This chapter discusses the following topics:

Requirements and Installation Notes for DEBUG_EXTPROC

Requirements

Your Oracle account must have EXECUTE privileges on the package and CREATE LIBRARY privileges.


Note:

DEBUG_EXTPROC works only on platforms with debuggers that can attach to a running process.


Installation Notes

To install the package, run the script DBGEXTP.SQL.

Using DEBUG_EXTPROC

Usage Assumptions

This assumes that the Listener has been appropriately configured to startup an external procedures 'extproc' agent.

This also assumes that you built your shared library with debug symbols to aid in the debugging process. Please check the C compiler manual pages for the appropriate C compiler switches to build the shared library with debug symbols.

Usage Notes

Because PL/SQL loads the shared library at runtime, the debugger you use may or may not automatically be able to track the new symbols from the shared library. You may have to issue some debugger command to load the symbols (for example, 'share' in gdb)
