Hi Tom,

1)why we are using,what is purpose of Member procedures & member functions in plsql subprograms explain an example?
2)Difference between stored subprograms and member subprograms?

and Connor said...

Member routines are associated with using PLSQL in more of a object-oriented metaphor than procedural programming.

The code syntax is standard PLSQL but you are using the language in an OO fashion, namely, encapsulating object functionality behind member and constructor methods.

Hope this helps.
