ALTER PACKAGE

The ALTER PACKAGE statement explicitly recompiles a package specification, package body, or both. Explicit recompilation eliminates the need for implicit runtime recompilation and prevents associated runtime compilation errors.

This statement recompiles all package objects together. You cannot use the ALTER PROCEDURE or ALTER FUNCTION statement to individually recompile a procedure or function that is part of a package.

Required privilege

No privilege is required for the package owner.

ALTER ANY PROCEDURE for another user's package.

SQL syntax

ALTER PACKAGE [Owner.]PackageName COMPILE
      [PACKAGE|SPECIFICATION|BODY]
      [compiler_parameters_clause […]] 
      [REUSE SETTINGS] 

Parameters

The ALTER PACKAGE statement has the parameters:

Parameter Description
[Owner.]PackageName Name of the package to be recompiled.
COMPILE Required clause used to force the recompilation of the package specification, package body, or both.
[PACKAGE|SPECIFICATION|BODY] Specify PACKAGE to recompile both the package specification and the body. Specify SPECIFICATION to recompile the package specification. Specify BODY to recompile the package body.

PACKAGE is the default.

compiler_parameters_clause Use this optional clause to specify a value for one of the PL/SQL persistent compiler parameters. The PL/SQL persistent compiler parameters are PLSQL_OPTIMIZE_LEVEL, PLSCOPE_SETTINGS and NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS.

You can specify each parameter once in the statement.

If you omit a parameter from this clause and you specify REUSE SETTINGS, then if a value was specified for the parameter in an earlier compilation, TimesTen uses that earlier value. If you omit a parameter and either you do not specify REUSE SETTINGS or no value has been specified for the parameter in an earlier compilation, then TimesTen obtains the value for the parameter from the session environment.

REUSE SETTINGS Use this optional clause to prevent TimesTen from dropping and reacquiring compiler switch settings. When you specify REUSE SETTINGS, TimesTen preserves the existing settings and uses them for the compilation of any parameters for which values are not specified.
