Hi Raseena,
It is possible to recompile the package specification and the body together, and you can also recompile the specification alone but it has two outcomes:
1) if you change the package specification than your package body is rendered invalid and thus should be recompiled. If you have not made any changes to the signature of the method and have not added any new unit then your package body even if rendered invalid will not pose the problem because on calling it will be recompiled automatically.
2) If you make some changes in your package specification like adding a procedure or function or changing the signatures of the already existing procedure body will not be recompiled successfully and will throw and error.
So u shud always recompile the package body when you recompile the procedure. But vice-a- versa is not the cae. You can recompile package body without making Package specification invalid, because package body has a dependency on package specification but package specification does not have dependency on package body.
You can see the behaviour in user_dependencies.
Any doubts revert back.
