title: What's the influence of compiling ORACLE packages with DEBUG
body: <p>we compile all our Oracle Packages with the DEBUG option enabled. This is the default for our IDE (PLSQLDeveloper). So when we compile a package in the background the following is executed:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ALTER PACKAGE emp_mgmt
     COMPILE DEBUG PACKAGE;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I wonder if there are any performance consequences for this. The Oracle docs about <a href="http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_2005.htm" rel="noreferrer">ALTER PACKAGE</a> do not mention anything about this.</p>
