What action should be taken in SQL Developer after compiling a script package?

After compiling a script package in SQL Developer, the recommended action is to execute session#.reset_package. When a package is compiled, any previously stored state information (like variables and session settings) are cleared, and these need to be reset for the changes to take effect in the current session. Executing session#.reset_package prepares the new definition of the package to be used immediately without requiring a disconnection or other intrusive actions.

This step is crucial because it ensures that the latest version of the package is active for the duration of the session and any subsequent calls to it reflect the most recent changes. Other actions, such as refreshing the scripts or checking out the scripts, do not execute the necessary reset and would not provide the expected functionality associated with the newly compiled package. Recompiling the package again is redundant and unnecessary since the goal is to utilize the changes already applied during the compilation process.
