In our readings we have learned the importance of connections and the use of stored procedures
and functions. For this assignment we will look at stored procedure and function methods
related to securing connections and data in the database.
Note: Dont forget your Oracle 11g documentation resource for the how to examples.
For this assignment you are required to do BOTH Part A and Part B
Part A
Submit short answers that discuss the following questions:
1. What are the advantages of using stored procedures and functions in Oracle?
2. Oracle automatically tracks all object interdependencies for every PL/SQL stored
object. What does this include? When does Oracle automatically recompile a stored
procedure?
3. What is gained when using stored procedures in a client/server environment?
What is the difference between stored procedures and function? When you create a
procedure or function, you may define parameters. What types of parameters can be
declared?
Lab Password Policy
Your task is to develop a single SQL script that will perform all the following tasks of enforcing

60 days
1 day
30 days
UNLIMITED

Tips:
1. One SQL(PL/SQL) file is required to complete all the above tasks.
3. Typical syntax on connecting to SYS is: "conn sys/password as sysdba;"
Submission Requirement:
The SQL script file and the screen capture of your creation will be required for full credit.
