I had considered this except that assemblies are not truly equivalent structures: Not like tables and indexes and functions where comparable objects exist in multiple products. I think of them as equivalent to Oracle libraries.

http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_6001.htm#SQLRF01301

Assemblies do not have:

1. Session global variables and types
2. Variables that persist for term of session
3. An Initialization section
4. Overloading

Calling them equivalent to packages it seems to me would be more misleading than not.

I'd be interested in the opinions of others ... especially those who have actual working experience with Oracle which, alas, Serge does not.
