RE: package body without a header ?!

Patrice,

Did you try and re-create a package body that matches the header (even a skeletal one) and then drop the package?

We just migrated a database, and as part of our validation we noticed that we had a package body in one schema with no package header.

This is the case both in the old db and in the new one, exp / imp faithfully recreated the decapitated package body in the new db.

Change Manager did not report it as a problem, since the situation is the same in both databases.

DROP PACKAGE drops both the header and the package body. DROP PACKAGE BODY drops just the package body.

I don't think there is a DROP PACKAGE HEADER command.

Would anyone know how someone could drop just the header of a package, but not the body?

Perhaps via objects privileges (?).

This is weird.
