Hi Guys,

I am trying to see a simple output "Hello World" being displayed on the output screen but unfortunately I am not able to see it.Its strange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I run the following in TOAD:--

BEGIN

DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Hello World');

END;


Now I want to see the output under Views-->DBMS OUTPUT.But strangely I dont see anything.


Can u please tell me why??

The green light on the left of the DBMS Output screen shows Server Output is ON.

Thanks,
Avik

I don't think Green Light means on.
If you click on that, it will be on. Try..

Red light = off, green light = on.
Sounds simple.

However, it seems that either guys at Quest software made our lives a little bit more complicated than necessary (so red/green doesn't always work as expected), or we are missing something (sometimes).

Therefore, when that happens to me, I turn it on/off several times, toggle polling on/off, open another tab and DBMS_OUTPUT there and go back to the first tab hoping that output will be there. It *usually* helps, but not always. Finally, try to turn editor window off, open a new one and - DBMS_OUTPUT once again.

What is "non clicable"?

People die from SQL*Plus too.

Seems my previous post is little vague.
I don't use TOAD now. But what I have observed is:
The Green Button means: "Click Me" to enable the output.
So, it doesn't mean that, if the button is Green in color, the output is enabled.
It's like a [NOT "whatever it shows"...] Laughing

hi avikroy
when you login in toad and write your code i.e-
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('HELLO');
END;
when you press f9 then you got the message PL/SQL PROCEDURE SUCESSFULLY COMPLETED.Then go on DBMS OUTPUT and press on (turn output on )button and when it goes GREEN then again press f9 then you will got the desired output.



Thanks
Dhinendra

I checked in some other machine now.
It is working as mentioned by you.

Basically you say you have to execute the procedure twice, which does not make sense.
