Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Wrapping all tables with packages and scalability
I met a guy about 2 months ago who used this design concept. Its basically object oriented abstraction in the database. Each table has a package. Each package has all the methods that operate on the table(all the SQL). SQL is returned with REF Cursors. I know Steve Fuerstein advocates this.
He was stating that in a high transaction system with a max of about 700 transactions/second, he was unable to get his parse/execute ratio above 75%. He noticed that Oracle did not always use bind variables on the dictionary cache elements used by these packages.
Anyone else notice this? I have not tested it.
