RE: package body without a header ?!

They just did a drop package body package_body_name;

They suspect they lost the package header when they created a synonym pointing to an identical package in someone else's schema.

Feedback from the developers:

HOW TO Guide for people who like the movie Night of the Living Dead:

Create a package on account A (schema_A_at_remote_db_1)

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE aatest IS
PROCEDURE test;
END;
/

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY aatest IS PROCEDURE test
AS
BEGIN
null;
END; END;
/

Create a synonym to the package on account B (schema_B_at_remote_db_2)

CREATE SYNONYM AATEST FOR aatest_at_schema_A

Then try to create the same package on account B.

You will then have a package body on B, but no spec.
