关于dual表的破坏性测试，既然是破坏性测试，就需要确定这个测试仅限于测试或者个人学习所用，可能有些sql看似极为简单，但是一旦运行就会导致整个业务系统崩溃。
比如说我们拿dual表开刀，这个表是一个dummy表，里面的内容没有特定的意义，就是为了存在而存在。但是一旦这个表出现问题，所有相关的基础操作都会受到影响，后果不敢想象。
来简单模拟一下，在个人的机器上开始做下面的尝试，drop 表dual
SQL> show user
USER is "SYS"
SQL>
SQL> show parameter insta
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
active_instance_count integer
cluster_database_instances integer 1
instance_groups string
instance_name string TEST01
instance_number integer 0
instance_type string RDBMS
open_links_per_instance integer 4
parallel_instance_group string
parallel_server_instances integer 1
SQL> drop table dual; --运行这个命令也没有出现任何的问题
Table dropped.
SQL> select count(*)from dual; --但是一旦开始尝试查询操作就会报出1775的错误。
select count(*)from dual
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01775: looping chain of synonyms
SQL> select *from dual; --再次尝试，问题依旧，可以想象在线业务系统出现这个问题是致命的影响。
select *from dual
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01775: looping chain of synonyms
--如果没有尝试重启数据库的情况下，完全可以采用如下的方式来解决，我们可以完全重建表dual,插入dummy的数据
SQL> CREATE TABLE "SYS"."DUAL"
( "DUMMY" VARCHAR2(1)
) TABLESPACE "SYSTEM" ;
Table created.
SQL> GRANT SELECT ON "SYS"."DUAL" TO PUBLIC WITH GRANT OPTION;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> select *from dual;
no rows selected
SQL> insert into dual values('X');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select *from dual; --简单的验证，会发现问题似乎解决了。
D
-
X
SQL> select sysdate from dual; --尝试使用dual来查询时间，也没有发现问题。

这个时候可以查看相关的sys下的失效对象，会发现受到影响的还不少，这个时候可以重新编译。
SQL> select object_name,owner ,object_type from dba_objects where status='INVALID'

如果不幸的是我们在出现问题的时候尝试重启数据库，就会发现数据库就起不来了。

如果确实知道问题的原因就轻车熟路的解决了，要不还需要费一番周折，开启一些更为详尽的trace来排查。
这个错误和数据库参数replication_dependency_tracking有关,默认是TRUE,我们需要暂时绕过这个校验，先把库启动起来，然后重建表dual就可以了。在修复以后，重启数据库恢复replication_dependency_tracking的默认值TRUE

然后可以重新编译失效对象，这个问题的解决就告一段落了。
