Drop more tables

Question

Hi,
Knows someone how can I drop more table, e.g. all tables that start with A and how can I add two columns to all tables that start with B?
Thank you

Answer 1

You need to write a script for that, using dynamic SQL.
small example:
create or replace procedure my_ddl_proc
(p_tab_name in VARCHAR2)
is
begin
for rec in
(select table_name from user_tables where table_name like UPPER(p_tab_name))
loop
execute immediate 'DROP TABLE '||rec.table_name;
end loop;
end;
