CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY bb_pack IS PROCEDURE upd_player_stat (
v_id IN NUMBER, v_ab IN NUMBER DEFAULT 4, v_hits IN NUMBER) IS
BEGIN
UPDATE PLAYER_BAT_STAT
SET at_bats = at_bats + v_ab, hits = hits + v_hits
WHERE player_id = v_id);
COMMIT;

BEGIN
INSERT
INTO player(id,last_name,salary)
VALUES (v_id, v_last_name, v_salary); upd_player_stat(v_id,0.0);
END add_player;
END bb_pack;
Which statement will successfully assign $75,000,000 to the V_MAX_TEAM_SALARY variable from within a stand-alone procedure?
A. V_MAX_TEAM_SALARY := 7500000;
B. BB_PACK.ADD_PLAYER.V_MAX_TEAM_SALARY := 75000000;
C. BB_PACK.V_MAX_TEAM_SALARY := 75000000;
D. This variable cannot be assigned a value from outside the package.
Answer: C To assign a value for a public variable which is declared in the package header, all what you have to do is do user the following syntax package_name.var_name:=value;
QUESTION 4
There is a CUSTOMER table in a schema that has a public synonym CUSTOMER and you are granted all object privileges on it. You have a procedure PROCESS_CUSTOMER that processes customer information that is in the public synonym CUSTOMER table. You have just created a new table called CUSTOMER within your schema. Which statement is true?
A. Creating the table has no effect and procedure PROCESS_CUSTOMER still accesses data from public synonym CUSTOMER table.
B. If the structure of your CUSTOMER table is the same as the public synonym CUSTOMER table then the procedure PROCESS_CUSTOMER is invalidated and gives compilation errors.
C. If the structure of your CUSTOMER table is entirely different from the public synonym CUSTOMER table then the procedure PROCESS_CUSTOMER successfully recompiles and accesses your CUSTOMER table.
D. If the structure of your CUSTOMER table is the same as the public synonym CUSTOMER table then the procedure PROCESS_CUSTOMER successfully recompiles when invoked and accesses your CUSTOMER table.
Answer: D The procedure will first look in the owner of the procedure schema before looking for the public synonym.
