3.1EA1: Database Diff Package Body

Question

I've had some problems when comparing package bodies.
1. Sometimes two or more lines in package bodies are combined into one in the DDL and script tabs of the comparison pane in the difference report.
2. Sometimes differences in package bodies are missed completely. When this happens, the package body text shown in both sides of the DDL tab of the comparison pane are from the same connection.

Answer 1

Turns out the consequences of the first problem (merging lines) I mentioned can be severe. The problem occurs when a line ends with a single quotation mark as in the following contrived example.
CREATE PACKAGE b AS END;
CREATE PACKAGE BODY b AS
    v       --'
    INTEGER --'
    :=      --'
    1;      --'
END;
/The difference process produces the following:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY "B" AS
    v       --'    INTEGER --'    :=      --'    1;      --'END;/That ends up in the final script as well which means the script will fail upon execution.
