Oracle SQL Developer accessing SYS packages with a different schema


Using Oracle SQL Developer I'm trying to access a given package that has been created by SYS and in which the, say, FOO schema has EXECUTE and DEBUG permissions, in fact executing a desc will produce the following output:

desc SYS.PKG_MY_PACKAGE

PROCEDURE      Argument Name Type     IN/OUT Default 
-------------- ------------- -------- ------ ------- 
PRC_MY_PROCESS P_MY_ARGUMENT VARCHAR2 IN     unknown 

The problem is such package is not visible under Connections > My Connection > Packages.

Any feedback will be sincerely appreciated. Thanks much in advance.


Solution

  • The only way I've found to do this is to select "Other Users" under My Connection, expand the SYS user, and go to Packages in there.

    IOW,

    Connections > MyConnection > Other Users > SYS > Packages
