Question

I have searched the net and I’ve found a post that uses the following snippet to check if a stored procedure exists:

select * 
  from USER_SOURCE 
 where type='PROCEDURE' 
   and name='my_stored_procedure.' 

Is there any other way to check if a procedure exists?

Edited to add:

Before posting SQL Server ways, please I’m looking for ORACLE ways.

Alternatives:

USER_PROCEDURES:

SELECT *
  FROM USER_PROCEDURES
 WHERE object_name = 'MY_STORED_PROCEDURE'

USER_OBJECTS:

SELECT *
  FROM USER_OBJECTS
 WHERE object_type = 'PROCEDURE'
   AND object_name = 'MY_STORED_PROCEDURE'
