Oracle PL/SQL
API Package Generator
Instantly generate a complete Oracle PL/SQL API package with INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE procedures — including exception handling — straight from your table definition.
Build Your API Package
Fill in your table details below. The Oracle PL/SQL API Generator will produce a ready-to-run package specification and body.
p_PKG_<TABLE>What is the Oracle PL/SQL API Generator?
The Oracle PL/SQL API Generator is a free, browser-based tool that creates a complete PL/SQL package — including the package specification and body — for any Oracle database table. By entering your table name, column list, and primary key, you instantly receive production-ready INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE procedures with proper exception handling, removing hours of repetitive boilerplate coding from your development workflow.
Whether you're building Oracle APEX applications, PL/SQL REST APIs, or database-driven
back-ends, this Oracle PL/SQL API Generator follows Oracle best practices: parameterised
DML, %TYPE anchored declarations, structured exception blocks, and
optional autonomous COMMIT control.
Package Spec & Body
Generates both the CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE specification and its corresponding body in a single click, ready to compile in SQL*Plus, SQL Developer, or Oracle APEX SQL Workshop.
Built-in Exception Handling
Every generated procedure includes a structured EXCEPTION block with DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX, NO_DATA_FOUND, and WHEN OTHERS handlers raising descriptive application errors.
Customisable Prefix & Naming
Specify your own parameter prefix (default p_) and package name convention to match your team's coding standards without manual find-and-replace.
Instant Copy & Paste
The one-click copy button puts the entire generated PL/SQL package on your clipboard, so you can paste straight into SQL Developer, VS Code, or Oracle APEX without any reformatting.
How to Use the PL/SQL API Generator
- 1
Enter Your Table Name
Type the Oracle table name in the Table Name field. You can optionally prefix with a schema, e.g.
HR.EMPLOYEES. The generator uses this for the DML statements and derives the default package name. - 2
List All Columns
Paste your comma-separated column list into the Table Columns field. Include every column you want the API to handle — the generator will use
%TYPEanchoring for each parameter. - 3
Specify the Primary Key Column
Enter the single primary key column in the Primary Key Column field. The DELETE procedure will use only this parameter; the UPDATE procedure uses it in the WHERE clause.
- 4
Set Options (Optional)
Customise the parameter prefix (default
p_), package name, and toggle COMMIT, ROLLBACK, and error-logging options to match your project standards. - 5
Generate & Copy
Click Generate PL/SQL API Package. Review the output, then hit Copy Code to send the complete package to your clipboard — ready to run in your Oracle environment.
Benefits of Using This Oracle PL/SQL API Generator
Save Hours of Boilerplate
Generating a fully structured PL/SQL package manually takes 30–60 minutes per table. This tool does it in seconds.
Oracle Best Practices Built-In
Anchored %TYPE declarations, named exceptions, and RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR follow Oracle PL/SQL conventions from day one.
Consistent Across Tables
Every generated package follows the same structure, making code reviews, maintenance, and onboarding dramatically easier across large schemas.
Great for Learning PL/SQL
Students and developers new to Oracle can use the generated code as a reference for proper package structure, DML, and error-handling patterns.
No Data Leaves Your Browser
All generation happens client-side in JavaScript. Your table names and column definitions are never sent to any server — your schema stays private.
Works with Oracle APEX
Generated packages slot directly into Oracle APEX application processes, validations, and dynamic actions without any modification.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Oracle versions does the generated PL/SQL support?
%TYPE anchors, RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR, and structured exception blocks — is part of standard PL/SQL available in every modern Oracle edition.Can I use this Oracle PL/SQL API Generator for tables with composite primary keys?
What does the parameter prefix do and what is the default?
p_, so a column called SALARY becomes parameter p_salary. Common alternatives include pi_ (parameter-in) or v_ (variable). Leave the field blank to use p_.Should I include COMMIT in my PL/SQL package procedures?
COMMIT is fine. If the procedures are called from a larger transaction or an Oracle APEX process that manages its own commit, uncheck the COMMIT option to let the caller control transaction boundaries — this is usually the safer approach in enterprise systems.How does the exception handling work in the generated package?
EXCEPTION block with handlers for the most common Oracle errors: DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX (unique constraint violation), NO_DATA_FOUND (update/delete on non-existent row), and a catch-all WHEN OTHERS that calls RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR with a descriptive message including SQLERRM. If ROLLBACK is enabled, it is called before re-raising the error.
