In all honesty, I'm not comfortable at all with it. It's something that my supervisor wants cleaned up and the fix was given to me by Oracle support.

I did remove the overlaying object using dbms_xmlschema.deleteschema, but there is an orphaned reference to the objects in obj$.

Why are you messing arround with oracle internal objects? you probably will end up breaking XDB... if you don't use it, remove it altogether as it will make the upgrade faster.

Try recreating the xdb items and see if it picks up the reference and does away with the invalid entry.

He wants a clean database. We're upgrading soon to 11g and he wants it pristine.

I would start with asking him WHY does he want it removed ...... And is it worth the possible db corruption .

Hello gurus!

My supervisor tasked me to figure out how to remove an invalid object in the database. it's an XML (XDB owned) object and I've used dbms_xmlschema.deleteSchema() to remove the object, but a reference still exists in obj$ and it has a status of 5 (invalid).

Oracle support said to do this .....

delete from obj$ where name=....;

My question is this. Has anyone tried this before? Support said that it's risky and there is the possibility of db corruption.

I'm running 9.2.0.8 on AIX.

TIA! Jeremy
