Using PL/SQL Packages
Goods which are not shared are not goods. —Fernando de Rojas
This chapter shows how to bundle related PL/SQL code and data into a package. The package might include a set of procedures that forms an API, or a pool of type definitions and variable declarations. The package is compiled and stored in the database, where its contents can be shared by many applications.
This chapter contains these topics:
■What Is a PL/SQL Package? on page 9-2
■Advantages of PL/SQL Packages on page 9-3
■Understanding The Package Specification on page 9-4
■Understanding The Package Body on page 9-6
