What is a PKB file?

PKB files mostly belong to Oracle SQL Developer. Oracle PL/SQL Package Body and ServiceNow Bundle: PKB files are used mainly as Oracle package body files. They store the code that implements procedures and functions defined in an Oracle PL/SQL package. The package body works alongside a package specification file (often with a .PKS extension) that declares its interface.
These files serve two main roles:
  • Oracle PL/SQL Use: Contains the executable code for database packages. Changes require recompilation, which may affect dependent objects.
  • ServiceNow Package Bundle: Some PKB files use a ZIP format to bundle configuration and metadata. This variant is linked with package files in environments such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
  • FilExt.com note: For more details about Oracle, visit the Oracle website or the Oracle Database page.
