A database procedure is a data-oriented procedure stored in the database and executed within the database server that you can call by name in a script or 4GL procedure. Database procedures are often used to increase performance and help ensure data integrity and consistency.

To use a database procedure in an OpenROAD application, create the procedure using the Database Procedure Editor and then register it with the OpenROAD Workbench. For instructions about how to register a database procedure, see the Workbench User Guide.
