Creates a new package in the database.
Syntax
CREATE PACKAGE package_name [DESCRIPTION package_description]
package_name ::= identifier
package_description ::= string-literal
Remark
The CREATE PACKAGE statement creates a package in the database. Packages provide independent name spaces for the functions in the database. Functions with identical names may exists in the database as long as they are own by different package (see CREATE FUNCTION).
The user must have the CREATE PACKAGE permission to create a package in the database (see GRANT).
Functions in a package do not have individual permissions. A user’s permission on the functions in the package is derived from the user’s permission on the package.
Example
CREATE PACKAGE StringFunctions;
CREATE PACKAGE MyFunc DESCRIPTION 'My functions';
