Solutions Specification for set_cookie

Description: Create a procedure called set_cookie that sets a cookie for the name and value passed in using OWA_COOKIE.SEND. The expiration date is optional. If it is supplied, the cookie will be set as a persistent cookie by the browser, with the expiration date supplied. If no expiration date is supplied, then the default value of NULL will be used, making it a session-level cookie. Session-level cookies cease to exist when the browser is closed.

Sample Code

  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE set_cookie
    (p_cookie_name IN VARCHAR2,
     p_cookie_value IN VARCHAR2,
     p_expires IN DATE DEFAULT NULL)
