All inputs have to be supplied by the user before the code is executed against the database. If you are using Oracle however it can prompt the user for input when using SQLPlus. (You didn’t specify the platform you are using)

What ever front end you are using should handle the input of data from the user. Let the database simply handle the data processing and storage.
