Can statements inside a package refer to database links

Question

Hi all
I was just curious to know, what will happen in this case
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY "TESTUSER"."TESTPKG" as
procedure testproc is
n number := 0;
begin
select count(*) into n from ps_tab@dblink;
end;
end testpkg;';
Is it valid to have dblink inside a package body?
Regards

RegardsSure it is. You can have a database link inside a package code. Moreover, you'll get the name of that database link in the REFERENCED_LINK_NAME column of the DBA_DEPENDENCIES view
