PL/SQL Without the PL
Summary: Source-to-source compiler translates user-defined PL/SQL functions with arbitrary control flow into plain SQL via recursive CTEs. Eliminating PL/SQL–SQL context switches yields runtime savings; the demo supports interactive editing, live re-compilation, and visualization of intermediate representations.
