在oracle8i中，可以在***_objects视图中看到对象类型object_type为“UNDEFINED”的纪录。这通常是由materialized views/snapshot 引起的。

(o.type# = 1 and 1 = (select 1

l.ctime, to_date(null), NULL, 'VALID','N','N', 'N'
from sys.link$ l, sys.user$ u
where l.owner# = u.user#
可以看到，视图定义中decode函数将不存在的o.type#都归入为'UNDEFINED' ；如果必要，可以自己定义正确的视图；该问题在高版本已经解决
