PLVcase: PL/SQL Code Conversion

The PLVcase (PL/Vision CASE) package converts the case of PL/SQL source code so that it conforms to the UPPER-lower method (reserved words in upper-case, application-specific identifiers in lower-case). See PLVcase and PLVcat: Converting and Analyzing PL/SQL Code for details.

Package constants

• c_usecor CONSTANT VARCHAR2(3) := 'COR';
• The constant used in calls to module (see below) to indicate that a CREATE OR REPLACE should be appended to the source code for the program unit.
• c_nousecor CONSTANT VARCHAR2(4) := 'NCOR';
• The constant used to tell module to not append the CREATE OR REPLACE to the program unit.

Case-converting programs

• FUNCTION token (token_in IN VARCHAR2, pkg_in IN VARCHAR2 := NULL)
• RETURN VARCHAR2;
• Converts the case of a single token according to the UPPER-lower method.
• PROCEDURE line
• (line_in IN OUT PLVio.line_type,
• line_out IN OUT PLVio.line_type,
• found_out OUT BOOLEAN);
• Converts the case of a single line of source code according to the UPPER-lower method (it calls PLVcase.token for each token in the string).
• FUNCTION string (string_in IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2;
• Converts the case of a string according to the UPPER-lower method. It formats the string as necessary for a call to the PLVcase.line procedure.
• PROCEDURE string (string_inout IN OUT VARCHAR2);
• Procedure version of the string function. It hands you back your own string variable with the case of the tokens converted.
• PROCEDURE module
• (module_in IN VARCHAR2,
• cor_in IN VARCHAR2 := c_usecor,
• last_module_in IN BOOLEAN := TRUE);
• Converts the case of a single program unit according to the UPPER-lower method.
• PROCEDURE modules (module_spec_in IN VARCHAR2 := NULL);
• Converts the case of multiple program units according to the UPPER-lower method.
