Hi, I a newbie in Oracle and am trying to create a package body in PL/SQL, so please bear with me.

The statements are:
SQL> create or replace package body RA_GET_TX_INFO_   2 as
  3 begin
  4 select SID from V$SESSION;
  5 end RA_GET_TX_INFO_;

/
Warning: Package Body created with compilation errors. SQL> show errors package body RA_GET_TX_INFO_; Errors for PACKAGE BODY RA_GET_TX_INFO_:

LINE/COL ERROR

-------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
3/10     PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
3/26     PLS-00201: identifier 'SYS.V_$SESSION' must be declared

How can I select from V_$SESSION inside the body? The user account has dba role granted and I can select from V_$SESSION from a normal PL/SQL session.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Rakesh
