Hi Kurt, Michael, interesting question and also I was happy to find an answer. But unfortunately this did not work for me: 10.2.0.4 # Session 1 SQL> create package a 2 as 3 a char; 4 end; 5 / Package created. SQL> exec a.a:=1; PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. # Session 2 SQL> select * from v$code_object_in_use; no rows selected What I'm doing wrong?
