ORA-02303: cannot drop or replace a type with type or table dependents

Question

I\'m newbee in oracle and I try to change varchar(50) to 250

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE CEQ_OWNER.TY         


        

Answer 1

There are other types or tables that depend on the type you want to change. If it's a dependent type, then you can use the FORCE option to change the type.

If it's a table that directly or indirectly uses the type, then you will need to create a new type and a new table, migrate all the data, and finally drop and rename tables and types.

See this Oracle documentation for some further information.
