This is a "extremely valuable and irremovable" object within the database that is essentially a pointer to the next object ID within the database data dictionary. Don't worry about it.

I ran <ORACLE>\javavm\install\initjvm.sql and <ORACLE>\rdbms\admin\initplsj.sql as SYS and then followed up by use ALTER <objectType> to recompile all invalid objects. The only thing I have left is a object of name _NEXT_OBJECT of the type NEXT OBJECT, which has an N/A status. Googling for this gave me http://www.experts-exchange.com/Databases/Oracle/Q_20082312.html which was someone who was having some problems with his database and his _NEXT_OBJECT. I, however, don't seem to be suffering any visible ill-effects so far. What is this thing, and how do I fix it (and I don't really want to do a re-imprt per the experts-exchange web page.) -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Rudy Zung INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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).
