Question

How can I get a procedure/function name where an exception occurs in PLSQL?
I need this to create a log of the procedures that have problems in a package.

Answer 1

Unfortunately there is no way to get a stored procedure name, that is wrapped in a package, at run time. Any method, whether it $$PLSQL_UNIT inquiry directive or FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE function of dbms_utility package, that allows you to do that in a case of a stand-alone stored procedure will always give you the anonymous block instead of a name in a case of a stored procedure that is wrapped in the package. Hence your only choice is to capture a package name and the line number on which an error has occurred by using dbms_utility.format_error_backtrace for example.

SQL> create or replace package some_pkg
  2  as
  3    procedure some_proc;
  4  end;
  5  /

Package created

SQL> 
SQL> create or replace package body some_pkg
  2  as
  3     procedure Some_Proc
  4     is
  5       l_var number;
  6     begin
  7       l_var := 1/0;
  8     exception
  9       when others
 10       then dbms_output.put_line(dbms_utility.format_error_backtrace);
 11     end;
 12  end;
 13  /

Package body created

SQL> exec some_pkg.some_proc;

ORA-06512: at "HR.SOME_PKG", line 7
