How to check if a stored procedure exist?

Question

I have searched the net and I\'ve found a post that uses the following snippet to check if a stored procedure exists:

select * 
  from USER_SOURCE 
 where ty         


        

Answer 1

Something that worked for me!

SELECT text
FROM all_source
WHERE name = 'MY_SP_NAME'
ORDER BY line;

Alternatively you can try calling SP like this:

CALL MY_SP_NAME();

You might end up error like this, but that confirms you have SP defined there:

OCI Statement Execution failure.ORA-06553: PLS-306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'MY_SP_NAME'
