Answer / arun samal
Anonymous blocks are to be compiled each time when we
require it.But once we compile a named pl/sql block it is
permanently stored as p-code after compilation in the
shared pool of the system global area.
We can call named blocks by any pl/sql block that
appears within an application but we cannot call anonymous
blocks.

An anonymous block is a pl/sql block that appears in your
application and is not named and stored in your database.
A stored procedure or a named block is a pl/sql block that
oracle stores in the database and can be called by name
from any application

Answer / raji_4u
1. Anonymous blocks are compiled each time they are executed,
where as stored subprograms compile only one time when they
are created.
2. Anonymous blocks are not stored in the database so they
can not be called from other blocks, where as stored
subprograms are stored in the database they can be called
from other blocks many times.
