We released a new version of ORDS this week, and I blogged about a new feature in that release – Auto PLSQL. In that post, I briefly mentioned packages, but I wanted to take a quick moment to show that ‘live.’ So assuming you have HR installed somewhere and HR is REST enabled, let’s build this package. 11705989276742c41e8cb9d_000002 And let’s REST enable it…here’s the code, but of course we could also use SQL Developer’s context…
