well, for starters, if catproc.sql wasn't already run on your database, almost nothing would have worked in the first place. Thats plsql support. things like sqlplus and virtually everything else would be complaining constantly.

Second, I'll guess there were other users on the system. Running catproc.sql whilst people are using plsql won't get very far (most likely, it'll just jam the system)...

why are you running catproc.sql ?
