# SHOW CREATE PACKAGE

## Syntax

```sql
SHOW CREATE PACKAGE  [ db_name . ] package_name
```

## Description

The `SHOW CREATE PACKAGE` statement can be used when [Oracle SQL\_MODE](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/server-management/variables-and-modes/sql_mode) is set. It shows the `CREATE` statement that creates the given package specification.

`SHOW CREATE PACKAGE` quotes identifiers according to the value of the [sql\_quote\_show\_create](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/server-management/variables-and-modes/server-system-variables#sql_quote_show_create) system variable.
