Would somebody be kind enough to tell me what this excerpt from

"Oracle 9i Database Concepts" page 15-7 means?

Security Authorizations

Oracle notices when a DML object or system privilege is granted to or revoked from

a user or PUBLIC and automatically invalidates all the owner's dependent objects.

Oracle invalidates the dependent objects to verify that an owner of a dependent

object continues to have the necessary privileges for all referenced objects.

An example would probably help.

Thanks,
