I'm impressed with Oracle packages as they almost seem like classes to me-Variables which 'reflect' existing table meta data
-Custom data types
-Multiple 'methods' within the package all returning different types
...and you are absolutely correct.
Are you old enough to remember Ada - the programming language? packages come from there.
I remember ADA, took a couple of courses that used it in college? I may still have the books some where at home.
Does the language still live or has it gone the way of the dinosaur?
