I believe you can try to create a pipe with the same name and it will fail
because it already exists.  Ruth

Subject: Verify Piipe Exists


I am trying to install a vendor application with an Oracle repository =
and not making much progress.   The install has failed and the cleanup =
requires that the pipe be purged and removed or the database be bounced. =
I've been through this four times since Friday afternoon.   I can't find =
any way to view whether or not a pipe exists.  I know its not a =
conventional database object and that its some sort of memory structure. =
 Is there a way to do this?  Where do I look?


This is what they gave me to remove the pipe.

declare ret number;=20
begin=20
dbms_pipe.purge('usernamePIPE_MASTER');=20
ret:=3Ddbms_pipe.remove_pipe(user||'pipe_master1');=20
end;=20
