>I'm moving an Oracle instance from one multi database app to several one databse apps. Somehow, a couple of triggeres wound up in the wrong schema. No sweat, drop trigger yada, create or replace , so on and so forth. No go, object name in use. Try to find it, using several tools, no such object. Query dba_objects, there it is, with an OBJECT_TYPE of NEXT OBJECT. Que?

I obviously have no way of knowing if this will work:

DROP "NEXT OBJECT" object_name;

According to my newly obtained Advanced PL/SQL programming, you can create a user defined object:

Create or Replace TYPE MyType AS OBJECT (....

How a space got in there I do not know.

There is also a DROP TYPE command:

DROP TYPE schema.type_name

You may have to enclose your object type in quotes since it has a space.
