Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Calling Package / Procedure
Only way you could do that is to write a standalone function/procedure that would call the packaged function/procedure. Sorry there is no (documented) way. You must prefix the package name to the function or procedure when you execute.
Maybe this is due to name resolution algotithms ... what happens if there are two procedures with same name, same parameters in two different packages? In case of standalone functions and procedures, the names are stored in DBA_OBJECTS, so no duplicates can be created. By storing only the package name in the DBA_OBJECTS, oracle has in-fact provided a much flexible mechanism to overload the procedures or functions.
