1. What is NOCOPY?

***

By default the IN parameter is passed by reference and the OUT and IN OUT parameters
are passed by value.
NOCOPY : is a compiles hint that can be used with OUT and IN OUT parameter to
request to pass by reference. This improves the performance with OUT and INOUT
parameters.
7 Advantages of stored functions and procedures
* Applications can be modularized.
* Easy maintenance.
- Routines can be modified online without interfering other users.
- One routine can be modified to effect multiple applications.
* Improved data security and integrity.
- Indirect access to database objects can be controlled from non privileged users with
security privileges.
* Improved performance.
- Reparsing for multiple users can be avoided by exploiting the shared SQL area.
- PL/SQL parsing at run-time can be avoided by pursing at compile time.
- Number of calls to the database can be reduced and network traffic decreased by
bundling commands.
* Improved code clarity.
- The clarity of code increases by using appropriate identifier names to describe the
action of the routines which reduces the need for comments.
