how can i check if a procedure exists in a certain database version
926122May 17 2012 — edited May 18 2012So today i became really frustrated after noticing that the Oracle SQL version on some computer I needed to work on was 10.1. The problem with that was that I needed a procedure called "xmlserialize". I browsed the documentation for it, but I didn't see anything like "since 11.0" or something similar.
So.. how can I see what is the first Oracle SQL version that supported some procedure?
For example, when I check a class definition for Java, I consult the javadoc :
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/math/BigInteger.html
and there there's a field called "Since". For BigInteger ( it's just an example ), it says "Since: JDK1.1", so I know that if I'm using a JDK version earlier that 1.1, I won't have that class.
Is there some similar information for Oracle procedures/ functions/ features/ etc?
