Package is an encapsulated collection of related procedures, functions, and other program objects stored together in the database. The package specification declares these objects. The package body, specified subsequently, defines these objects.

New package bodies are created within Create Package Body Wizard. In order to run the wizard you should either

•	select the Object \| Create Database Object... main menu item;

•	select the Package body icon in the Create Database Object dialog

•	select the Package body list or any object from that list in the explorer tree;

•	select the Create New Package Body... item from the popup menu

•	open the schema in Schema Editor and the Package bodes tab there;

•	press the Insert key or select the Create New Package body... item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar).

To create a new package body with the same properties as one of the existing package body has:

•	select the Object \| Duplicate Database Object... main menu item;

•	follow the instructions of Duplicate Object Wizard.

Package bodies can be edited within Package body Editor. In order to run the editor you should either

•	select the package body for editing in the explorer tree (type the first letters of the package body name for quick search);

•	select the Edit Package Body ... item from the popup menu

•	open the schema in Schema Editor and the Package Bodes tab there;

•	select the package body to edit;

•	press the Enter key or select the Edit Package Body item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar).

You can change the name of the package body using the Rename Package Body dialog. To open the dialog you should either

•	select the package body to rename in the explorer tree;

•	select the Rename Package Body item from the popup menu

•	open the schema in Schema Editor and the Package Bodes tab there;

•	select the package body to rename;

•	select the Rename Package Body item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar).

To drop a package body:

•	select the package body to drop in the explorer tree;

•	select the Drop Package Body item from the popup menu

•	open the schema in Schema Editor and the Package Bodes tab there;

•	select the package body to drop;

and confirm dropping in the dialog window.
