Re: Database Startup Trigger is not pinning all packages

As others have pointed out on this thread, I was wrong, and you can in fact pin packages in a startup trigger that have not been loaded into memory. I was confusing this with functions and procedures (and cursors) which have to be in memory before they are pinned and will raise an error if not already loaded. I'm not sure how far back pinning packages like this goes, but I tested on 8.1.6 and it works.

I did however try to reproduce your error and found how to get the trigger working. I had to explicitly grant execute to sys for the packages before they would load from the startup trigger.
