Hi I am a newbie to oracle stored procedure and package.
I would like to learn about it and why we prefer SP instead of inline query.
Whats the use of putting SP in package.
I have tried to read a few articles but i dint clearly understand the reason to be frank.

Can you please provide an example of insert/delete/update/select query in SP?

Thanks & Regards
Akshay.

A procedure or function is a schema object that consists of a set of SQL statements and other PL/SQL constructs, grouped together, stored in the database, and executed as a unit to solve a specific problem or perform a set of related tasks.

Packages encapsulate related procedures, functions, and associated cursors and variables together as a unit in the database.

For rest of the questions please refer to the Oracle [documentation] and [tutorial].
