SHOW PACKAGE STATUS

List stored packages. View metadata about the interface part of Oracle-compatible packages in the database.

Syntax

SHOW PACKAGE STATUS
    [LIKE 'pattern' | WHERE expr]

Description

The SHOW PACKAGE STATUS statement returns characteristics of stored package specifications, such as the database, name, type, creator, creation and modification dates, and character set information. A similar statement, SHOW PACKAGE BODY STATUS, displays information about stored package bodies (i.e. implementations).

The LIKE clause, if present, indicates which package names to match. The WHERE and LIKE clauses can be given to select rows using more general conditions, as discussed in Extended SHOW.

The ROUTINES table in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA database contains more detailed information.
