View list Of all procedures in Package Body

Hi,

Just describe the package.  This will give you the list of functions, procedures in the package with parameters and datatype.

SQL> DESC packagename


If you want to see the contents of the procedures, you can select from user_source
where type = 'PACKAGE BODY'
and name = packagename
/

Cheers,
Ramesh

RAMESH,

DESCRIBE packagename will not work.  In SQL*Plus, you can only DESCRIBE <packagename>.<procedure>

Hi Thomas,

Well, this depends on the version of database you are using.  If you are still using 7.x (or older), the only way is to look at user_source.

But with Oracle 8 or above, you can just do a
DESC <packagename>

Hope this helps..

If you own the package, use:

SELECT  DISTINCT OBJECT_NAME  
  FROM  USER_ARGUMENTS
  WHERE PACKAGE_NAME='YOUR-PACKAGE_NAME';

This will give you a list of all procedures and functions in a package. Note that overloaded procedure/function will appear only once:

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE
  2  PACKAGE PKG1
  3  IS
  4  PROCEDURE X;
  5  PROCEDURE X(N NUMBER);
  6  FUNCTION X RETURN BOOLEAN;
  7  FUNCTION X(N NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER;
  8  END;
  9  /

Package created.

SQL> SELECT  DISTINCT OBJECT_NAME
  2    FROM  USER_ARGUMENTS
  3    WHERE PACKAGE_NAME = 'PKG1';

OBJECT_NAME
------------------------------
X

If you want to know if it is a function or procedure, use:

SELECT  DISTINCT OBJECT_NAME,
        DECODE(POSITION,0,'FUNCTION','PROCEDURE')
  FROM  USER_ARGUMENTS
  WHERE PACKAGE_NAME='YOUR-PACKAGE_NAME';

Note, that procedure overloaded with function will appear twice: as procedure and as function:

SQL> SELECT  DISTINCT OBJECT_NAME,
  2          DECODE(POSITION,0,'FUNCTION','PROCEDURE')
  3    FROM  USER_ARGUMENTS
  4    WHERE PACKAGE_NAME = 'PKG1';

OBJECT_NAME                    DECODE(PO
------------------------------ ---------
X                              FUNCTION
X                              PROCEDURE

If you are not packagae owner but have EXECUTE privilege on a package, use:

SELECT  DISTINCT OBJECT_NAME  
  FROM  ALL_ARGUMENTS
  WHERE PACKAGE_NAME='YOUR-PACKAGE_NAME'
    AND OWNER = 'PACKAGE-OWNER';

or

SELECT  DISTINCT OBJECT_NAME,
        DECODE(POSITION,0,'FUNCTION','PROCEDURE')
  FROM  USER_ARGUMENTS
  WHERE PACKAGE_NAME='YOUR-PACKAGE_NAME'
   AND OWNER = 'PACKAGE-OWNER';
