Question

I am using oracle 11g . I am trying to run a procedure inside a package by using the command

execute package.procedure 

but I keep getting the exception

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 12:
PLS-00302: component 'package' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored

The package and package body i created is the following. What i am actually trying to do here is to create a package which is used to create tables each time its executed. so i wrote the following script.

—–Package

create or replace package pack1 as
end pack1 ;
/

——Package Body

create or replace package body pack1 as
procedure proc1
is 
begin
execute immediate 'create table bcd(bc date)';
end ;
procedure proc2
is 
begin
execute immediate 'create table bcde(bc number(12,0)) as select country_id from      countries';
end ;
end pack1;
/

but when i ran

execute pack1.proc2 ;

It gave me the above exception.

Can someone help me with what is wrong ?

Thanks a ton in advance

Procedures and functions in a package are private by default. To make them public you have to declare them in the package specification:

create or replace package pack1 as
procedure proc1;
procedure proc2;
end pack1;
/

Creating tables on the fly doesn’t sounds like a good idea though.
