[Quoted] [Quoted] Can anyone tell me what mechanism makes packages or procedures invalid when a different object that a package or procedure depends upon changes? Is there anyway of disabling it?

[Quoted] Or, does anyone know of a "make"-like utility for keeping my packages and procedures valid? Or how can I compile a package or procedure .sql script from the command line and then use a makefile?

[Quoted] BTW, I'm running Oracle 8.05 on an NT box.

Maybe I should describe what's happening...

I have packageA which makes reference to a constant in packageB that is used [Quoted] by many other packages. When I recompile packageB, some Oracle process makes [Quoted] packageA invalid.

Now, this is an oversimplification of my problem as I have a team of developers that have created what seems to be a web of package and procedure [Quoted] dependencies. I've suggested reorganizing the packages to reduce these development environment problems, but I also told them I'd investigate other options.

Any suggestions?
