Re: invalid types and tables

It appears to me you dropped the user that was owner of the database objects
been warned during dump activity. I guess dropping user was possible in you
case as you are using an older release but you cant do the same in 8.1 and
onwards.

I will recommend recreating the user that was dropped to get around this
problem...
