86 DBMS_MGD_ID_UTL

The DBMS_MGD_ID_UTL package contains various functions and procedures that comprise the following utility subprograms:

See Also:

Oracle Database Advanced Application Developer's Guide for more information.

This chapter describes each of these utility subprograms and contains the following topics:

The examples in this chapter assume that the user has run the following set of commands before running the contents of each script:

SQL> connect / as sysdba;
Connected.
SQL> create user mgduser identified by password;
SQL> grant connect, resource to mgduser;
SQL> connect mgduser
Enter password: mgduserpassword
Connected.
SQL> set serveroutput on;

Examples

This example performs the following actions:

  1. Creates a category.

  2. Adds a contractor scheme and an employee scheme to the MGD_SAMPLE_CATEGORY category.

  3. Validates the MGD_SAMPLE_CATEGORY scheme.

  4. Tests the tag translation of the contractor scheme and the employee scheme.
