I know, with earlier version of Oracle, columns likely to have null values
were placed at the end of the table, to save on some minuscle bytes of
space. If the null columns fall between columns with data values, then one
byte is used for their storage. Else, they require no storage. But no,
there is no bug related to the last column having a default value.

Nope. Your programmer is wrong.

I understand that part. What the programmer is saying that you can
not add the last column to a table with a default value. Does that
sound reasonable?
thanks, Raj.
David.

as soon as you add a column all depending code goes invalid, the
dependency checking process doesn't discriminate about the
default value.

Has anybody ever heard of this? I have a developer saying this
is an oracle
bug. It caused some packages to go invalid.
"The error seems to be related to a bug in oracle caused when the
last
column in a table is added with a default."
