If everything goes well, you will be ready to fetch your first real exercise. ## Setup Go through the setup instructions for PL/SQL to get ready to code: http://exercism.io/languages/plsql ## Running the Tests Execute the tests by calling the `run` method in the respective `ut_#` package. The necessary code should be contained at the end of the test package. As an example, the test for the _hamming_ exercise would be run using ``` begin ut_hamming#.run; end; / ``` ## Source This is an exercise to introduce users to using Exercism [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_world!%22_program](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_world!%22_program) ## Submitting Incomplete Solutions It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
