PL/SQL "continue" keyword This will allow a C-Like continue in a loop, to bypass any "else" Boolean conditions. A nasty PL/SQL GOTO is no longer required to exit a Boolean within a loop.
Disabled state for PL/SQL Another 11g new feature is a "disabled" state for PL/SQL (as opposed to "enabled" and "invalid" in dba_objects).
Easy PL/SQL compiling Native Compilation no longer requires a C compiler to compile your PL/SQL. Your code goes directly to a shared library.
Improved PL/SQL stored procedure invalidation mechanism A new 11g features will be fine grained dependency tracking, reducing the number of objects which become invalid as a result of DDL.
Scalable PL/SQL The next scalable execution feature is automatic creation of "native" PL/SQL (and Java code), with just one parameter for each type with an "on/off" value. This apparently provides a 100% performance boost for pure PL/SQL code, and a 10%-30% performance boost for code containing SQL.
Enhanced PL/SQL warnings The 11g PL/SQL compiler will issue a warning for a "when others" with no raise.
Stored Procedure named notation Named notation is now supported when calling a stored procedure from SQL.
