not true . Oracle can still phase out even frequently used packages in favor of 
cursors.
A startup trigger is the way and actually I use an oracle utility from MOS 
Toolkit for dynamic marking of Library Cache objects as Kept (PIND) [ID 
301171.1] It is  a very useful utility to automatically detect objects and  
mark 
them for pinned prior to shutdown and then pin them after startup.

Maybe I’m missing something here, so comments are welcome.    If these 6 to 8 
are used frequently, then they will never page out from the LRU list no?  so in 
essence will always be in memory, (or at least almost all of the time).
 
So….  are we not complicating something that is essentially not needed?

Subject: Pinning Packages on the shared pool
 
Lists,
 
Our appliction team has requested (as per vendor's recommendations), to pin the 
frequently used packages (around 6 to 8 packages) on the shared pool. We 
thought 
of pinning the packages using the DB Startup trigger, so every time DB recyles, 
those packages gets included on the memory. Is there any other better way of 
handling this rather than using the startu trigger. Any advice is highly 
appreciated.
 
Thank you,
Prabhu
