Oracle compile view sql

Question

As part of our ANT based deploys we run some sql against an Oracle database.

The deploys are set to fail if any sql errors occur. (We do this using WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT FAILURE ROLLBACK in our SQL files and using the ant exec command with failonerror=true to run the sql).

We would like to add to our deploy sql files some sql that will compile (or re-compile) certain views and have the deploy fail if the compile fails. Anyone know the sql (or whatever) that will allow us to do this?

Answer 1

Do you need to do more than "ALTER VIEW xxx COMPILE"?
