Dropping a package v17

The syntax for deleting an entire package or the package body is:

DROP PACKAGE [ BODY ] package_name;

If you omit the keyword BODY, both the package specification and the package body are deleted, that is, the entire package is dropped. If you specify the keyword BODY, then only the package body is dropped. The package specification remains intact. package_name is the identifier of the package to drop.

The following statement destroys only the package body of emp_admin:

DROP PACKAGE BODY emp_admin;

The following statement drops the entire emp_admin package:

DROP PACKAGE emp_admin;
