David I may be the only one to say this but updating the code directly in the database like that gives me the willies. Again you may be a database god.... and me, the pawn afraid of God Oracle.
Guess I'd take the strategy of yanking the code out, doing the replace on the code, storing the code in a file somewhere and then running the code with the create or replace trigger statements...
Heck try it and share your results with us.

Subject: Update invalid trigger_text in DBA_TRIGGERS?
I've got 885 triggers with hard-coded fully qualified table names in
DBA_TRIGGERS. Problem is, the vendor changed the ownership on these
tables, and now I've got 885 invalid triggers. I'd just like to run my
grand scheme (not to be confused with schema) past you folks, give you the
chance to realize just what an idiot I am, and offer brilliant alternatives
that'll cause lasting envy, jealousy, and self-pity - mostly because the
suggestions will be simpler, and might actually work.
So much for the introduction. I thought I'd just go into DBA_TRIGGERS and
run a replace against the trigger_text. Since trigger_text is a long data
type, I don't believe I can use a straight update .. set ... replace() in
SQL PLUS. My plan therefore is to write a quick PL/SQL piece that will
select the long column into a varchar2, do the replace, then update the
long column with the edited varchar2 variable.
Is this a realistic strategy?
