Use of Order by clause for records with datatype as character
We generally cannot order the records for a column with character data type. Please use the following trick to use the order clause:
select employee_number from employees
order by lpad(employee_number,100);
Using the lpad the zeros would be appended and then sql will treat them as numbers and the employee number would be sorted.

Printing Fibonacci series in PL/SQL
DECLARE
RESULT NUMBER := 1;
previous NUMBER := -1;
l_sum NUMBER;
n NUMBER;
l_in NUMBER := 10;
BEGIN
FOR n IN 1 .. l_in
LOOP
l_sum := RESULT + previous;
previous := RESULT;
RESULT := l_sum;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (l_sum);
END LOOP;
END;
Other ways to print the Fib series is as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fib (n POSITIVE) RETURN INTEGER IS
BEGIN
IF (n = 1) OR (n = 2) THEN -- terminating condition
RETURN 1;
ELSE
RETURN fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2); -- recursive call
END IF;
END fib;
/
-- Test Fibonacci Series:
SELECT fib(1), fib(2), fib(3), fib(4), fib(5) FROM dual;

Display the PL/SQL Dependency Tree
SELECT lvl, u.object_id, u.object_type, LPAD (' ', lvl) || object_name obj
FROM (SELECT LEVEL lvl, object_id

START WITH s.object_id =

When prompted, enter the OBJECT_NAME of the object whose dependencies you want to identify.
The OBJECT_NAME can be a PACKAGE, PACKAGE BODY, or PROCEDURE. The OBJECT_NAME is the name of the object at the root of the tree.
