Oracle PL/SQL Package
Posted on 2011-03-07
I want to create a PL/SQL Pacakge Name. Well the package says that the object exists already. However I know it doesn't exist I dropped the previous package name. I need to keep the same name and it doesn't work.
How can I find this object and get rid of it? I tried dropping it again and the error message was that the object doesn't exist.

Make sure you fully qualify your reference to it in your scripts.
That is change
DROP PACKAGE my_package;
to
DROP PACKAGE PACKAGE_OWNER.my_package;
Also, check your synonyms and public synonyms for possible interferences, and make sure you are using the correct (and the same) user login for both the DROP and CREATE actions.

Also, you may want to verify what you get when you run "DESC my_package" and DESC PACKAGE_OWNER.my_package from SQL*Plus.
(Hopefully it goes without saying that PACKAGE_OWNER should be replaced with the name of your schema owner username, you should not actually type "PACKAGE_OWNER" when you are checking.)

Or, use this query to find the problem object:
select owner, object_name, object_type
from all_objects where object_name = '&your_package';
select owner, object_name, object_type
from all_objects where object_name = '&your_package';
You may consider using 'CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE' instead of only 'CREATE PACKAGE'. Use similar syntax for creating the package body also. That way, the object will be created irrespective of whether it is existing already or not.
Thanks for everyone's support. I ended up figuring it out a different method. But these are good. Thanks for quick response.
