Subject: RE: Remove numbers from string
Sigh. There are way too many packages in Oracle. Thanks Jared. I have
to
share this with a developer struggling to write some parsing functions.
I'll take back all the bad reviews I posted on bookpool.com about your

No, I checked on my 8.1.7.3 database first, and it's there.
I don't have app server installed. I have the source to
the package anyway. Don't know if it's wrapped now
or not, but I don't think so...
Nope, not wrapped:
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/pubpat.sql
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/privpat.sql
