Auditing drop tablespace in Oracle 10.1

Hi all,
I want to audit the drop table and drop tablespace statement for all users in the oracle database 10.1. So, could someone gives me a help to do this?
The audit_trail is already set to db in the database.
Regards

When I try to create and drop a table there was no rows selected from
select username, action_name from dba_audit_trail;
This is my audit option
AUDIT_OPTION SUCCESS FAILURE
ALTER TABLESPACE BY ACCESS BY ACCESS
CREATE TABLESPACE BY ACCESS BY ACCESS
DROP ANY TABLE BY ACCESS BY ACCESS
DROP TABLESPACE BY ACCESS BY ACCESS
audit_trail = db
Why this drop table is not stored in the view dba_audit_trail
Regards

  • Drop tablespace in Oracle 8i

    I want to know how to drop tablespace in Oracle 8i.
    Actually i read on internet that we cannot drop tablespace in oracle 8i.
    Is that true?
    How can i drop the tablespace in 8i?
    Thanks,

    8i does have a DROP TABLESPACE command. What it does not have is the "AND DATAFILES" clause. Thus, it will not remove the datafiles at the OS layer (eg filesystem).

  • Drop tablespace Example in Oracle 9i

    I have used Oracle 9i (9.2) database in my P.C. Today my database(ORCL) not open due to corruption of
    EXAMPLE01.dbf datafile. Now I want to drop the tablespace EXAMPLE associated with EXAMPLE01.dbf
    file. My database now in mount stage, so i can not drop this tablespace using the following command.
    'DROP TABLESPACE EXAMPLE' ;
    message comes 'DATABASE NOT OPEN'.
    how could i solve this problem.

    Hi,
    Is this your test database?
    I recommend you backup your database in a state what it is now before procedding to any of the mentioned solution here.
    And before procedding below do you like to post where it shows that datafiles got corrupted?
    You need to offline your datafile at the mount stage.
    alter database datafile 'datafile name' offline
    alter database open
    drop tablespace <tablespace name> drop including contentsRegards

    PS: All the above commands are irrecoverable if you do not have a backup.

  • TSPITR - Recover a Dropped Tablespace aborting due dependency over XDB.

    I found an issue using TSPITR to Recover a Dropped Tablespace when XML DB (XDB) is installed on a different tablespace from "SYSAUX".
    During execution of TSPITR RMAN use Data Pump to export/import Tablespace Metadata as Data Pump has dependency over XDB views and related objects and XDB is installed on a set of tablespace not included on dummy database then EXPDP fails.
    Errors raised ORA-39123, ORA-00376, ORA-01110.
    I didn't found any limitation about XDB location on documentation or MoS.
    This looks like a Oracle Bug.
    See this:

    In my view, they (mean Oracle) need find way to include XDB Tablespace at DUMMY database only to export (EXPDP) Metadata purposes.
    If someone get a workaround for this error will be grateful.
    P.S: This is not a Production environment and will soon open a SR on Oracle Support.

    Hi Michael,
    I did not find solution to use TSPITR to recover dropped tablespace if XML DB is installed in a non-default tablespace (i.e outside of SYSAUX).
    As far I could understand, the only way to perform this RESTORE is using the old fashion. By creating clone database excluding all unnecessary tablespace, exporting and importing metadata from desired tablespace manually.
    Since Oracle has not solved the issue I created my own workaround.
    @All
    If someone is able to use TSPITR to restore dropped tablespace when XDB is installed in a non-default tablespace, please let me know!!!
    The procedure below is supported on All Oracle Version since 10.1 until 11.2.
    I DON'T RECOMMEND to create AUXILIARY (clone) database using the same server from TARGET because you can damage the TARGET database.
    On this example I'm using same server.
    See this example:
    ### ON TARGET DATABASE
    SQL> select count(1) SEG_COUNT from dba_segments where tablespace_name='SOE';
      SEG_COUNT
            32
    SQL> ! date
    Wed Dec 19 15:08:11 GMT-02:00 2012
    SQL> drop tablespace soe including contents and datafiles;
    Tablespace dropped.
    ### CHECK TABLESPACE TO BE EXCLUDED FROM RESTORE
    SQL> select tablespace_name
        from dba_tablespaces
         where tablespace_name not in ('SYSTEM','SYSAUX','UNDOTBS1','SOE','XDB','TEMP');

    drop table xxrp_acct_header
    create table xxrp_acct_header (
    Audit_Type number,
    Sql_Text varchar2(100)
    DECLARE
    acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','dbmsdev_ora_720942_1.xml')

    columns Audit_Type path 'Audit_Type'
    , Sql_Text path 'Sql_Text'
    END;
    COMMIT;
    select * from xxrp_acct_header
    However I am having problems with the <Audit .... > tag.
    If a strip the rest following Audit I can get it working but if I leave the part:

    the loading will not work.
    Any ideas?
    All will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    The XML has a default namespace, so you must declare it in XMLTable :

    '/Audit/AuditRecord'

    columns Audit_Type number        path 'Audit_Type'
    , Sql_Text   varchar2(100) path 'Sql_Text'
    Hi ,
    Can you please tell how can I load the data in the column "Extended_Timestamp" , I defined the column with datatype "TIMESTAMP" in the table but its giving error 'ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string" .
    I also tried to add a column with datatype "TIMESTAMP(6) with time Zone" but still giving the same error. What shld be the datatype of the column which will store the corresponding data from extended_timestamp or do I need to format the insert statement , if yes then how ?
    Thanks.

  • Move tables (some with LONG datatypes) across tablespaces in Oracle 9i

    I have a 14GB tablespace which about 3,000 tables (and only tables) in. Only 2.6GB is used so I would like to resize the tablespace to about 3GB initially.
    I moved the tables with "alter table <owner>.<tablename> move tablespace <tablespace>" and this worked for most of the tables but failed on some with this kind of error:
    alter table IFSAPP.COMMAND_SYS_BUFFER_TAB move tablespace IFSAPP_DATA_TEMP
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatypeI then moved the other tables back to the original a little frustrated.
    Further reading suggested exporting and importing the tables is the way to go.
    I prefer the alter table because Oracle manages the lock whilst it moves. If I export and import, the table could change in between, potentially ending with me importing an old copy, couldn't it? [It seems neigh on impossible to guarantee an available window to do much!]
    So I though I could you the alter table move for ALL tables and those that are left, use export/import, to minimise the risk.
    How should I proceed?
    1) Create TEMP_TABLESPACE as 3GB
    2) "alter table ... move tablespace ..." for all tables in ORIGINAL_TABLESPACE to TEMP_TABLESPACE
    3) For the remaining tables, individually:
    a) lock table (not sure how)
    b) export table: exp user/pass tables=tablename file=exp.dmp rows=yes
    c) drop table
    d) create table in TEMP_TABLESPACE*
    e) import table: imp user/pass tables=tablename
    * this means I need to know how to re-create the table. It also means views and indexes and packages are going to become invalid.
    4) drop tablespace ORIGINAL_TABLESPACE
    5) Create ORIGINAL_TABLESPACE as 3GB
    6) "alter table ... move tablespace ..." for all tables in TEMP_TABLESPACE to ORIGINAL_TABLESPACE
    7) For the remaining tables, individually:
    a) lock table (not sure how)
    b) export table: exp user/pass tables=tablename file=exp.dmp rows=yes
    c) drop table
    d) create table in ORIGINAL_TABLESPACE
    e) import table: imp user/pass tables=tablename
    This seems high risk and messy.
    Has anyone advice or tips to make it simpler?
    As it stands I am considering leaving alone, the risks worry me!
    Thanks

    Interesting idea.. so this would create a temporary table in the temporary tablespace.
    Rather than set the default tablespace, can I merely add the tablespace clause?
    COPY FROM user/password@database CREATE TmpTblName TABLESPACE TmpTablespace USING SELECT
    * FROM Table_name;
    Either way - can you confirm for each table, I would need to:
    COPY FROM user/password@database CREATE TmpTblName TABLESPACE temp_tablespace USING SELECT * FROM Table_name;
    At this point all indexes for these will be invalid.
    Drop tablespace ORIGINAL_TABLESPACE
    Create ORIGINAL_TABLESPACE as 3GB
    COPY FROM user/password@database CREATE TblName TABLESPACE original_tablespace USING SELECT * FROM TmpTable_name;
    rebuild any indexes which are unusable.
    recompile any invalid objects

  • What is the use of SYSAUX Tablespace in Oracle 10G

    Dear Experts,
    Please Tell me What is the use of SYSAUX Tablespace in Oracle 10G Because
    during Web Load Testing It is going to increase countinuosly.Although i am not using this with any tables.
    How Can I find out the what is gong on in this.
    Can I Remove this tablesspace and other non using Schemas like FLOWS_020100,MDSYS,OUTLN,DIP and TSMSYS etc.

    What is SYSAUX?
    The SYSAUX tablespace provides storage of non-sys-related tables and indexes that traditionally were placed in the SYSTEM tablespace. For example, the tables and indexes that were previously owned by the system user can now be specified for a SYSAUX tablespace. Unfortunately, Oracle still places the SCOTT schema and the other demonstration schemas in the SYSTEM tablespace. Go figure.
    The SYSAUX tablespace is specified with the CREATE DATABASE command. This is demonstrated in the example database creation script in Figure 1.1.
    CREATE DATABASE test
    MAXINSTANCES 1
    MAXLOGHISTORY 1
    MAXLOGFILES 5
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
    MAXDATAFILES 100
    DATAFILE '/usr/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/aultdb1/test/system01.dbf' SIZE 300M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10240K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
    EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL
    SYSAUX DATAFILE '/usr/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/aultdb1/test/sysaux01.dbf' SIZE 120M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10240K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
    DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP TEMPFILE '/usr/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/aultdb1/test/temp01.dbf' SIZE 20M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 640K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL
    UNDO TABLESPACE "UNDOTBS1" DATAFILE '/usr/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/aultdb1/test/undotbs01.dbf' SIZE 200M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 5120K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
    CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1
    NATIONAL CHARACTER SET AL16UTF16
    LOGFILE GROUP 1 ('/usr/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/aultdb1/test/redo01.log') SIZE 10240K,
    GROUP 2 ('/usr/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/aultdb1/test/redo02.log') SIZE 10240K,
    GROUP 3 ('/usr/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/aultdb1/test/redo03.log') SIZE 10240K
    USER SYS IDENTIFIED BY "password" USER SYSTEM IDENTIFIED BY "password";
    Oracle10g sysaux
    With the new SYSAUX tablespace, Oracle comes closer to providing all the needed tablespaces for a truly OFA-compliant database right out of the box. With just one CREATE DATABASE command we can specify the SYSTEM tablespace, the TEMPORARY tablespace, the AUXSYS tablespace, the default UNDO tablespace, and the redo logs.
    Of course, with the Oracle Managed Files option you can create an entire database with a single command, but the database created is not suitable for production use and is not OFA-compliant.
    The SYSAUX tablespace is required in all new 10g databases. Only the SYSAUX tablespace datafile location is specified. Oracle specifies the remainder of the tablespace properties including:
    online
    permanent
    read write
    extent managment local
    segment space management auto
    If a datafile is specified for the SYSTEM tablespace, then one must be specified for the SYSAUX tablespace as well. If one is not specified, then the CREATE DATABASE command will fail. The only exception is for an Oracle Managed File system.
    During any update of a database to Oracle Database 10g, a SYSAUX tablespace must be created or the upgrade will fail. The SYSAUX tablespace has the same security profile as the SYSTEM tablespace. However, loss of the SYSAUX tablespace will not result in a database crash, only the functional loss of the schemas it contains.

  • Snapshot too old error during drop tablespace

    Hi Experts
    When we are doing BW reorg and steps followed are
    1. created a newtablespace with source tablespace TABART class reference.
    2. Export the source tablespace to the filesystem level.
    3. DROP the source tablespace now.
    4. Rename the new tablespace to source tablespace name.
    5. Import
    Here in the third step i have received snapshot too old error.
    BR0301E SQL error -604 at location BrSqlExecute-1, SQL statement:
    '/* BRSPACE */ drop tablespace PSAPADSOLD including contents and datafiles cascade constraints'
    ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
    ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 0 with name "SYSTEM" too small
    BR1017E Execution of SQL statement 'drop tablespace PSAPADSOLD including contents and datafiles cascade constraints' failed
    so i tried to rename the tablespace and set to offline and tried to import only 240 tables were imported compared to 24057 tables.Still the PSAPADS - Source tablespace shows 65000 elements.
    my queries:
    1. After Export of the tablespace how come the Source tablespace retain the tables.
    2. why i could not able to drop the tablespace
    I had increased the UNDO_RETENTION to 86400 my oracle version is 10.2.04.
    Source table space PSAPADS is 80 GB and has only 30 GB data and the remaining are free.
    PSAPUNDO was 17GB in size.
    Kinldy suggest

    Hi Stefa
    Thanks for your reply.
    how to find the System undo is still active.How to track which Undo which is active and their steps.
    As per the metalink note our PSAPUNDO is Locally Managed Tablepsace hence the second workaround is applicable..
    How to validate this will not give a problem again while i am doing reorganization.
    When i checked a sap note 1039060 this note is applicable to windows i dont how it can be impleneted.
    Whether any merge fix will help on this

  • How to a drop tablespace ?????

    Hi Expert !!
    I am living my life in ORA errors. To describe the complete picture:
    1) We have a partitioned table whose partitions reside in multiple tablespaces.
    2) One of the datafiles got corrupted where one old partition resides.
    3) We are not interested in restoring the corrupt datafile and no more require that partition.
    4) How do I drop the partition or tablespace?
    Well, I have tried the following but no success:
    startup mount
    alter database datafile 'C:\MYDB\DATA\SALES_2005_TS1.DBF' offline;
    alter database open;
    conn sales/sales

    I did search on net and metalink but unfortunately couldn't find anything useful. I did try metalink note 267125.1 but again no luck.
    Could any of you shed some light on this?

  • How to drop Tablespace containg materilized views

    Hi friends,
    I am trying to drop a tablespace but gives an error
    SQL> drop tablespace tabs_name including contents and datafiles cascade constraints;
    drop tablespace tabs_name including contents and datafiles cascade constraints
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-23515: materialized views and/or their indices exist in the tablespace
    Please tell me the solution
    Regards,
    Neeraj Goel

    ORA-23515: materialized views and/or their indices exist in the tablespace
    Cause: An attempt was made to drop a tablespace which contains materialized views and/or their indices.
    Action: Drop the materialized views in this tablespace. Also, find indices belonging to materialized views in this tablespace and drop then. Then try dropping the tablespace.
    Examples
    Dropping a Materialized View: Examples The following statement drops the materialized view emp_data in the sample schema hr:
    DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW emp_data;
    The following statement drops the sales_by_month_by_state materialized view and the underlying table of the materialized view, unless the underlying table was registered in the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW statement with the ON PREBUILT TABLE clause:
    DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW sales_by_month_by_state;

  • Restore the dropped tablespace using RMAN?

    Hello,
    I have done a oracle tablespace re-org for PSAPPOOLD,PSAPPOOLI. Now I want to restore only the OLD PSAPPOOLD,PSAPPOOLI tablespace using TAPE backup via RMAN. 
    The probelm is I have dropped the old tablespace during re-org which is a part of the re-org. Is it possible to restore the dropped tablespace using RMAN?
    My Oracle version is 9.2.05
    if anyone has done this before, please share your valuable ideas.
    I wrote the below script for the restore.
    run {
    allocate channel ch1 type sbt_tape;
    startup nomount
    restore controlfile; -
    >(I guess,if I restore old control file, I might get old structure which help the restore of TB)
    alter database mount ;
    restore tablespace PSAPPOOLD,PSAPPOOLI;
    recover tablespace PSAPPOOLD,PSAPPOOLI;;
    release channel ch1;

    Hello Arjun,
    why would you want to do this?
    What is is you want to achieve by this action?
    BTW: it's not possible to do that.
    Check [Performing RMAN Tablespace Point-in-Time Recovery|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmtspit.htm].
    You want a "Tablespace point in time recovery" (TSPITR) for a dropped tablespace and that is just not possible with RMAN.
    So, the easiest way for you to get this tablespace back would be to restore and recover the database to a different host.
    Ah, while we're at it: using RMAN outside the BRTOOLS is not supported by SAP - so you better be a wiz with it because there won't be much help in case anything does not work.
    regards,
    Lars

  • Automatic deleting of datafiles after DROP TABLESPACE

    Lazy junior dba question. How can i order oracle to delete files automaticly after deleting them from control file (like drop tablespace command)?
    What technology/approach should I use? Can ASM help me?
    Thnaks.

    Well, ideally after issuing
    DROP TABLESPACE <TBS_NAME> INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES; the datafiles corresponding to that tablespace should get deleted automatically. Although, in my case, sometimes it gets deleted automatically, but sometimes it doesn't(Windows Server).
    Comments from others will be useful.
