RES: Let's make CPgAN!

Hi Florian :

Oracle has packages.

Packages are collections of functions, procedures, variables, constants,
ect, put all together.

You has two commands

CREATE PACKAGES, CREATE PACKAGES BODY.

CREATE PACKAGES this creates the definations, list of components, and the
name.

CREATE PACKAGES BODY is components defination. Components code.

You can have information global to packages, is this, share information
between function and other components via global variables or constants.

Is usefull to make a packages for manage logic of a system. In place of
create function, procedures, etc, all individual.
You can put all logic together.

Oracle has many prefined packages, to make most commonly task.
