Hi,

   Normally, when I make a modificacion to the metadata ( DDL ) I shut 
down the database because it is not clear to me what happens if I alter 
a table or a stored procedure while it is being used or invoked by 
another user.
    Is it actually necessary to shut down the database in order to do 
metadata changes in a production environment ?

Thanks in advance,
Aldo Caruso
