OPM

Oracle Database Package Manager

Introduction

OPM is an online repository and framework for the publishing, discovery, installation, version and dependency management of Oracle PL/SQL projects (modules).

It's what NPM is to NodeJS or PIP to Python.

Key features

• Discover - Find a PL/SQL module that fits your needs in an online repository
• Install - Automatic installation with one command: No downloads, unpacking and running command line tools like SQL*Plus
• Versioning - Each release of a module has an unique version number for compability and dependency tracking
• Dependency resolver - Automatically install all dependant modules. Avoid compability issues when using multiple modules.
• Update - One command to automatically update to an installed module
• Uninstall - One command to uninstall a module
• Publish - Create and publish your own PL/SQL projects as modules in an online repository

Requirements:

• Oracle Database version XX and above. It could be any edition including the free Express Edition or Oracle Cloud Always Free Autonomous Database.
