Improving Productivity
The final two packages, OWA_UTIL and OWA_SEC, let you perform a variety of administrative and security-related tasks that help improve overall productivity.
OWA_UTIL: Creating Complex HTML Structures
The OWA_UTIL package is a grab-bag of useful procedures and functions that simplify many complex tasks. It contains procedures to query the web server environment, simplify debugging, change the default HTTP header, and simplify HTML development.
Table 7.15 shows the various functions and procedures contained in the OWA_UTIL package, which are grouped in categories in the following sections according to their uses.
Note
I’ve attempted to classify the OWA_UTIL procedures into broad, general categories (debugging, querying the environment, representing dates, etc.). These classifications reflect my own experience and are not intended to limit other possible uses.
