Folks,

Is there a way to change the authid setting of a package via a simple procedure, e.g.,

        alter package x authid current_user;

I believe this is a compile-time setting, part of the source of the package (user_source, dbms_metadata output), which leads me to believe there's no simple way to redefine this short of recreating the package completely. But let's say we have several hundred packages to perform this on -- any easier way to accomplish this?

Obviously I could use various
dbms_metadata/substr/instr/replace/concatenate combinations, or Perl, or any other s//-like mechanism to generate the updated package text, but I'm open to other ideas, or perhaps a command/tool I'm missing.

Adam
