Ian,
You are 100% correct.
A procedure, function, cursor, etc. not declared in the
package spec, but only in the package body is considered
private to the package and cannot be executed by any
external call, only by calls from other procedures,
functions, etc. within the package.
That way you can only expose the items that you truly want
to be public. IMHO, it is not a limitation at all, but a
very valuable mechanism for enforcing selective security.

I have not tested this. I believe ,with about a 60% level
of confidence, you can place a function/procedure in the
body of a package without placing its definition in the
package's specification. If so, the function/procedure
should not be available when exectute is granted on the
package.

Hi friends,
One cannot grant execute privilege to a specific
procedure/function inside a
package, but only for all or nothing that is in that
package.
Anybody has an idea how this limitation can be overcomed.
One idea is to
create a separate stand-alone procedure that will just be a
wrapper around
the packaged procedure and call it. Any other ideas.
Thanks.
Djordje
