Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: pl/sql is INTERPRETED?
I wrote something more substantial up on this a few months ago, but can't easily find it right now. So, I'll just cut-and-paste a blurb I found:
"DIANA (Descriptive Intermediate Attributed Notation for Ada), is a high-level tree-structured intermediate language that provides communication internal to compilers and other tools. In Oracle, DIANA is an intermediate representation of a PL/SQL program unit, generated by the compiler (SYS.DIANA package). The Diana includes syntactic and semantic information for a compiled program unit."

And if you want to see the Diana-code (it's an Ada-term as I recall) all you have to do is take some wrap'ed code and "Dec" it, since wrap'ed code is nothing but Diana-code that has been Hex'ed. Guess who told me that...
