In V6 wasn't PL/SQL only available with the TPO option? Something like that.
You could run standalone PL/SQL scripts if you were licensed for it, but
didn't, as you have already said, have stored PL/SQL yet. A client didn't
want to pay for the TPO option (or whatever it was called), but since PL/SQL
was there in Forms 3.0 (like you said), we would have batch routines using
Forms with the PL/SQL code in a startup trigger that would then exit the
form once it completed ;-) And the good old INP file -- the only way to be
productive was to do most of you work directly in the INP file though we all
knew it wasn't supported ;-) Found the Forms 3.0 interface a little better
so spent less time working directly in the INP file, but you know we all
still did on occasion.
