Greetings listers,
Ever worry about wrinkles, loss of hair, and bad breath?
Well, the following script can't help you with THAT, but it CAN show you a heirarchical list of objects that depend upon the given object! Just pass in &1=owner and &2=object name, and viola! No more changing objects without knowing what depends on them (and might break). (The reason for the temp table is that you can't do recursive self-join sql on complex views.) This can be a very useful script if you make production database changes.
prompt
prompt objects depending on &1. &2:
prompt
set termout off
set head off
set verify off
drop table depends;
create table depends as select * from
sys.dba_dependencies;
set termout on
select '*'||lpad(' ',level+3)||type||'
'||owner||'.'||name
from depends
connect by prior owner = referenced_owner
and prior name = referenced_name
and prior type = referenced_type
start with referenced_owner = upper('&1')
and referenced_name = upper('&2')
and owner is not null
/
good luck,
jack silvey
