procedure state has changed

Hi

Oracle 816 and OpenVMS 7.2-1

I remember seeing a conversation on this ng about having separate files for the package header and the package body.

I thinks the discussion was about avoiding the message "procedure (or package?) state has changed" (can't remember the exact message right now).

Say I only modify some logic in one procedure in the body, is it a good thing that I only recompile the body, or it really does not matter? I know on my web application if I change one procedure and re-execute (@ command) the one file that contains both the package header and body while a client is connected to the web site, the client will get an error at the next call for a procedure in this package.

I searched the ng archive and found nothing, and also Metalink is not responding today (for me anyway).

Thanks for your thoughts.
