What is a bodiless package?
Rating:
A package specification that does not need a package body is called a bodiless package. Only subprogram and cursor declarations in a package specification require an underlying implementation in the package body. If a package specification declares only those package constructs that do not require implementation details (e.g., types, constants, variables, exceptions, and call specifications), the corresponding package body does not need to be created. However, the body can be created to initialize constructs declared in the package specification.
