2.282 PLSCOPE_SETTINGS

PLSCOPE_SETTINGS controls the compile time collection, cross-reference, and storage of PL/SQL source code identifier data.

Property Description

Parameter type

String

Syntax

PLSCOPE_SETTINGS = ‘value_clause [, value_clause ]’

value_clause::=

{ IDENTIFIERS | STATEMENTS } : { ALL | NONE | PUBLIC (for IDENTIFIERS only) | SQL (for IDENTIFIERS only) | PLSQL (for IDENTIFIERS only) }

Default value

‘IDENTIFIERS:NONE’

Modifiable

ALTER SESSION, ALTER SYSTEM

Modifiable in a PDB

Yes

Basic

No

Values

  • IDENTIFIERS:ALL

    Enables the collection of all source code identifier data.

  • IDENTIFIERS:NONE

    Disables the collection of all source code identifier data.

  • IDENTIFIERS: PUBLIC

    Enables the collection of all PUBLIC user identifier data (except for DEFINITION)

  • IDENTIFIERS:SQL

    Enables the collection of all SQL identifier data.

  • IDENTIFIERS:PLSQL

    Enables the collection of all PLSQL identifier data.

  • STATEMENTS:ALL

    Enables the collection of all SQL statements used in PL/SQL.

  • STATEMENTS:NONE

    Disables the collection of all statements.

PLSCOPE_SETTINGS can be set on a session, system, or per-library unit (ALTER COMPILE) basis. The current setting of PLSCOPE_SETTINGS for any library unit can be attained by querying the *_PLSQL_OBJECT_SETTINGS views. Any identifier data collected by setting this parameter can be accessed using the *_IDENTIFIERS views.

When a STATEMENTS setting is not specified, and IDENTIFIERS is specified but set to a value other than NONE, STATEMENTS defaults to a setting of ALL, which is equal to:
IDENTIFIERS: [ALL|PLSQL|PLSQL|PUBLIC]

Examples

The following parameter setting causes PL/SQL and SQL identifiers and statements to be collected:

PLSCOPE_SETTINGS = 'IDENTIFIERS:ALL, STATEMENTS:ALL'

The following parameter setting causes only SQL identifiers and statements to be collected:

PLSCOPE_SETTINGS = 'IDENTIFIERS:SQL, STATEMENTS:ALL'

The following parameter setting causes only PL/SQL identifiers to be collected:

PLSCOPE_SETTINGS = 'IDENTIFIERS:PLSQL, STATEMENTS:NONE'

The following parameter setting causes no identifier data to be collected, and drops any existing identifier data:

PLSCOPE_SETTINGS = 'IDENTIFIERS: NONE'
