That will not work for packaged functions. The OP would either have to write the packaged function as a standalone function, write a standalone function to call the packaged function or alter the above query:

select 1
from user_source
where name = :packagename
and type = 'PACKAGE'
and lower(ltrim(text)) like 'function ' || lower(:functionname) || '%'; Received on Fri Jan 26 2007 - 10:53:47 CST
