Oracle DBMS_IOT
Version 21c

General Information
Library Note Morgan's Library Page Header
ACE Director Alum Daniel Morgan, founder of Morgan's Library, is scheduling complimentary technical Workshops on Database Security for the first 30 Oracle Database customers located anywhere in North America, EMEA, LATAM, or APAC that send an email to asra_us@oracle.com. Request a Workshop for your organization today.
Purpose Creates a table used for identifying chained rows in index organized tables. This package is not created by the DBCA installation because it is not required with database versions greater than 8.0.

I am documenting it here in the library because, for reasons beyond my comprehension, Oracle won't drop it from the distribution. If they keep it ... The Library keeps it.
