title: Running sql scripts from sqldeveloper vs from java code
body: <p>I am trying to run a few sql scripts in Oracle 11g R2</p>
  
  <p>When I try to run these scripts from a standalone java code the query runs into 40 odd minutes but when I run the same from the sqldeveloper client it runs in 4 minutes</p>
  
  <p>What could be the reason ?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>EDIT</p>
  
  <p>Well I am doing a few update scripts, calling a pl/sql procedure</p>
  
  <p>Yes I am doing a string concatenation</p>
