They just did a drop package body package_body_name; They suspect they lost the package header when they created a synonym pointing to an identical package in someone else's schema.
Feedback from the developers: HOW TO Guide for people who like the movie Night of the Living Dead: Create a package on account A (schema_A@remote_db_1) CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE aatest IS PROCEDURE test; END; / CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY aatest IS PROCEDURE test AS BEGIN null; END; END; / Create a synonym to the package on account B (schema_B@remote_db_2) CREATE SYNONYM AATEST FOR aatest@schema_A Then try to create the same package on account B. You will then have a package body on B, but no spec. -- Regards, Patrice Boivin Systems Analyst (Oracle Certified DBA) Systems Admin & Operations | Admin. et Exploit. des syst�mes Technology Services | Services technologiques Informatics Branch | Direction de l'informatique Maritimes Region, DFO | R�gion des Maritimes, MPO E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Boivin, Patrice J INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
