Unable to find procedure in DBA_PROCEDURES view - oracle

Question

I have created a procedure :
create or replace procedure gg as
begin
insert into book values ('prashant','prashant','prashant');
commit;
end;
/
Procedure has been created successfully.Now i want to check the package name for the corresponding procedure but i am not able to do so.
I am using the below query :
> SELECT *
FROM SYS.DBA_PROCEDURES
WHERE procedure_name ='gg';
Its giving 0 rows selected.Please help.

Answer 1

NOTE Please look at the UPDATE section for correct answer.
The procedure name cannot be in lower case in the DBA_PROCEDURES view. Use upper case, or apply UPPER function.
SELECT *
FROM SYS.DBA_PROCEDURES
WHERE procedure_name ='GG';
UPDATE
The only case when you could have the name in lower case is if you enclose it within double-quotation marks while compiling.
For example,
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE
2 PROCEDURE "p"
3 AS
4 BEGIN
5 NULL;
6 END;
7 /
Procedure created.
SQL> SELECT object_name, procedure_name, object_type FROM user_procedures where procedure_name='p';
no rows selected
SQL>
But still the above view will not return any result for PROCEDURE_NAME.
Reason
PROCEDURE_NAME column will only have the procedure name for the procedures which are part of a PACKAGE. For STAND ALONE PROCEDURES you need to use OBJECT_NAME.
SQL> -- stand alone procedure in lower case
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE
2 PROCEDURE "p"
3 AS
4 BEGIN
5 NULL;
6 END;
7 /
Procedure created.
SQL>
SQL> -- package
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE
2 PACKAGE test_p
3 IS
4 PROCEDURE p;
5 END test_p;
6 /
Package created.
SQL>
SQL> -- package body with a procedure
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE
2 PACKAGE BODY test_p
3 IS
4 PROCEDURE p
5 IS
6 BEGIN
7 NULL;
8 END;
9 END test_p;
10 /
Package body created.
SQL>
SQL> SELECT object_name, procedure_name, object_type FROM user_procedures;
OBJECT_NAME PROCEDURE_NAME OBJECT_TYPE
--------------- --------------- ---------------
TEST_P P PACKAGE
p PROCEDURE
TEST_P PACKAGE
SQL>
So, as you can see, the procedure_name is only having the package's procedure, however the stand-alone procedure is only listed under object_name.

Answer 2

The query I use is:
SELECT * FROM User_Procedures WHERE NVL(Procedure_Name,Object_Name) = 'PROCNAME';
