11g Cached function feature alternative in 10g ?

Question

All:
I want to know if there is a feature or alternative that i could implement the 11g cached function sort of thing where i could share the data via passed parameters by reference of a cached object across sessions.
Thanks

Answer 1

It appears the Package variables and data are session specific and cannot be shared across sessions.
Yes... i'm sure !!!!!Sim,
package global variables are NOT shared accross sessions. The link you pointed to showed only that within the same session the variables may be shared.
Changing he session leads to reinitialized variables as a simple test reveals:
SQL> connect scott/tiger
Connected as SCOTT
SQL> begin
   owa.user_id := 'My User';
   dbms_output.put_line ('User: ' || owa.user_id);
end;
User: My User
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> connect scott/tiger
Connected as SCOTT
SQL> begin
   dbms_output.put_line ('User: ' || owa.user_id);
end;
User:
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
