Mike,

Just for grins, try creating this function in another schema - something
*not* named "query".  I'm wondering of this is a reserved word.

I tried the same function in my database (9,2.0.3) and it worked fine.

9.2.0.3
Solaris

Users called me up saying their packages/procedures no longer work. Of
course, they've been working for years. I've whittled it down to a test case
below
Note I've logged in as the query user created the function and then called
it sucessfully from dual. When I reference the function which the query user
owns and I'm also logged in as then it fails.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION mike_test
         (
                sInputString IN varchar2
        ) return varchar2 IS
        BEGIN
                return replace(sInputString, '''', '^');
        END mike_test;
