RE : Postgreqsl & Package

Thanks, Shridhar,
I've read something like that in my search this morning!
But doing that you can have only one package in the scope of a schema.
Then in a multipackage project these packages cannot access directly to
the same objects.
In you eg. We could have a table a.people, and it is not in a scope
accessible to b.test1 without a grant statement.
More info is welcomed,
Otherwise thanks a lot.

You can use scemas instead of packages.  You still might miss few
details
w.r.t oracle package but in general that should fill in the gap pretty
nicely.

Check the following

test=# create schema a;
CREATE SCHEMA
test=# create schema b;
CREATE SCHEMA
test=# create function a.test1() returns boolean as 'begin test'# return
true; test'# end;' language plpgsql; CREATE FUNCTION test=# create
function b.test1() returns boolean as 'begin test'# return false; test'#
end;' language plpgsql; CREATE FUNCTION test=# select a.test1();  test1
-------
 t
(1 row)

test=# select b.test1();
 test1
-------
 f
(1 row)
