Can you use synonyms? Henry
-----Original Message----- [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 3:12 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 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? David A.
