About Oracle Wrap Utility

These utilities can load, encrypt, tune or debug code objects. This chapter will focus on the utilities that perform these functions, including wrap, dbms_profiler, dbms_debug, loadjava, dropjava and loadpsp.
The first of these utilities to be discussed will be the wrap utility that allows PL/SQL developers to encrypt their code.
PL/SQL Wrap Utility for Encryption
The wrap utility (wrap.exe) provides a way for PL/SQL developers to protect their intellectual property by making their PL/SQL code unreadable. These encryption options have long been available for other programming languages and were introduced for PL/SQL in version 7. It still amazes me at the number of proprietary procedures and packages that are installed in a readable format - plain PL/SQL.
Unfortunately there is no such command as:
ALTER PACKAGE BODY [name] WRAP;
Instead, the wrap utility takes a readable, ASCII text file as input and converts it to a file containing byte code. The result is that the DBA, developers or anyone with database access cannot view the source code in any readable format.
The command line options for wrap are:
wrap iname=[file] oname=[file]
Wrap only for production - Wrapping code is desired for production environments but not for profiling. It is much easier to see the unencrypted form of the text in our reports than it is to connect line numbers to source versions. Use dbms_profiler before you wrap your code in a test environment, wrap it, and then put it in production.

One word of caution here - wrap is an one-way encryption process for the files; there is no un-wrap function. So never throw away your original file. The wrap is done to make sure that someone peeking into the dba_source view will not be able to see the code in clear text.

Oracle wrap example

Steve Callan has a good article on using wrap, and an example of how the wrap utility creates a encrypted plb file:

I can take the code for the wrap_it procedure and, well, wrap it. The code for the procedure is in a file named wrap_example.sql.

Note how Oracle changed the file extension to 'plb.'. In you view the plb file with a text editor you will see that it is wrapped and encrypted.

Best Practices for Using Wrap
• Always wrap code that contains sensitive information or commercial software that is owned and distributed by your company. The give_raise procedure is highly sensitive and should not reveal the code to anyone that can access a DBA view.
• Although the wrap utility does in fact work in a straightforward manner, it will not work when wrapping code that is specific to a version of the database. For instance, our example above would wrap fine in version 7, and the same encrypted output can be used in 9i. But, if the code contains PL/SQL commands specific to a version of the database (execute immediate), then the wrap executable must be at least at that level of the database.
• Wrapping a procedure in 9i will not compile when submitted to an Oracle7 database. For the same reason that a file created in Word/XP cannot be loaded into Word95, newer versions of wrap only work with that version of the database. The wrap utility does have a 'loose' connection to the database, although it does not ask for one (username, password, SID). Attempting to wrap code that will not compile, will result in errors like the one below:
C:Oraclebin>wrap iname=giveraise.sql oname=giveraise.wrp

PL/SQL Wrapper error: Compilation error(s) for:
create or replace procedure give_raise
Outputting source and continuing.
It would seem to make sense to just wrap all code with the oldest version of the wrap utility, but that will not work. For example, trying to wrap a procedure that contained a version specific command (like execute immediate) would require that specific version of the wrap executable. In fact, it is much easier to wrap a file on each version of the database that you plan to support. Also, code that is wrapped is portable to any platform. Therefore, PL/SQL code could be wrapped on Windows and distributed to any UNIX platform.
• Give careful consideration to wrapping code since it increases the size of the procedural object (function, procedure, and package) by as much as
