Seriously?

I haven't done any research on this yet, so I don't know if it is fixed in a subsequent patch or a later version.  But seriously, a space?

Its part of the view definition (at least in XE) so they can convert a bunch of bits into a 'GRANT OR REVOKE OR ...' string.

Bet it is one of those things that they won't fix on the grounds it may break some scripts.

Craig Martin said...

Do you only get this on DDL and LOGON triggers?

Jeff Hunter said...

@Craig: Interestingly enough, no, I don't get this same condition on other types of triggers (INSERT, for example).

Craig Martin said...

@Jeff: Looks like I get the same thing on 10.2.0.4. And like Gary said, it is part of the _TRIGGERS view. Looking at the view definition, the DDL/database triggers are handled differently than the DML triggers in how they are built which explains why one has spaces and the other doesn't.

I will try to test on an 11gR2 db as well to see if it has been fixed.

Jeff Hunter said...

@craig: it's still in 11.2.0.2.1, at least on Linux.

I noticed this too. Mildly Annoying - unless you have just spend many many hours trying to solve a problem with the premise that there aren't any DDL triggers in the database. Then it's VERY annoying.
