Packages

There are a developers and
DBAs that
have been writing packages for a very long time. And there are a lot of people that have never written
one or who would like to improve their PL/SQL skills. This
workshop has something for everyone.
For the beginners and intermediate users we cover:
- Creating packages with
both public and private functions and procedures
- Using packages to define
data types
- Using packages to define
constants and variables
- Using packages to define
exceptions
For the experience
developer and DBA we cover:
- Package initialization
section
- Overloading
- PRAGMA SERIALLY_REUSABLE
- DBMS_SESSION.MODIFY_PACKAGE_STATE
- DBMS_SESSION.RESET_PACKAGE

The PSOUG's Packages class focuses on the advantages that packages bring to PL/SQL
code over stand-alone functions and stored procedures. The skills taught here are essential for building
"best-practice" applications that maximize performance, scalability, and manageability.
This 3 hour, hands-on workshop is only $100/person.

Lab
1 |
Introduction
to Writing PL/SQL Packages
Packages are much more than libraries of
PL/SQL functions and procedures but that is where
understanding them must start.
This hands-on lab teaches the skill to build
package headers and package bodies with existing
functions and procedures, the concept and power of
overloading, and how to implement overloading in
packages. |
| 7:00-8:00pm |
Lab
2 |
Defining
Constants, Variables, Exceptions, and Private
Objects
In this lab we extend our work with packages by
showing how package headers can be extended and
utilized to define constants, variables, and
exceptions.
We also teach how the package body can be used to
define functions and procedures that are private
to the package. |
| 8:00-9:00pm |
Lab
3 |
Initialization
Section and Serially Reusability
In this final lab of the evening we cover two of
the most important topics when working with
user-defined packages: The package initialization
section and serial reusability. |
