Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
CONCEPT
A database vendor may extend standard SQL with its own procedural language.
Such an extension adds variables, conditions, loops, exception handling, and stored program units to declarative SQL.
APPLICATION
PL/SQL stands for Procedural Language/SQL and is Oracle Database's procedural extension. Therefore, among the listed systems, PL/SQL is associated with Oracle.
CROSS-CHECK / CONTRAST
Oracle Database documents PL/SQL as its procedural extension to SQL.
MySQL stored programs use MySQL's own stored-program syntax, based on SQL/PSM-style constructs.
SQL Server uses Transact-SQL (T-SQL) as its procedural SQL language.
MongoDB is a document database and uses its command and driver APIs rather than a procedural SQL language.
