Procedure Help Please

Question

I am creating an apex app as part of a personal project and am a bit stuck.
I have created 2 procedures but I can't figure out how to make them run at the same time, I would ideally like to put them into one single procedure, but every time I try I end up with error warnings.
the procedures I have are as follows:
PROCEDURE 1
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE upload_new_image
  (p_filename IN VARCHAR2)
IS
  l_upload_size   INTEGER;
  l_upload_blob   BLOB;
  l_image_id      NUMBER;
  l_image         ORDSYS.ORDImage;
BEGIN
    -- Get the length, MIME type and the BLOB of the new image from the
    -- upload table. apex_application_files is a synonym for WWV_FLOW_FILES
  SELECT doc_size,
         blob_content
  INTO   l_upload_size,
         l_upload_blob
  FROM apex_application_files
  WHERE name = p_filename;
  -- Insert a new row into the table, returning the newly allocated sequence
  -- number from seq_image_id
  INSERT INTO images
   image_id,
   filename,
   image
  VALUES
   seq_image_id.nextval,
   p_filename,
   ORDSYS.ORDIMAGE.INIT()
  RETURNING image_id
  INTO l_image_id;
  -- lock the row
  SELECT image
  INTO l_image
  FROM images
  WHERE image_id = l_image_id
  FOR UPDATE;
-- copy the blob into the ORDImage BLOB container
DBMS_LOB.COPY( l_image.source.localData, l_upload_blob, l_upload_size );
l_image.setProperties(); -- just in case
  UPDATE images
  SET image = l_image
  WHERE image_id = l_image_id;
  -- clear from upload table
  DELETE FROM apex_application_files 
  WHERE name = p_filename;
  COMMIT;
  EXCEPTION
  WHEN others
  THEN htp.p(SQLERRM);
END upload_new_image;PROCEDURE 2
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE create_blob_thumbnail (p_image_id IN INTEGER) IS
  l_orig          ORDSYS.ORDImage;
  l_thumb         ORDSYS.ORDImage;
  l_blob_thumb    BLOB;
BEGIN
  -- lock row
  SELECT image
  INTO l_orig
  FROM images
  WHERE image_id = p_image_id FOR UPDATE;
  l_thumb := ORDSYS.ORDImage.Init();
  dbms_lob.createTemporary(l_thumb.source.localData, true);
  ORDSYS.ORDImage.processCopy(l_orig,
                              'maxscale=128 128',
                              l_thumb);
  UPDATE images
  SET thumbnail = l_thumb.source.localData
  WHERE image_id = p_image_id;
  dbms_lob.freeTemporary(l_thumb.source.localData);
  COMMIT;
END;Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have created 2 procedures but I can't figure out how to make them run at the same timeRunning things in parallel would require setting them running as scheduled jobs so they run in their own transactional sessions. You won't be able to run two procedures in parallel from the same session.
However you should certainly be able to combine two procedures into one if that is all you require.
