We now have a supported script to perform this function of re-compiling invalid objects. The script is called utlrp. However, most experienced Oracle DBAs prefer a home-made script for this purpose.
Oracle invalid objects sometimes have dependencies, so it may be necessary to run the Oracle invalid objects recompile repeatedly. Feel free to ask questions on our Oracle forum. Verify experience! Seems simple enough Those work great, if the calls are in the database.
Harder to find stuff in reports, cron jobs, jsps, asps, etc etc. November 11, - am UTC. I would like to drop that object but i could not do it as it has got the name BODY. Thanks in advance. November 22, - am UTC. I cannot reproduce in 7. You'd need to help me reproduce.
Go to your librarian and ask for a new dictionary It takes multiple creation attempts of a really strange syntax to reproduce. Thank you Tom and Dave, Dave is right it is Dictionary corruption. Oracle bug says it is fixed in Oracle 9iR2 but it doesn't seems to be, as we migrated from 8. I am raising a TAR with oracle support. Thanks Jagadeswar Vallabhadas. Thanks TP. January 13, - am UTC.
Tom, This was a useful thread I didn't know objects compiled when you called them. I tried testing this by doing the following: 1 I went into TOAD, and broke a stored procedure tried to compile it with a syntax error 2 I removed the syntax error but did not recompile. However, when I call the proc from our Java app go to some window that uses the proc as step 3 it does not recompile.
Is this to be expected? Anything jump out at you or do you need more information? February 09, - pm UTC. Many thanks for any help! March 29, - am UTC. Same with the body. The indvidual functions are part of the package. Thank You!
Richard, March 29, - am UTC. Hi Tom I have a small doubt. I tried this in SQL Plus, this is correct for invalid standalone procedures and functions but not for invalid package specs and bodies.
I was able to describe invalid packages. Please help me clarify the concept. Thanks Shalu. March 31, - am UTC. Tom, I was going through the discussion above and was very useful. Here is a small issue, I am facing, when ever I change an existing package and recompile. It looks good, compiled But when the first time after compiling , I try to execute the package via database or VB application, it gives this error below. Also again before re-running the VB app I look at the database end, the package looks complied Please advise!
June 30, - pm UTC. In short - you have a package - someone used the package - the package maintains a state - you recreate the package, killing their state. Makes sense Thankyou space, June 30, - pm UTC.
Thankyou Tom. Have a great weekend. Hi Tom, Understanding that invalidated package should be re-compiled everytime it is called. However, we do have couple packages will not recompile itself, rather, it gives error message as: ORA existing state of packages has been discarded. After I manually recompile the package, it works fine. This package is created under schema1, granted exec privilege to user Oload.
After daily SQL load process from Oload account to schema1, one korn shell script execute the package to populate data into 2 other tables in the schema. However, these days we are hitting this error message not happen everytime though. Since in production for 2 months, it happened 4 times now. All the work are through scheduler. Do I really need re-compile package after data loading process? July 24, - am UTC. This code that was recompiled, it maintained a state package global variables.
Your application needs to know this very very very important fact, that it's brain has in effect been lobotomized. It's memory -- gone. You do NOT need to recompile the package. Search this site for ora, we've had lots of discussions on this. Does your package NEED to maintain a state? If so, they you need to find out what you are doing that causes the package to go invalid and recompile itself. If not, by all means, get rid of the globals, globals can cause many problems in code in general.
J, July 25, - am UTC. Tom, Thanks for your quick reply. I went through couple threads on this error. It seems that that is no other way to eliminate package state unless re-write the package to get rid of all global variables.
I am curious how it will happen in my case: this package in schema1 are only accessed by user ID1, after data loading process. It seems that package is invalidated after SQL loading. However, ID1 will connect to database after sql loading, calling the package which invoke re-compiling of the package. First, I thought after re-connection, there really shouldn't be any state maintained from previous session; second, if this problem is caused by re-compiling, is there anyway to bypass it by executing directly sorry for the naive question?
It would require quite a lot effort to get rid of all global variables in all package. Thanks for your feedback! I really appreciate it! July 25, - am UTC. Sorry, but this error happens when a package is compiled AFTER the state was already established -- so the timeline you provide does not compute. If they connect after the package was invalidated Then they will not recieve this message. Tom, you are absolutely right - I checked into developer's code.
They are calling same package different procedure in one connection, and error out on the second call. Tom, DB Version: And why they are coming?
July 29, - pm UTC. I have 67 invalid things in my sys schema. I'm not losing sleep. And they have the ability to recompile themselves when and if they are needed. Hi tom, We are on 11i10 production environment. However these should recompile dynamically and the objects should become valid again which is not the case. Can you suggest something for this. October 21, - am UTC. I did not follow you. Or is there some sort of recompilation of the spec and body of A and B happening because the remote objects they depend on have changed?
Hi Tom, I am sorry that you could not follow what was the exact problem in my case, neither do I. Tell me whenever you run a package, does the whole database recomplile dynamically? If not how do you set it up? These are called by several other packages. Its a coincedence that these calling packages get invalid when the called package is run. Please suggest something. October 26, - am UTC. Thanks Tom, I have been trying to figure out the exact reason of what might be the cause.
I am going nowhere with this. Well, Thanks for your time. I'll get back to you once i find a clue. DB version 9. January 07, - pm UTC. Hi Tom, Need your help. We have some packages in our database we get the following error when we try to compile these packages and package body. Thanks in Advance Pradikan. February 22, - am UTC.
Hi Tom, Thanks for imeediate response. Thanks in advance Pradikan. For this reason, DDL always commits in Oracle. It commits first so that if it has to roll back, it will not roll back your transaction.
If you execute DDL, it will make permanent any outstanding work you have performed, even if the DDL is not successful. If you need to execute DDL, but you do not want it to commit your existing transaction, you may use an autonomous transaction.
This means that you may query a table during a DDL operation, but you may not modify it in any way. If you perform DDL against that object, Oracle will review the list of objects that have registered their dependence and invalidate them. Instead of taking an exclusive DDL lock, preventing modifications of data, Oracle will only attempt to acquire a low-level mode 2 TM lock on the table.
Oracle accomplishes this feat by keeping a record of modifications made to the table during the DDL statement and applying these changes to the new index as it finishes the CREATE.
This greatly increases the availability of data. These are taken out against dependent objects when you create stored, compiled objects, such as procedures and views. You can modify the contents of these tables, but you cannot modify their structure.
The last type of DDL lock is a breakable parse lock. When your session parses a statement, a parse lock is taken against every object referenced by that statement. These locks are taken in order to allow the parsed, cached statement to be invalidated flushed in the shared pool if a referenced object is dropped or altered in some way.
You can install this and other locking views by running the catblock. This script must be executed as the user SYS in order to succeed. Once you have executed this script, you can run a query against the view. It is interesting to note that in the view, the OWNER column is not the owner of the lock; rather, it is the owner of the object being locked. This is why you see many SYS rows. SYS owns these packages, but they all belong to my session.
We find that P is now missing from the view. Our parse lock has been broken. This indicates that someone else is using it actually running it , and you can use this view to see who that might be.
You can use the same method to discover the potential blockers and waiters. Excellent patel, March 08, - pm UTC. Tom, I have a question regarding package body recompilation. In my web appliation. Iam invoking a stored procedure defined in a package at the time my JSP is rendered. The query is run through a datasource object. If i change and recompile the body of this package the JSP throws a invalid package state error. This error is not repeating if i compile the pkg spec and body.
The package body is compiling with out any errors. Could you please help me on this. Thank you. March 22, - pm UTC.
Is it True?. Please Give Some Advise to us. Is it ok to apply patch with 12 Invalid Objects? If yes, you may ignore below. After running catalog. Please let me know. April 22, - pm UTC. I am getting following error in one of my 9. April 27, - am UTC. After running catproc, I got following message in the end. I have run utlrp. Synonym created. Grant succeeded. Library created. Regards, Dawar. Issue has been solved.
Dawar, April 26, - pm UTC. Tom, Issue has been solved. Here what I did? Database dismounted. Database opened. Package body created. No errors. After that I have new 7 objects were invalid but I was able to compile objects manually. A reader, May 08, - am UTC.
Tom, We noticed the following package compilation errors in our log file. Due to dependencies, some more application packages also didn't compile but I think this is the root cause. I tried recompiling the packages and schema without success. The DBA took care of the problem. The DBA fixed the problem. SQL Server will take care of that. So, a synonym can be created for a non-existing object.
As you can see, metadata way you can extend the standard functionality of SSMS to do your day-to-day database tasks. If this task seems tiresome and requiring much effort, you can simplify the process and save a substantial amount of time with SQL Complete , which is a code completion add-in for SSMS and VS. This powerful functionality allows you to easily detect mismatched objects through multiple databases and generate effective scripts to manage them.
When working with a database, it is common practice to have a number of invalid objects that hinder your work and cause errors. The important thing to do is to find and validate them in proper time. In this article, we have taken you through some of the most important things to know about invalid objects in Oracle and SQL databases and provided scripts that will assist you in identifying them. We also want to highlight that if you experience difficulties, there are automated ways to work with, identify, and fix invalid objects provided at Devart and other companies.
Good script. Great script! I was scratching my head for hours trying to figure out how to find this Invalid Object name. This script did the trick. Oracle Tools. SQL Server Tools. Introduction By invalid, we usually mean different types of objects such as synonyms, functions, packages, procedures, views, etc. FN [dbo].
