Name

DBMS_REPCAT.EXECUTE_DDL

Synopsis

CREATE_MASTER_REPOBJECT and DROP_MASTER_REPOBJECT do not support every type of object. For example, you cannot use these procedures to drop and create constraints. Enter the EXECUTE_DDL procedure. EXECUTE_DDL allows you to perform DDL at one or more master sites. The replication group may or may not be quiesced. You can monitor the progress of the DDL call by monitoring the REPCATLOG data dictionary view (DBA_REPCATLOG).

PROCEDURE DBMS_DEFER_SYS.EXECUTE_DDL
   (gname        IN VARCHAR2 := '',
    {master_list IN VARCHAR2 := NULL, | 
    master_table IN dbms_utility.dblink_array,}
    ddl_text     IN VARCHAR2,
    sname        IN VARCHAR2 := '');
