I'm trying to create some stored procedures and notice that our Oracle db has several that are compressed & wrapped. It appears that this prevents me from reviewing the code/sql.

Is there a way around this & is this some method to protect the source code?

Once my stored procedure is finished, I might like to compress & wrap it. How is this done?
