simple PLSQL (oracle) syntax question

I have this statement:

SELECT passwdlib.piv_insertPasswd(:A1, :A开发者_运维百科2) 
  FROM DUAL

I am guessing that piv_insertPasswd is the name of function or SP, and passwdlib is the user name. Am i right? If not what is each component?

passwdlib could be a package name. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10500_01/appdev.920/a96624/09_packs.htm

Otherwise, it's a schema name.

It is more likely that passwdlib is the package name, and that piv_insertPasswd is the name of the function within the package.

Schema, package, object, synonym.

select object_type
from   user_objects uo
where  uo.OBJECT_NAME = 'PASSWDLIB'

select typecode
from   user_types ut
where  ut.type_name = 'PASSWDLIB'

select *
from   USER_METHOD_PARAMS um
where  um.type_name = 'PASSWDLIB'

2° section: added after the post was marked as answered. I think the correct method in this case is to query the dictionary, without it we only try to guess!

Test the object option.

CREATE TYPE TPerson AS OBJECT (
  idno           NUMBER,
  first_name     VARCHAR2(20),
  last_name      VARCHAR2(25),
  email          VARCHAR2(25),
  phone          VARCHAR2(20),

  static FUNCTION getDetails  return varchar2);
/

create type body TPerson as

    static function getDetails return varchar2 is
    begin           
        return 'I am TPerson type ';
    end;
end;
/

select TPerson.getDetails() from dual;

Output

 select TPerson.getDetails() from dual;  

 TPERSON.GETDETAILS()

 I am TPerson type
