Is there any equivalent for packages (Oracle) in MySQL

Question

I'm converting procedures from Oracle to MySQL. Is there any feature like packages in MySQL ? If it is not there, what is the substitute for packages in MySQL ?

Answer 1

Unfortunately there is no equivalent AFAIK.

See this MySQL bug : Bug #11696 - Please add CREATE MODULE syntax, or Oracle PACKAGE equivalent

Answer 2

Mysql supports stored procedures - the namespace of this is at the database level - there is no explicit support for creating namespaces at a lower level, and the '.' scope operator seeprates databases and objects.

So there is no equivalent entity in MySQL to an Oracle package.
