Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Update invalid trigger_text in DBA_TRIGGERS?
David,
Are you saying the vendor did not provide you with new triggers?
And you haven't sent them a *blistering* email saying that they just corrupted your production database?
Some things are DBA's problems. Things that a vendor does to THEIR system is not one of them. This is like saying that they changed the names of all of the database tables in their application, and now you are supposed to change them in the database.
I agree with Lisa and Rachel - do NOT change anything in the database via the tables represented by DBA_TRIGGERS. If you break anything, the vendor and Oracle will both wash their hands and tell you to restore from a prior version.
You could try Rachel's suggestion (try it on a couple of triggers and see what happens).
But the correct thing is to follow Lisa's advice. The triggers need to be migrated to the new Oracle schema.
Hope this helps.

I've got 885 triggers with hard-coded fully qualified table names in DBA_TRIGGERS. Problem is, the vendor changed the ownership on these tables, and now I've got 885 invalid triggers. I'd just like to run my grand scheme (not to be confused with schema) past you folks, give you the chance to realize just what an idiot I am, and offer brilliant alternatives that'll cause lasting envy, jealousy, and self-pity - mostly because the suggestions will be simpler, and might actually work.
So much for the introduction. I thought I'd just go into DBA_TRIGGERS and run a replace against the trigger_text. Since trigger_text is a long data type, I don't believe I can use a straight update .. set ... replace() in SQL PLUS. My plan therefore is to write a quick PL/SQL piece that will select the long column into a varchar2, do the replace, then update the long column with the edited varchar2 variable.
Is this a realistic strategy?
