Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded
I work on an order entry system that is up 24x7 running Oracle version 8.0.5. I want to compile a fix to a procedure contained in a package body. I only will be recompiling the package body. Since the package body has no dependent objects, I should not invalidate any stored procedures that call this procedure in my package.
However, should I worry about causing an "ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded" error? What causes this error and when does it occur? Received on Thu Jun 08 2000 - 00:00:00 CDT
