5.120 DBA_INVALID_OBJECTS

DBA_INVALID_OBJECTS describes all invalid objects in the database. You can use this view to identify invalid objects before and after a database upgrade.

This view eliminates old versions of object types. It only includes the object type it if is the latest version.

Column Datatype NULL Description

OWNER

VARCHAR2(128)

Owner of the object

Dictionary object number of the segment that contains the object.

Note: OBJECT_ID and DATA_OBJECT_ID display data dictionary metadata. Do not confuse these numbers with the unique 16-byte object identifier (object ID) that Oracle Database assigns to row objects in object tables in the system.

OBJECT_TYPE

VARCHAR2(23)
