Cannot drop or resıze datafile

Hi
My tablespace has 6 datafiles, and I moved every object to other segments.
However there are still objects, in this tablespace and I cannot make the datafile smaller or drop the datafile because of these objects.
What should I do?
select
owner,
file_id,
block_id end_block,
round(block_id * &m_block_size/1048576) possible_hwm,
segment_type,
segment_name,
partition_name
from
dba_extents
where
tablespace_name = 'DATA_AR'
order by
file_id, block_id
file_id end_block hwm segment_type segment_name

since they are empty!!

You also may want to read the following Metalink note :

  • Cannot drop old undo tablespace. Cause: active rollback segment

    dear all.
    db: oracle 10.2.0.1
    os: rhel as version 5 64 bits.
    This is a testing database. And my database is online and open. But i can free the external usb disk that contains my ols undotbs.
    I want to drop old undo tablespace but this is not possible.
    1.- In order to open my database i had my datafile( '/mnt/hdext/back_plelds/undotbs02.dbf') offline drop, and then i can to open my database.
    2.- When i try to delete my old undo tablespace im getting this error:
    SQL> drop tablespace undotbs1 including contents and datafiles;
    drop tablespace undotbs1 including contents and datafiles
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01548: active rollback segment '_SYSSMU1$' found, terminate dropping
    tablespace
    3.- My default undo_tablespace is another that i was created before step 1.
    SQL> sho parameter undo_ta
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    undo_tablespace string UNDOTMP
    SQL>
    Well i search in metalink ORA-01548 code error and in 18947.1 doc whows me that the solution is:
    Action: Shut down instances that use the active rollback segments in the
    tablespace and then drop the tablespace.
    4.- I try to shutdown but im getting:
    SQL> shutdown immediate;
    ORA-00376: file 10 cannot be read at this time
    ORA-01110: data file 10: '/mnt/hdext/back_plelds/undotbs02.dbf'
    SQL>
    This /mnt/hdext is an external USB disk and i have all permissions. I exported tables without any problem and i can read all files.
    i search un metalink again ora codes (ORA-00376 ORA-01110) and the doc id: 427801.1 shows in the solution:
    Drop the old undo tablespace instead of making it offline.
    but when i try to drop the tablespace it shows the error describe in the step 2.
    Facts:
    - my tablespace UNDOTBS1 is ONLINE. I put in offline and this is not the solution.
    - This is the status of my rollback segments:

    ERROR at line 1:

    i cannot drop the rollback_segment
    What can i do ???
    thanks a lot.

    in step 4 did you try with shutdown abort?
    If its still does not work then create another new table space with new file and then swtich to that tablespace http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/undo.htm#sthref1504Khurram

  • Cannot drop undo tablespace with Active extents but no active sessions

    Hi all,
    I am running on 10gr2 oracle database in a Linux 32 bit environment.
    I have a corrupted undo datafile. I've been able to recover the datafile but still the alert logs is still showing that it is corrupted.
    Now what I'm trying to do is to drop the old undo tablespace like the one discussed here Change undo tablespace in Oracle - Switch Oracle's Undo tablespace.
    My problem is I have an Active extent but no active session corresponding to it:
    SYS@ccasdb AS SYSDBA > SELECT a.name,b.status
    FROM   v$rollname a,v$rollstat b
    WHERE  a.usn = b.usn
    AND    a.name IN (
                      SELECT segment_name
                      FROM dba_segments
                      WHERE tablespace_name = 'UNDOTBS1'
                     );  2    3    4    5    6    7    8

      5  AND    c.ses_addr = d.saddr
      6  AND    a.name IN (
      7               SELECT segment_name
      8               FROM dba_segments
      9               WHERE tablespace_name = 'UNDOTBS1'
    10              );
    no rows selected
    but still cannot drop the undotablespace.
    SYS@ccasdb AS SYSDBA > drop tablespace UNDOTBS1 including contents and datafiles;
    drop tablespace UNDOTBS1 including contents and datafiles
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-30013: undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS1' is currently in use
    Regards,
    Tim

    Yes i was able to recover the datafile but the alert_log kept on prompting that it is still corrupted. The datafile's status is online.
    I want to kill the session/s contributing to the PENDING OFFLINE status of the rollback segment so I can already drop the undotablespace and so
    that the alert log will stop prompting for that corrupted datafile in that UNDOTABLESPACE.
    Can i Just alter the tablespace's datafiles to offline drop then just drop it. Then I drop the tablespace?

  • Cannot drop undo tablespace

    Hello:
    I've created a new undo tablespace undotbs2. I've set it to the default undo tablespace. When I've tried to drop the old one, I get the following error:
    SQL> conn / as sysdba
    Connected.
    SQL> DROP TABLESPACE undotbs1 INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;
    DROP TABLESPACE undotbs1 INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES
    ERROR at line 1: ORA-01548: active rollback segment '_SYSSMU7$' found, terminate dropping tablespace
    This is a production database. The service is down because the partition with the Oracle tablespaces: system, undo, temp, etc is full.
    After shutting down the database the problem persist: I cannot drop the old undo tablespace because of the same error.
    I've followed the note 1321093.1. Here the query results:
    Select segment_name, status, tablespace_name, rs.segment_id
    from dba_rollback_segs rs
    where status not in ('ONLINE','OFFLINE');
    _SYSSMU7$ PARTLY AVAILABLE UNDOTBS1 7

    As you can see, there is no pending transactions. No application is connected to the database (service is down), however the database is appling rollbacks since 2 days.

    Yes - as the exception says user 'system' does NOT have sufficient privileges to drop a PDB.
    That grant of sysdba is ONLY for the current container which is the root.
    Oracle 12c is NOT Oracle 11g - the multitenant architecture has SIGNIFICANT differences from previous versions in MANY areas especially in creating/managing users and granting privileges.
    The default container for grants is whatever the current container is. If you want the grant to cover ALL containers then you need to specify that.
    See the CONTAINER clause for the GRANT statement in the docs
    GRANT
    CONTAINER Clause
    If the current container is a pluggable database (PDB):
      Specify CONTAINER = CURRENT to locally grant a system privilege, object privilege, or role to a user or role. The privilege or role is granted to the user or role only in the current PDB.
    If the current container is the root:
      Specify CONTAINER = CURRENTto locally grant a system privilege, object privilege, or role to a common user or common role. The privilege or role is granted to the user or role only in the root.
      Specify CONTAINER = ALL to commonly grant a system privilege, object privilege on a common object, or role, to a common user or common role.
    If you omit this clause, then CONTAINER = CURRENT is the default.
    See that last statement?

    ORA-20123 is a localized/customized error code & message; therefore any solution depends upon what is unique inside your DB now.
    I suspect that some sort of TRIGGER exists, which throws posted error, but this is just idle speculation on my part.
    How do I ask a question on the forums?

  • Cannot drop table

    Versions are Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 and SQL Developer 4.0.0.12 on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.
    Hi
    I'm following the CBT Nuggets SQL Fundementals training (video #11) and cannot drop a table I have just created.  The command executed and error are:
    drop table newprods;
    Error starting at line : 1 in command -
    drop table newprods
    Error report -
    SQL Error: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
    ORA-20000: Cannot drop object
    ORA-06512: at line 2
    00604. 00000 -  "error occurred at recursive SQL level %s"
    *Cause:    An error occurred while processing a recursive SQL statement
               (a statement applying to internal dictionary tables).
    *Action:   If the situation described in the next error on the stack
               can be corrected, do so; otherwise contact Oracle Support.
    As the HR user I created two tables and created a FK constraint between them.  After truncating the table with this FK, I am unable to drop it.  Even if I remove the FK, the error is the same.  Issing the command in SQL*Plus gives the same error.
    This is the first time I have created any tables since installing Oracle on this machine and is my first attempt at dropping a table.  I have not created any sequences, triggers or views based on these newly created tables.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Cheers

  • Cannot drop cube or analytic workspace due to ORA-37409

    The error is ORA-37409: cannot delete or truncate AW used by CUBE ORGANIZED table.
    This seems very closely related to the bug discussed in this thread: Drop cube organized table
    We need to drop and rebuild a cube due to a design change. It looks like there are some CR$ tables related to the cube preventing the drop.
    We cannot drop the CR$ table, nor can we drop the cube, nor can we drop the analytic workspace. We have tried disabling materialized view refresh on the cubes (which works but leaves the CR$ tables out there). We have tried the drop using dbms_aw.aw_delete and with dbms_cube.import_xml (to remove everything). No such luck.
    Is there a workaround you can give me that will allow us to drop the CR$ tables? Or a workaround that will allow us to drop the workspace?

    Update:
    Our last attempt to drop the analytic workspace did remove almost all OLAP metadata. However, there were still rows in sys.olap_tab$ with object IDs relating the problem CR$ tables. In a test database, we confirmed that deleting these rows does allow us to drop the CR$ tables that cannot otherwise be dropped. However, running DML against a sys-owned table like this is unwise at best, and certainly an unsupported workaround (unless we can get Oracle's blessing to do it).
    We may go through MOS and see if Oracle can provide a one-off patch for the bug listed above, to correct this situation. Or perhaps they may be able to provide some other direction.
    This puts us in a situation where our only immediate option may be to uninstall the OLAP option and reinstall it.

  • Cannot drop object?

    I am simply following the CBT nuggets fundamentals course and did the following:

    create sequence SEQ_testsequence
    increment by 100 start with 1000
    maxvalue 100000 minvalue 1000 cache 20;
    rename seq_testsequence to seq_junkme;
    drop sequence seq_junkme;
    Everything works except the last statement for which i get the following error:

    Any ideas why i cannot drop this sequence?

    ORA-39726: unsupported add/drop column operation on compressed tables
    Then I tried to drop it in a way that first make it unused and then drop it but this time I got the following erro: while unused operation was successful
    ORA-12996: cannot drop system-generated virtual column
    Well I restored this database from RMAN backups of my production system. One thing more that is, when I created a new table then from that table I can drop or add any column from/to it.
    Any help........

    Well I have already tried this. As I explained in my first email that unused worked fine but as soon as I try to drop the unused column I got this error:
    ORA-12996: cannot drop system-generated virtual column

  • Cannot drop Mapping

    Hi,
    in our project there is an mapping that seems to be corrupt. We cannot open it (when the editor opens, it shows nothing). So we would like to import that map from an older MDL-file. But we also cannot drop the mapping. OWB shows an API5072 Error then:
    Internal Error: Null message for exception.
    Is the there a way to get rid of that mapping?
    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias,
    you may try to export everything but the corrupt mapping. Then import into a new repository. Eventually import the last backup of the corrupt mapping into the new repository.
    But first try to quit and restart design center. Sometimes we experience strange errors that vanish after a restart.
    Regards,
    Carsten.

  • Cannot drop column from table owned by SYS

    Hello everybody,
    How can I drop a column of table which is owned by sys? thanks!
    Result as follows:
    SQL> ALTER TABLE HELLO_TB DROP COLUMN NUM;
    ALTER TABLE HELLO_TB DROP COLUMN NUM
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-12988: cannot drop column from table owned by SYS
    newbie v

    You can not 'change' the ownership.
    You can, however, 'move' or 'clone' most objects by exporting and importing. As follows:
    I create a table under SYS (shudder).
    I then export it
    - using userid SYS in this case,
    - under normal circumstances I'd either use a DBA account or the owner's userid
    - since I want a table, I use the TABLES option - a list is comma separated and in quotes
    I then import it using a 'userid' switch - fromuser & touser options
    - in this case from SYS to HR
    Finally, I verify it was transported.
