Abstract
Example embodiments involve a system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and computer-implemented method for modifying a database object with one or more dependent database objects. The method may include receiving a data definition statement involving a modification to a database object. The received data definition statement includes a clause imposing a restriction on the modification to the database object. The method further includes determining whether the modification results in invalidation of at least one dependent database object in response to the clause being included in the received data definition statement. Based on determining that the modification results in the invalidation of at least one dependent database object, the modification to the database object is prevented. Based on determining that the modification does not result in the invalidation any dependent database objects, the modification to the database object is performed in accordance with the data definition statement.
