+# Background
+
+This project is a work of [IvorySQL](https://github.com/IvorySQL/IvorySQL). Changes can be reviewed by comparing HEAD with upstream/master.
+
+
+# Build Instructions
+
+## Git Commit Policy (MANDATORY)
+
+**Commit message format:**
+```
+<type>: <short description>
+
+[optional body explaining why/what changed]
+```
+
+**RULES:**
+- NO "Generated with Claude Code" footer
+- NO "Co-Authored-By: Claude" line
+- NO mention of "Claude" or "Happy" anywhere
+- Keep messages short (1-5 lines preferred)
+- Types: feat, fix, refactor, chore, docs, build, test
+
+## Git Branch Convention (IMPORTANT)
+
+- `master` should be based on upstream/master and match origin
+- `test/dev-container` is upstream/master plus docker-compose for dev-containers and CLAUDE.md
+- `test/*` should be based on `test/dev-container` plus commits for a single feature
+- `feat/*` should be based on upstream/master, plus commits cherry-picked from `test/*` for submitting pull requests to upstream
+
+When you want to test something and noticed you don't see containers, verify the active branch you're on.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. **Start the development container**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose up -d
+   ```
+
+2. **Configure the build**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose exec dev ./configure --prefix=/home/ivorysql/ivorysql --enable-debug --enable-cassert --with-uuid=e2fs --with-libxml
+   ```
+
+3. **Build the project**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose exec dev make -j4
+   ```
+
+4. **Install the build**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose exec dev make install
+   ```
+
+## Build Verification (CRITICAL)
+
+**ALWAYS verify that installed files are newer than source files after `make install`.**
+
+The build system may not rebuild files if timestamps are stale. After `make install`, verify:
+
+```bash
+# Check if binary is newer than source
+docker compose exec dev stat -c "%Y %n" /home/ivorysql/ivorysql/bin/<binary> /home/ivorysql/IvorySQL/src/<path>/<source>.c
+
+# Check if installed extension SQL is updated
+docker compose exec dev grep "<expected_content>" /home/ivorysql/ivorysql/share/postgresql/extension/<file>.sql
+```
+
+**If installed files are older than source:**
+1. Use `touch` on source files to update timestamps
+2. Or run `make clean` in the specific subdirectory before rebuilding
+3. Then run `make && make install` again
+
+**Example - rebuilding initdb:**
+```bash
+docker compose exec dev bash -c "cd /home/ivorysql/IvorySQL/src/bin/initdb && make clean && make && make install"
+```
+
+**Example - reinstalling an extension SQL file:**
+```bash
+docker compose exec dev bash -c "cd /home/ivorysql/IvorySQL/src/pl/plisql/src && rm -f /home/ivorysql/ivorysql/share/postgresql/extension/plisql--1.0.sql && make install"
+```
+
+## Debugging with GDB
+
+The dev container includes gdb with ptrace enabled.
+
+**Debug initdb:**
+```bash
+docker compose exec dev bash -c "
+export PATH=/home/ivorysql/IvorySQL/tmp_install/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/bin:\$PATH
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ivorysql/IvorySQL/tmp_install/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/lib:\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+rm -rf /tmp/testdb
+gdb -ex 'break main' -ex 'run -D /tmp/testdb' initdb
+"
+```
+
+**Debug postgres backend:**
+```bash
+# Start server, then attach to a backend process
+docker compose exec dev bash -c "
+export PATH=/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/bin:\$PATH
+gdb -p <backend_pid>
+"
+```
+
+## Test Framework Overview
+
+IvorySQL uses **pg_regress** (PostgreSQL's regression test framework) with multiple test suites:
+
+### Test Suites
+
+1. **PostgreSQL Compatibility Tests** (`src/test/regress/`)
+   - **Runner**: `pg_regress`
+   - Tests standard PostgreSQL features
+
+2. **Oracle Compatibility Tests** (`src/oracle_test/regress/`)
+   - **Runner**: `ora_pg_regress`
+   - **Key tests**:
+     - `ora_plisql.sql` - PL/iSQL language tests
+     - `ora_package.sql` - Oracle package tests
+
+3. **PL/iSQL Language Tests** (`src/pl/plisql/src/`)
+   - Tests PL/iSQL procedural language internals
+   - **Examples**: `plisql_array`, `plisql_control`, `plisql_dbms_output`, etc.
+   - Command: `cd src/pl/plisql/src && make oracle-check`
+
+4. **Oracle Extension Tests** (`contrib/ivorysql_ora/`)
+   - Tests Oracle compatibility packages (DBMS_UTILITY, datatypes, functions)
+   - Test files: `sql/*.sql` and expected outputs in `expected/*.out`
+   - Tests defined in `ORA_REGRESS` variable in Makefile
+   - Command: `cd contrib/ivorysql_ora && make installcheck`
+
+### Test Pattern
+
+All tests follow the same pattern:
+1. SQL input files in `sql/` directory
+2. Expected outputs in `expected/` directory (`.out` files)
+3. Runner executes SQL and compares actual vs expected output
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# PostgreSQL tests
+docker compose exec dev make check
+
+# Oracle compatibility tests
+docker compose exec dev make oracle-check
+
+# Both test suites
+docker compose exec dev make all-check
+
+# Specific contrib module (e.g., ivorysql_ora)
+docker compose exec dev bash -c "cd contrib/ivorysql_ora && make installcheck"
+
+# PL/iSQL language tests
+docker compose exec dev bash -c "cd src/pl/plisql/src && make oracle-check"
+```
+
+### Adding New Tests
+
+**For Oracle packages (like DBMS_UTILITY):**
+1. Create `contrib/ivorysql_ora/sql/<testname>.sql`
+2. Create `contrib/ivorysql_ora/expected/<testname>.out`
+3. Add `<testname>` to `ORA_REGRESS` in `contrib/ivorysql_ora/Makefile`
+4. Run `make installcheck` to verify
+
+## Manual Testing with Oracle Compatibility
+
+When you need to test SQL manually (e.g., testing PL/iSQL packages):
+
+1. **Initialize a test database in Oracle mode**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose exec dev bash -c "
+   export PATH=/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/bin:\$PATH
+   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/lib:\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+   cd /home/ivorysql
+   rm -rf test_oracle
+   initdb -D test_oracle --auth=trust -m oracle
+   "
+   ```
+
+2. **Start the database server**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose exec dev bash -c "
+   export PATH=/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/bin:\$PATH
+   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/lib:\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+   pg_ctl -D /home/ivorysql/test_oracle -l /home/ivorysql/test_oracle/logfile start
+   "
+   ```
+
+   **Note:** Oracle mode servers listen on **both ports**:
+   - Port 5432 (PostgreSQL default)
+   - Port 1521 (Oracle default)
+
+3. **Create a test database**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose exec dev bash -c "
+   export PATH=/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/bin:\$PATH
+   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/lib:\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+   createdb testdb
+   "
+   ```
+
+4. **Connect and test (use Oracle port 1521)**
+   ```bash
+   # Interactive connection
+   docker compose exec dev bash -c "
+   export PATH=/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/bin:\$PATH
+   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/lib:\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+   psql -h localhost -p 1521 -d testdb
+   "
+
+   # Run a SQL file
+   docker compose exec dev bash -c "
+   export PATH=/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/bin:\$PATH
+   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/lib:\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+   psql -h localhost -p 1521 -d testdb -f /path/to/your/file.sql
+   "
+   ```
+
+5. **Stop the test server when done**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose exec dev bash -c "
+   export PATH=/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/bin:\$PATH
+   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ivorysql/ivorysql/lib:\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+   pg_ctl -D /home/ivorysql/test_oracle stop -m fast
+   "
+   ```
+
+**Important:** Always use port **1521** when testing Oracle PL/SQL compatibility features (packages, PL/iSQL procedures, etc.)
+
+## Testing Against Real Oracle Database
+
+A real Oracle Database Free container is available for validating Oracle compatibility.
+
+### Container Information
+
+- **Container name:** `ivorysql-oracle-1`
+- **Image:** `container-registry.oracle.com/database/free:23.26.0.0-lite`
+- **Version:** Oracle 23.26 Free
+- **Status:** Optional; requires `--profile ora` flag to start
+- **Memory:** Requires minimum 3GB RAM
+
+**IMPORTANT - Check before starting:**
+The Oracle container requires 3GB+ RAM. Multiple git worktrees can share one instance.
+**ALWAYS** check for existing Oracle containers before starting a new one:
+```bash
+docker ps --filter "ancestor=container-registry.oracle.com/database/free:23.26.0.0-lite"
+```
+If an Oracle container is already running, use `docker exec` to connect to it directly. Do NOT start another instance.
+
+**Starting the Oracle container (only if none exists):**
+```bash
+docker compose --profile ora up -d
+```
+
+### Connecting to Oracle
+
+**Interactive SQL*Plus session:**
+```bash
+docker exec -it ivorysql-oracle-1 sqlplus / as sysdba
+```
+
+**Run SQL from command line:**
+```bash
+docker exec ivorysql-oracle-1 bash -c "echo 'SELECT * FROM dual;' | sqlplus -s / as sysdba"
+```
+
+**Run inline SQL script:**
+```bash
+docker exec ivorysql-oracle-1 bash -c "cat << 'EOF' | sqlplus -s / as sysdba
+SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
+DECLARE
+  result NUMBER;
+BEGIN
+  SELECT (100 - 50) * 0.01 INTO result FROM dual;
+  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Result: ' || result);
+END;
+/
+EXIT;
+EOF
+"
+```

+# DBMS_UTILITY Architecture
+
+## Context
+
+IvorySQL is implementing Oracle-compatible DBMS packages. This document describes the architectural decisions for DBMS_UTILITY implementation.
+
+## Implementation Summary
+
+**DBMS_UTILITY** is the **first** built-in Oracle DBMS package in IvorySQL.
+
+**Location:** `src/pl/plisql/src/` (part of PL/iSQL extension)
+
+**Files:**
+- `pl_dbms_utility.c` - C implementation of FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE
+- `pl_exec.c` - Session-level exception context storage and retrieval API
+- `plisql.h` - Function declaration export
+- `plisql--1.0.sql` - Package definition (CREATE PACKAGE)
+
+**Functions Implemented:**
+- `FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE` - Returns Oracle-formatted call stack during exception handling
+
+## Architecture Decision
+
+**Decision:** DBMS_UTILITY lives entirely in `src/pl/plisql/src/` as part of the PL/iSQL extension.
+
+**Rationale:**
+1. FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE needs access to PL/iSQL exception context
+2. Keeping it in `plisql` avoids cross-module dependencies
+3. `plisql` and `ivorysql_ora` remain independent modules (upstream design)
+4. Package is available immediately after `CREATE EXTENSION plisql`
+
+### Module Structure
+
+IvorySQL has two independent modules:
+
+1. **PL/iSQL Language Runtime** (`src/pl/plisql/src/` → `plisql.so`)
+   - PL/iSQL procedural language implementation
+   - **Now includes:** DBMS_UTILITY package (for functions needing PL/iSQL internals)
+
+2. **Oracle Compatibility Extension** (`contrib/ivorysql_ora/` → `ivorysql_ora.so`)
+   - Oracle-compatible datatypes and functions
+   - Independent of PL/iSQL internals
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Exception Context Storage
+
+The key challenge is accessing exception context from a C function that's called from PL/iSQL package body.
+
+**Solution:** Session-level storage in `pl_exec.c`
+
+```c
+// pl_exec.c - Static session storage
+static char *plisql_current_exception_context = NULL;
+
+// When entering exception handler (in exec_stmt_block):
+if (edata->context)
+{
+    plisql_current_exception_context =
+        MemoryContextStrdup(TopMemoryContext, edata->context);
+}
+
+// When exiting exception handler:
+if (plisql_current_exception_context)
+{
+    pfree(plisql_current_exception_context);
+    plisql_current_exception_context = NULL;
+}
+
+// Public API for retrieval
+const char *
+plisql_get_current_exception_context(void)
+{
+    return plisql_current_exception_context;
+}
+```
+
+**Why this approach:**
+1. Exception context is stored when entering handler (before user code runs)
+2. C function can retrieve it via public API without accessing `PLiSQL_execstate`
+3. Context is cleared after exception handling completes
+4. Memory allocated in `TopMemoryContext` survives function calls
+
+### C Function Implementation
+
+`pl_dbms_utility.c` transforms PostgreSQL error context to Oracle format:
+
+```c
+// Input (PostgreSQL format):
+"PL/iSQL function test_level3() line 3 at RAISE"
+"SQL statement \"CALL test_level3()\""
+"PL/iSQL function test_level2() line 3 at CALL"
+
+// Output (Oracle format):
+"ORA-06512: at \"PUBLIC.TEST_LEVEL3\", line 3\n"
+"ORA-06512: at \"PUBLIC.TEST_LEVEL2\", line 3\n"
+```
+
+Key transformations:
+- Skip "SQL statement" lines
+- Extract function name and line number from "PL/iSQL function" lines
+- Convert to uppercase for Oracle compatibility
+- Handle anonymous blocks (`inline_code_block` → `at line N`)
+
+### Package Definition
+
+`plisql--1.0.sql`:
+
+```sql
+-- C function wrapper
+CREATE FUNCTION sys.ora_format_error_backtrace() RETURNS TEXT
+  AS 'MODULE_PATHNAME', 'ora_format_error_backtrace'
+  LANGUAGE C VOLATILE STRICT;
+
+-- Package specification
+CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE dbms_utility IS
+  FUNCTION FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE RETURN TEXT;
+END dbms_utility;
+
+-- Package body (calls C function)
+CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY dbms_utility IS
+  FUNCTION FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE RETURN TEXT IS
+  BEGIN
+    RETURN sys.ora_format_error_backtrace();
+  END;
+END dbms_utility;
+```
+
+**Note:** The extension SQL uses Oracle package syntax directly. The `CREATE EXTENSION plisql` runs in Oracle mode context (set by initdb.c's `load_plisql()`).
+
+### initdb.c Integration
+
+```c
+// In load_plisql():
+PG_CMD_PUTS("SET ivorysql.identifier_case_from_pg_dump TO true;\n");
+PG_CMD_PUTS("CREATE EXTENSION plisql;\n");
+```
+
+The extension loads in Oracle mode context during `initdb -m oracle`.
+
+## Guidelines for Future DBMS Packages
+
+| Package Needs | Location |
+|--------------|----------|
+| PL/iSQL internals (exception context, call stack, etc.) | `src/pl/plisql/src/` |
+| Only Oracle datatypes, no PL/iSQL internals | `contrib/ivorysql_ora/` |
+| Both PL/iSQL internals AND Oracle types | Split: C in plisql, SQL wrapper in ivorysql_ora |
+
+## Testing
+
+Regression tests in `src/pl/plisql/src/sql/dbms_utility.sql` cover:
+- Basic exception handling
+- Nested procedure calls (3+ levels deep)
+- Function calls
+- Anonymous blocks
+- No exception context (returns NULL)
+- Re-raised exceptions
+- Package procedures
+- Schema-qualified calls
+
+Run tests: `cd src/pl/plisql/src && make oracle-check`
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+- ✅ Architecture decision documented
+- ✅ C function in `pl_dbms_utility.c`
+- ✅ Session storage API in `pl_exec.c`
+- ✅ Package definition in `plisql--1.0.sql`
+- ✅ Regression tests (9 test cases)
+- ✅ All plisql oracle-check tests passing

+# Cross-Module Dependency Analysis
+
+## The Problem
+
+DBMS_UTILITY's `FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE` needs PL/iSQL exception context. This document analyzes the dependency problem and the chosen solution.
+
+## Module Structure
+
+IvorySQL has two independent modules:
+
+```
+src/pl/plisql/src/          →  plisql.so (language runtime)
+contrib/ivorysql_ora/       →  ivorysql_ora.so (Oracle compatibility)
+```
+
+**Upstream design:** These modules have NO cross-dependencies.
+
+## The Challenge
+
+```
+User SQL:
+  DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE
+
+↓ Needs access to
+
+PL/iSQL Exception Context:
+  - Error message and context string
+  - Call stack information
+  - Only available inside exception handler
+```
+
+## Why Cross-Module Dependency Is Bad
+
+If `ivorysql_ora.so` included `plisql.h`:
+
+1. **Layering Violation:** Extension depends on language internals
+2. **Encapsulation Break:** Internal structures exposed
+3. **Maintenance Burden:** Changes to PL/iSQL break extension
+4. **Binary Compatibility:** Version coupling between shared libraries
+
+## Solution: Keep It In PL/iSQL
+
+**Decision:** Implement DBMS_UTILITY entirely in `src/pl/plisql/src/`
+
+### Implementation Approach
+
+Instead of accessing `PLiSQL_execstate` directly from a C function, use session-level storage:
+
+```c
+// pl_exec.c - Session storage
+static char *plisql_current_exception_context = NULL;
+
+// Store context when entering exception handler
+// (in exec_stmt_block, within PG_CATCH block)
+if (edata->context)
+{
+    plisql_current_exception_context =
+        MemoryContextStrdup(TopMemoryContext, edata->context);
+}
+
+// Public API for retrieval
+const char *
+plisql_get_current_exception_context(void)
+{
+    return plisql_current_exception_context;
+}
+```
+
+### Why This Works
+
+1. **Exception handler stores context:** When PL/iSQL catches an exception, it saves the context string in session storage before user code runs.
+
+2. **C function retrieves via API:** The `ora_format_error_backtrace()` function calls `plisql_get_current_exception_context()` - a simple public API.
+
+3. **No direct struct access:** The C function doesn't need to know about `PLiSQL_execstate` internals.
+
+4. **Clean memory management:** Context stored in `TopMemoryContext`, cleared when exiting handler.
+
+### Data Flow
+
+```
+1. Exception occurs in PL/iSQL code
+   ↓
+2. PL/iSQL catches exception (PG_CATCH in exec_stmt_block)
+   ↓
+3. Context stored: plisql_current_exception_context = edata->context
+   ↓
+4. User's EXCEPTION block runs
+   ↓
+5. User calls DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE
+   ↓
+6. Package body calls sys.ora_format_error_backtrace()
+   ↓
+7. C function calls plisql_get_current_exception_context()
+   ↓
+8. Returns stored context string
+   ↓
+9. C function transforms to Oracle format
+   ↓
+10. Exception handler exits, context cleared
+```
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative: Public API in PL/iSQL (Not Chosen)
+
+Export exception context via SQL-callable function:
+
+```c
+// plisql.so exports:
+PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(plisql_get_exception_context);
+
+// ivorysql_ora.so calls:
+DirectFunctionCall0(plisql_get_exception_context);
+```
+
+**Why not chosen:** More complex, still requires coordination between modules. Simpler to keep everything in one place.
+
+### Alternative: Use Core PostgreSQL Error System (Not Chosen)
+
+Access `ErrorData` from PostgreSQL's elog.c instead of PL/iSQL.
+
+**Why not chosen:** The error context string with PL/iSQL procedure names and line numbers is only available through PL/iSQL's exception handling.
+
+## Final Architecture
+
+```
+src/pl/plisql/src/
+├── pl_exec.c               ← Exception context storage + API
+├── pl_dbms_utility.c       ← Format transformation
+├── plisql.h                ← API declaration
+└── plisql--1.0.sql         ← Package definition
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ No cross-module dependency
+- ✅ Self-contained in PL/iSQL
+- ✅ Clean public API (`plisql_get_current_exception_context`)

+# IvorySQL Built-in Oracle Packages
+
+## Summary
+
+As of November 2025, IvorySQL upstream has **ZERO** built-in Oracle DBMS packages.
+
+**DBMS_UTILITY** is the **first** Oracle-compatible DBMS package implemented for IvorySQL.
+
+## Current State
+
+### Upstream IvorySQL
+
+IvorySQL provides:
+- ✅ Oracle package syntax (CREATE PACKAGE, package spec/body)
+- ✅ Oracle-compatible datatypes (VARCHAR2, NUMBER, DATE, etc.)
+- ✅ Oracle-compatible functions (NVL, DECODE, TO_CHAR, etc.)
+- ❌ No built-in DBMS packages
+
+### This Implementation
+
+**DBMS_UTILITY** (first package):
+- Location: `src/pl/plisql/src/` (part of PL/iSQL extension)
+- Functions: FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE ✅
+- Status: Implemented and tested
+
+## Comparison with Oracle
+
+Oracle Database provides 100+ built-in DBMS packages. Common ones:
+
+| Package | Oracle | IvorySQL |
+|---------|--------|----------|
+| DBMS_OUTPUT | ✅ | ✅ (via plisql) |
+| DBMS_UTILITY | ✅ | 🚧 1 function |
+| DBMS_RANDOM | ✅ | ❌ |
+| DBMS_SQL | ✅ | ❌ |
+| DBMS_LOB | ✅ | ❌ |
+| DBMS_SCHEDULER | ✅ | ❌ |
+
+## Architecture Pattern
+
+DBMS_UTILITY establishes the pattern for future packages:
+
+| Package Needs | Location |
+|--------------|----------|
+| PL/iSQL internals | `src/pl/plisql/src/` |
+| Oracle datatypes only | `contrib/ivorysql_ora/` |
+| Both | Split implementation |

+# DBMS_UTILITY Design Documentation
+
+Design documentation for IvorySQL's first Oracle-compatible DBMS package.
+
+## Implementation Summary
+
+**DBMS_UTILITY** is implemented in `src/pl/plisql/src/` as part of the PL/iSQL extension.
+
+```
+src/pl/plisql/src/
+├── pl_dbms_utility.c           ← C implementation (format transformation)
+├── pl_exec.c                   ← Session-level exception context storage
+├── plisql.h                    ← API export declaration
+├── plisql--1.0.sql             ← Package definition
+├── sql/dbms_utility.sql        ← Regression tests
+└── expected/dbms_utility.out   ← Expected test output
+```
+
+**Current Functions:**
+- `FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE` - Returns Oracle-formatted call stack in exception handlers
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+1. **Location:** `src/pl/plisql/src/` (not `contrib/ivorysql_ora/`)
+   - Avoids cross-module dependencies
+   - Has direct access to PL/iSQL exception handling
+
+2. **Exception Context Storage:** Session-level static variable in `pl_exec.c`
+   - Stored when entering exception handler
+   - Retrieved via `plisql_get_current_exception_context()` API
+   - Cleared when exiting exception handler
+
+3. **Output Format:** Transforms PostgreSQL error context to Oracle format
+   - `ORA-06512: at "SCHEMA.FUNCTION", line N`
+   - `ORA-06512: at line N` (for anonymous blocks)
+
+## Documents
+
+| Document | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| [ARCHITECTURE.md](./ARCHITECTURE.md) | Implementation details and rationale |
+| [DEPENDENCY_ANALYSIS.md](./DEPENDENCY_ANALYSIS.md) | Analysis of cross-module dependency problem |
+| [EXISTING_PACKAGES.md](./EXISTING_PACKAGES.md) | Survey of Oracle packages in IvorySQL |
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+- ✅ FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE implemented
+- ✅ Regression tests passing
+- ⏳ Future: FORMAT_ERROR_STACK, FORMAT_CALL_STACK
