Can you provide the function code so we can see what it is doing?

Subject: Function reloading in SGA


I have a 9.2.0.4 database running on Windows that frequently runs into ORA-4031 
errors (about once a month).  The application has a known problem with literal 
values in the SQL.  I have been monitoring objects in the SGA to see if 
anything else is causing fragmentation.
I noticed that one function is loaded repeatedly, even though it is pinned.  It 
has been reloaded several times today (LOADS column value keeps increasing in 
v$db_object_cache).  Now I know this happens when the object is invalidated, 
however as far as I can tell it is not becoming invalidated.  None of it's 
depended objects are becoming invalidated either.  Or perhaps I should say - 
how do I know they are not becoming invalidated?  There is no DDL occuring on 
the function or its dependent objects.  The dependent objects are shown 
below. What else could be causing this function to be reloaded? 

Thank you,
Jay
