Grant privileges for an Oracle package?

Question

I have a package A , which uses some variables and procedures in another package B in the same schema . Now I want to move package A to a new schema . What privileges should I grant to the new schema for using the package B same way? What is the grant statement for that ?

Answer 1

Use GRANT to give execute privileges

grant execute on PACKAGE_B to new_schema;

Then, you need to ensure that any reference in package A includes the full path:

PACKAGE_B.SOME_PROC

It might be worth creating a public synonym in for the package, so that you can avoid referencing the schema too.
