle databases and seamlessly integrates with SQL statements, making data manipulation and processing more efficient and convenient.
