could we have something like schema scope variables which could be

Can someone give me some pointers on how to go about implementing this?
It seems more appropriate to me to store your values in a table
(variable name and value). I don't see any strong need for a
system-level facility for this.
Package variables are not transactional, additionaly they are
session based - each session has it's own variables(values).
You can assign initial(defult) values in package spec.
Using table for them would also imply several columns
for each datatype or several tables for them.
