RE: Update invalid trigger_text in DBA_TRIGGERS?

David,

I would lean towards generating a script for all the triggers (if you don't already have them), doing a global replace on that, and then executing the script. TOAD, for example, can easily generate a single script for you containing all the create or replace trigger statements in a schema. And while I don't have one handy, I'm sure other list members have scripts to dump trigger source code where you could accomplish your same goal.
