User-defined exceptions for custom logic
Using RAISE and RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR
Logging and documenting errors for maintainability

🔹 7. Subprograms: Procedures and Functions

Key differences between procedures and functions
Parameter types: IN, OUT, IN OUT
Returning values from functions
Designing reusable components with clean modular code

Writing triggers: BEFORE, AFTER, INSTEAD OF
Using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE for dynamic SQL
Creating flexible, parameter-driven logic at runtime

🔹 9. Debugging and Performance Tuning

Step-by-step debugging with Oracle SQL Developer
Managing code dependencies and recompilation
Using BULK COLLECT, FORALL, and compiler warnings
