Hi,

   Recently, I drop an index and recreate that index in different type. = Some of the packages became INVALID.
As I know, in Oracle, you can drop and alter an index at any time. = Oracle recommends that you should notice the performance. I have no = idea why this recreating index cause the package being INVALID. One = thing I am not sure is that maybe some packages are particularly = specified to use that dropped index, thus cause the package invalidated.

What should I watch out when I recreating Indexes?

Many Thanks for any help

Chuan
