It's not about when your DDL is applied but about the cached procedure
BLR that is used by others. The changed (new) procedure BLR will be used
by newly compiled statements immediately after your DDL has been
executed. However, all already compiled statements will keep using the
old procedure BLR until these statements are released.

So Sean is correct except that "holding an object" applies to particular
statements, not a connection as a whole.
