In Oracle all data is session specific ... even package data ... sessions share the package code.
1. Use a small table to share the data.
or
2. Use dbms_pipe to receive request and send out data ... this will act as a pseudo package header for all sessions.
These are the easiest ways ... of course I could just implement the dbms_pipe interface using dbms_alert as well to make it transactional.

Subject: Sharing data between sessions
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
One of my developers wants to share data between sessions inside a
package. Specifically he wants to set some sort of global variable in
a package that session 1 executes, and when sessions 2,3...n fire a
trigger he wants them to be able to read that variable. Is there an
easy way to do this other than by using a table? I was thinking that
java might have this ability but I don't know java at all. I know you
can link a C program to a trigger and since this is on unix you could
theoretically create a shared memory segment that the trigger would
read but this sounds like to a lot of hoops to jump through.
Any suggestions?
