CREATE PACKAGE BODY

Implement the logic for a stored package. This statement defines the private variables and code for the subroutines declared in the package specification.

Current

The CREATE PACKAGE BODY statement can be used in any mode.

< 11.4

In Oracle mode, the PL/SQL dialect is used, while in non-Oracle mode, SQL/PSM is used.

Description

The CREATE PACKAGE BODY statement creates the package body for a stored package. The package specification must be previously created using the CREATE PACKAGE statement.

A package body provides implementations of the package public routines and can optionally have:

• package-wide private variables

• package private routines

• forward declarations for private routines

• an executable initialization section

Examples

SET sql_mode=ORACLE;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE employee_tools AS
  FUNCTION getSalary(eid INT) RETURN DECIMAL(10,2);
  PROCEDURE raiseSalary(eid INT, amount DECIMAL(10,2));
  PROCEDURE raiseSalaryStd(eid INT);
  PROCEDURE hire(ename TEXT, esalary DECIMAL(10,2));
END;
$$
CREATE PACKAGE BODY employee_tools AS
  -- package body variables
  stdRaiseAmount DECIMAL(10,2):=500;

  -- private routines
  PROCEDURE log (eid INT, ecmnt TEXT) AS
  BEGIN
    INSERT INTO employee_log (id, cmnt) VALUES (eid, ecmnt);
  END;

  -- public routines
  PROCEDURE hire(ename TEXT, esalary DECIMAL(10,2)) AS
    eid INT;
  BEGIN
    INSERT INTO employee (name, salary) VALUES (ename, esalary);
    eid:= last_insert_id();
    log(eid, 'hire ' || ename);
  END;

  FUNCTION getSalary(eid INT) RETURN DECIMAL(10,2) AS
    nSalary DECIMAL(10,2);
  BEGIN
    SELECT salary INTO nSalary FROM employee WHERE id=eid;
    log(eid, 'getSalary id=' || eid || ' salary=' || nSalary);
    RETURN nSalary;
  END;

  PROCEDURE raiseSalary(eid INT, amount DECIMAL(10,2)) AS
  BEGIN
    UPDATE employee SET salary=salary+amount WHERE id=eid;
    log(eid, 'raiseSalary id=' || eid || ' amount=' || amount);
  END;

  PROCEDURE raiseSalaryStd(eid INT) AS
  BEGIN
    raiseSalary(eid, stdRaiseAmount);
    log(eid, 'raiseSalaryStd id=' || eid);
  END;

BEGIN
  -- This code is executed when the current session
  -- accesses any of the package routines for the first time
  log(0, 'Session ' || connection_id() || ' ' || current_user || ' started');
END;
