Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Invalid objects
The first time you try to use the invalid object, oracle tries to compile
it. If successfull, you just lost a little bit of time. If not
successfull, you will get an error message.
It's good policy not to have invalid objects in the db.
Hope this helps
