    does the package actually exist - did you create it in the database?

    Try select owner, object_type from all_objects where object_name='ER_ARCH'; or just desc ERARCH.ER_ARCH.

    If I type in delete press enter and then try to do something different sqlplus will think that the second thing I wanted to do related to the delete command. Commands in sqlplus are terminated with a / or ;.

    hmm..it does not seem to be locating the procedure. is there a specify path i need to put the script at? at the moment, i am just putting in for example, /orcl/erarch and from there i login to sqlplus.

    SQL> select owner, object_type from all_objects where object_name='ER_ARCH'
    2 ;

    no rows selected

    SQL> desc ERARCH.ER_ARCH
    ERROR:
    ORA-04043: object ERARCH.ER_ARCH does not exist

    So it might exist, but you don't have execute privilege on it. Do you have a dba that could help you run this? You mist otherwise how would you get the database?

    i am the having the database (installed and controlled by me entirely) in my laptop with two sql script that has the procedure.

    i granted the execution priviledge to sys. i am connected with sqlplus / as sysdba;

    and from there i am executing the package and gave me the error below. i know the scripts work because it is in production now.
