Question

Is there a way in oracle to see what a procedure’s structure is? I’m trying to log and am running procedures and wanted to store the actual procedure structure in my log.

Answer 1

You could query the ALL_SOURCE table

SELECT text 
  FROM all_source
 WHERE owner = <<owner of procedure>>
   AND name  = <<name of procedure>>
 ORDER BY line

If you are dealing with a procedure that is inside a package

SELECT text 
  FROM all_source
 WHERE owner = <<owner of procedure>>
   AND name  = <<name of procedure>>
   AND type  = 'PACKAGE BODY'
 ORDER BY line

will give you the text of the package body. You could also get the text of the package specification using a TYPE of “PACKAGE”
