Two possibilities:
1. At one time, the limit on the size of compiled code
(functions, packages, procedures) was pretty low.
This *might* be your problem, but, I think the following
might be a better explanation.
2. Packages contain the Package Spec and the Package Body.
It is possible to compile the package spec, get the "PACKAGE
CREATED SUCCESSFULLY"
message, then realize that your forgot to actually execute the
package BODY create code.
You are led to believe that the package was successfully
CREATED, but only the HEADER (SPEC) changed,
not the ACTUAL CODE. This bites most people when they're in
SQL*Plus, since it requires you to
run code blocks with the "/" run command.
Check if you have the "/" run commands after BOTH the package
SPEC
as well as the package BODY definition. You should look for
messages:
"PACKAGE CREATED"
"PACKAGE BODY CREATED"
among the return messages. Without the latter, you would
experience the trouble you have described.
Hope this helps!
