PACKAGES

Description

Use the CREATE PACKAGE statement to create the specification for a stored package, which is an encapsulated collection of related procedures, functions, and other program objects stored together in the database. The package specification declares these objects. The package body, specified subsequently, defines these objects.(Oracle PL/SQL Language Reference CREATE PACKAGE Statement)

Snowflake does not have an equivalent for Oracle packages, so in order to maintain the structure, the packages are transformed into a schema, and all its elements are defined inside it. Also, the package and its elements are renamed to preserve the original schema name. For more information about package renaming, you can check the Package Translation Options section.
