RE: Patch of the day??Right now in 8.1.6, we are facing a bug (# = 782989), which is just reversing the order of the arguments in = procedure/function after we recompile them using the alter command or = Oracle compiles to validate them. There is no pactch and Oracle said, = it will be fixed in 8.1.7.
