Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: how to compile these object in oracle 8i
>From Metalink:
Problem Description:
While querying "user_objects", under the "OBJECT_TYPE" column, you see a value of "UNDEFINED" on some of the objects. What does this signify?
The "dba_objects" view shows LOB object type as UNDEFINED ; but "user_objects" view shows it correctly as LOB. If you run the query:
select object_type from user_objects;
you see some rows showing a value "UNDEFINED".
What is the object type, when "user_objects" view shows object type as UNDEFINED? Solution Description:
Using the "object_id" column of "user_objects" for the UNDEFINED object, query obj$:
select type# from sys.obj$ where obj#=<object_id>
If type# returned is 42, then it is an object type that was previously called a SUMMARY object. This object is created when one runs:
create materialized view ... command.
[Or equivalently "create snapshot..." command. ]
Explanation:
The object is most likely a SUMMARY object associated with materialized views.
