Snippet Name: Protect PL/SQL source code

Description: Oracle provides a utility called 'wrap' that can be used to encrypt any block of PL/SQL source code. The wrap executable is normally located in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.

'wrap' takes standard PL/SQL source code as its input and writes out portable binary object code. The output code is not human-readable.

Note that there is no way to unwrap a *.plb binary file. Do not lose your original source code!
