Title: RE: last column in a table is added with a DEFAULT
David,
I haven't yet encountered this specific case, but I doubt that very much.
in my test case with or without, it invalidated to package
body.
It is impossible to add a NOT NULL column that *doesn't* have a DEFAULT to a table
(unless the table is empty). The error you get is "ORA-01758: table must be empty to
add mandatory (NOT NULL) column".
But that's a logical problem, not a bug. Is there any chance the dev is confusing
this prob

See the test
below:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> create table t1 (c1
number); Table created. [EMAIL PROTECTED]> insert into t1 (c1)
values (1); 1 row created. [EMAIL PROTECTED]> insert into t1 (c1)
values (2); 1 row created.

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.

David,
The
best way to see if this works is to create a test table. populate it with
some data. Add a column with a default value.
and
observer what happens.
best
way to learn.

David,
Nope. Your programmer is wrong.

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