bevat onder andere verbeterde overloading van numerieke types zoals:

-- Create package specification.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE numeric_overload_test AS
  PROCEDURE go (p_number  NUMBER);
  PROCEDURE go (p_number  BINARY_FLOAT);
  PROCEDURE go (p_number  BINARY_DOUBLE);
END;
/

-- Create package body.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY numeric_overload_test AS
  PROCEDURE go (p_number  NUMBER) AS
  BEGIN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Using NUMBER');
  END;

  PROCEDURE go (p_number  BINARY_FLOAT) AS
  BEGIN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Using BINARY_FLOAT');
  END;

  PROCEDURE go (p_number  BINARY_DOUBLE) AS
  BEGIN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Using BINARY_DOUBLE');
  END;
END;
/

-- Test it.
