About stored procedures

Question

whenever i write a stored procedure in Oracle8.0.5 i get procedure created with compilation erros..what does this mean? any logs where i can see what errors exatly have occured? how to check if the procedure has been created at all or not....
my procedure looks like ...
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE DEL_LOGIN_ID (uid IN Varchar2(20)) IS
BEGIN
     delete lst_pg where login_id :=uid;
     delete user_track where login_id :=uid;
     delete hrspent where login_id := uid;
     delete bookmark where login_id := uid;
     delete user_task where login_id := uid;
     delete user_sugg where login_id := uid;
     delete userinfo where login_id := uid;
END;
and i call it using
call del_login_id(666)

hi Gunjan
if you look at your code
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE DEL_LOGIN_ID (uid IN Varchar2(20)) IS
BEGIN
delete lst_pg where login_id :=uid;
delete user_track where login_id :=uid;
delete hrspent where login_id := uid;
delete bookmark where login_id := uid;
delete user_task where login_id := uid;
delete user_sugg where login_id := uid;
delete userinfo where login_id := uid;
END;
you are specifying the command wrongly.
" login_id := uid "
you should give as
login_id = uid
the former statement is called assignment . you should not do
that operation at that place.
correct your statements and then recompile your procedure.
your procedure is very fine excepting that " := " operator.
replace them with " = " . thats all.
Secondly
Delete statement is specifically meant for deletion of records
from table only. Since Table is the only unit of data storage
in oracle . even though you can execute delete command against
a view but inturn it is executed on the base table only.
You can use any of the delete statements
DELETE table1;
or
DELETE FROM table1;
both will work .
Try that
all the best
