I have seen mention of something called SQL*Module which I think is what you describe. This is (sort of) documented in Appendix D of the PL/SQL manual but I can't find any trace of it in my 7.0.13 release. I think it must be a future (or it get left out by mistake or delays)!

I don't know whether it will be stand-alone, or part of the Procedural Option (or packaged some other way?).

    We have the technology.  The tricky bit is learning how to use it.
