Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Valid Packages/Procedures/Triggers that are NOT
We had a weird situation yesterday on a database that had been upgraded
from 8.1.6 to 9.2.0.1 over the weekend. Suddenly at 10:30 am, after being
in production for a day and a half, 93 previously VALID packages, package
bodies, triggers and procedures went INVALID. We have not been able to
figure out what made them go invalid (they were all in the same
application schema). Anyway, we recompiled all objects and all were then
marked as VALID. However, some of the code still failed to work; (as an
aside, we narrowed it down to those packages that contained ref cursors).
Since the packages were apparently VALID, we did not recompile them again
until after we bounced the database and generally chased our tails for a
couple of hours. In a last-ditch effort, we recompiled all the objects
again and the code started working.
Do any of you know of a bug in 9i that would cause an INVALID package to be marked VALID? Or, when is a VALID package really INVALID?
Thanks for your input.
