DBMS_DEFER_QUERY: Performing Diagnostics and Maintenance
Occasionally, you may want to see details about deferred RPCs in the queue, such as what procedure and parameters are used. The DBMS_DEFER_QUERY package contains procedures to display this data.
Getting Started with DBMS_DEFER_QUERY
The DBMS_REPCAT_QUERY package is created when the Oracle database is installed. The dbmsdefr.sql script (found in the built-in packages source directory, as described in Chapter 1) contains the source code for this package’s specification. This script is called by catrep.sql , which must be run to install the advanced replication packages. The wrapped sql script prvtrctf.sql creates the public synonym DBMS_REPCAT_QUERY. No EXECUTE privileges are granted on DBMS_REPCAT_QUERY; only the owner (SYS) and those with the EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE system privilege may execute the package.
