Title: Identify persistent states in package variables and cursors.
Course: Database Design and Management with PL/SQL (Oracle) (10053) > Section: Designing Packages

Identification should include

- package variables—identifying when the package state is initialized, determining the duration that the package state is persistent
- package cursors—identifying when the package state is initialized, describing whether the cursor is opened or closed; if open, describe the number of rows that were fetched by the cursor.
