Creating Packages

  • Hi,

    Can I create a package in SQL Server 2005? With couple of procedures and functions in it?

    If so, How?

    I am using SQL Server 2005 express edition (Sql Server Management Studio Express).

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    Anybody knows answer to my question?

  • There is nothing in SQL server called "Packages". Perhaps you could explain what they are and we could tell you if it exists by a different name.

    SQL Server is not File-based the way that Oracle is. Except through extreme gyrations, SQL Server cannot "run a file" at all in SQL Server (yes YOU can, but that is using a client tool, it's not SQL Server itself). You run stored procedures which are objects internal to SQL Server. So the Package concept ("all procedures, functions in one file") has no meaning in SQL Server because procedures and functions are not in files in the first place.

    So I would have to say that No, SQL Server has no comparable concept.

  • You can however, use Schemas to have a similar naming and organizational format. But it is still a lot different.
