Hmmm, for the given event level 10 is awfully strange, knowing that oraus.msg says the following: 10520, 00000, "recreate package/procedure/view only if definition has changed" // *Cause: // *Action: Set this event only under the supervision of Oracle development // *Comment: Changes behaviour of create or replace package|procedure|view, // comparing the new definition to the old prior to recreating the // object. Creation is skipped if old and new definitions match // (ie. object has not changed). No level number required. I believe that one of these two sources is wrong and there is only one exact way to determine which one is wrong: eeney, meeney, miney, moe, catch your event by its toe. -- Mladen Gogala Ext. 121 _____ From: Paul Drake [mailto:bdbafh@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 03, 2005 11:00 AM To: rjamya@xxxxxxxxx Cc: Oracle Discussion List Subject: Re: Automatic recompilations of PLSQL objects On 10/3/05, rjamya <rjamya@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:rjamya@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: Is there a flag, setting that we can set in a session to tell Oracle "do not recompile" invalidates objects until the end of script ??
