It is possible that a procedure remain valid even when the data type of columns of a table on which it is operating change.
This can be achieved by using Anchor declaration i.e. %TYPE and %ROWTYPE while defining reference to such table columns and rows respectively in the procedure.tar.goyal

It can be done using role grants. Grant view or debug privileges to only the set of users who can see these tables. The other users who are not granted the privilege cannot view this table. Every single user is a Schema in Oracle.It is by default, that the table cannot be seen by others.
