Oracle procedure testing

As a developer, most of the time you have to testing on your script output.
Some how, you also need to debug into the script & checking on each variable value.

In Oracle procedure, if you doesn’t having any debugging tools like sql developer. It is very difficult to trace your procedure whether is working properly or not.
For me, I will using the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUTLINE command & sqlplus into the Oracle for the testing.

Below is the example.Oracle Procedure Example :

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST1
(
	X IN NUMBER
)
AS
	E_ID VARCHAR2(36);
	E_EMAIL_ADDRESS VARCHAR2(150);
	E_EMAIL_ADDRESS_CAPS VARCHAR2(150);
	E_EMAIL_NOT_EXIST BOOLEAN;
	E_RELATION_NOT_EXIST BOOLEAN;
	V_ERR VARCHAR(2000);

BEGIN
	IF X > 10 THEN
		Y := 100;
	ELSEIF X < 10 THEN
		Y := 50;
	END IF;
	DBMS_OUTPUT.PUTLINE('RESULT Y = ' || Y);
END;

Command Example : 

[[email protected] ~]# sqlplus username/[email protected]

    Should the output not read “RESULT Y = 100”
