# DROP PACKAGE BODY

## Syntax

```bnf
DROP PACKAGE BODY [IF EXISTS]  [ db_name . ] package_name
```

## Description

The `DROP PACKAGE BODY` statement can be used when [Oracle SQL\_MODE](/docs/release-notes/community-server/about/compatibility-and-differences/sql_modeoracle.md) is set.

The `DROP PACKAGE BODY` statement drops the package body (that is, the implementation) which was created using the [CREATE PACKAGE BODY](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/data-definition/create/create-package-body.md) statement.

Note, `DROP PACKAGE BODY` drops only the package implementation, but does not drop the package specification. Use [DROP PACKAGE](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/data-definition/drop/drop-package.md) to drop the package entirely (i.e. both implementation and specification).
