Agree, but there is more advantage than package-global variables
only. The Oracle PACKAGE:
- package is interface definition only and the real functions are
defined in PACKAGE BODY, it allows you change internal logic, but
interface is still same.
- package-global cursors
- package-global variables
- ??
Maybe PACKAGE can be in PostgreSQL implemented as special a little
extended schema (like sequence are special table) and we needn't think
about something new.
