Manage stored procedures

Overview

After you log in to OceanBase Developer Center (ODC), you can click the name of a connection on the homepage to go to the corresponding connection management page. In the left-side navigation pane, you can click Stored Procedure to get a list of stored procedures in the current database.

In the stored procedure list, you can view the Structure tree of an object, or right-click the object to perform some Management actions on the object. You can also double-click the name of the stored procedure in the list to go to the Stored procedure management page.

Structure tree

You can click the expand icon before the name of the target stored procedure in the stored procedure list, and the structure tree of the stored procedure is displayed in a drop-down list, as shown in the following figure.

The structure tree of a stored procedure can have up to three levels. When you right-click an item in the tree, the shortcut menu displays some actions that you can perform on the item. For more information about these actions, see the Management actions section. In this section, you can find the table describing the management options.

Management actions

The names of stored procedure objects support ascending order by the head character by default in the stored procedure list.
