Updating INVALID status of objects in procedure

Question

Hi guys.
I'm trying to create a procedure to update/recompile all invalid objects.
I am having a few issues with the syntax, and was wondering if any of you have done anything like thsi before. I obviously have not. :)
Here's teh code:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE recompile_sp
IS
CURSOR recompile_cur
  IS
   SELECT object_name, status
   FROM user_objects
   WHERE STATUS='INVALID';
BEGIN
FOR rec_cur IN recompile_cur LOOP
  ALTER rec_cur.object_name COMPILE;
END LOOP;
END;
/

I know your way makes way more sense, but the
assignment (yes, I'm in school) is asking for a
procedure to update teh invalid objects, which is why
I was looking to do it that way in the first place.Fair enough :-)
The correct way would be, as stated by others:
begin
   dbms_utility.compile_schema(<schema>);
end;Doing it it like in your procedure, you should probably do something like this:
(NOT recommended, NOT tested)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE recompile_sp
IS
   CURSOR recompile_cur
   IS
      SELECT object_name, object_type, status
        FROM user_objects
       WHERE status = 'INVALID';
   PROCEDURE exe(rec IN recompile_cur%ROWTYPE)
   IS
   BEGIN
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE    'ALTER '
                        || rec.object_type
                        || ' '
                        || rec.object_name
                        || ' COMPILE';
   EXCEPTION
      WHEN OTHERS
      THEN
         dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
   END exe;
BEGIN
   FOR rec_cur IN recompile_cur
   LOOP
      BEGIN
         exe(rec_cur);
      END;
   END LOOP;
END recompile_sp;
