Say I have a procedure like so with the following calls begin pkg_test.get(1); pkg_test.insert(1,2,3); pkg_test.update(1,50); end; The 3 procedures, get, insert, and update are straight sql commands. But is it still a context switch from pl/sql to sql inbetween each procedure call? Or does it stay as sql since there isnt any pl/sql in between each procedure call. Sorry if this a dumb question. Thanks. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
