CREATE PACKAGE BODY

The CREATE PACKAGE BODY statement creates the body of a standalone package. A package is an encapsulated collection of related procedures, functions, and other program objects stored together in your database. A package specification declares these objects. A package body defines these objects.

Required Privilege

CREATE PROCEDURE (if owner) or CREATE ANY PROCEDURE (if not owner).

Usage with TimesTen Scaleout

This statement is supported with TimesTen Scaleout.

SQL Syntax

CREATE [OR REPLACE] PACKAGE BODY [Owner.]PackageBody 
      {IS|AS} plsql_package_body

Parameters

Parameter	Description
OR REPLACE	Specify OR REPLACE to recreate the package body if it already exists. Use this clause to change the body of an existing package without dropping and recreating it. When you change a package body, TimesTen recompiles it.
PackageBody	Name of the package body.
IS|AS	Specify either IS or AS to declare the body of the function.
plsql_package_body	Specifies the package body which consists of PL/SQL subprograms.

Description

In a replicated environment, the CREATE PACKAGE BODY statement is not replicated. For more information, see Creating a New PL/SQL Object in an Existing Active Standby Pair and Adding a PL/SQL Object to an Existing Classic Replication Scheme in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Replication Guide.

When you create or replace a package body, the privileges granted on the package body remain the same. If you drop and recreate the object, the object privileges that were granted on the original object are revoked.
