Schema Compare Tool-Forced Recompilation??

[Lisa Ashley Rafter]

Hi all,
I was wondering if when doing a schema comparison, PL/SQL developer or Oracle recompiles the objects prior to doing the compare?
The reason I'm asking is because I did a schema compare yesterday and there were a large number of invalid objects that suddenly became valid after the compare was done.
Is there a flag you can set in Oracle or Pl/SQL Developer to not compile invalid objects prior to doing the compare?
Thanks,
Lisa

The Compare tool does not implicitly compile any objects. It will merely fetch its definition from the Oracle Dictionary.
