You Asked

Is it possible to change a string to another string in all procedures in a schema?

Use case: We have a function, say F_A. We want to place it within a package, say PG_B. Now we would like to change all calls to F_A in all procedures with PG_B.F_A

Bonus: If possible to use regexes!

ALTERNATIVE: One way is to make the change anyway. This will result in a lot of invalid procedures. Manually correct & re-compile them all. Very tedious.

You need to get all your source code and update the references in there. Then recompile everything. This is not something you should do directly in the database.
