Package, procedure, check routine

Question

Hi,
DB version: 11.2.0.3 EE
A basic question has arisen concerning a check routine in a package and/or procedure:
2 procedures exist and the parameters for both procedures are the same, however the business
logic in each proc is slightly different. The data is stored in one table with an identifier for each
business case. The check routine should run "in the background" after the user entered the
parameters.
Simplified example:
Base_table data with identifier 1 and 2
SQL queries are the same except for the where clauseBusiness case 1 (fetch data that has identifier 1)
Proc_1
p_1
p_2
p_3
p_4
...Business case 2 (fetch data that has identifier 2)
Proc_2
p_1
p_2
p_3
p_4
...Maybe this check routine could(should) be implemented in a package, package body that holds these procs?
Thanks for your feedback!

Answer 1

Hi,
the check routine can be implemented:
a) As it is now. Do you experience any problem in having 2 separate procedures?
b) In a package with 2 different procedures
c) In a package with 1 procedure having 1 additional parameter (identifier) which is driving the check routine accordingly
b) In one procedure having 1 additional parameter (identifier) which is driving the check routine accordingly
This is up to you to decide what fits better for your case. However from your question I did not understand if you expect any improvement or you want just do it for organizational issues.
By the way, I had a look at your profile. Why don't you think to close some of your open questions?
