Drop table to specific account.

Hello All,
I am using 11.2.0.3.0 on linux box. I have a requirement to given drop tables privilege to specific account. for example , I need to give ability to user c to drop tables from user A and user B schema. I know, "drop any table" would do the trick. but , is there anyway around? I mean, by creating trigger or some other methods.
thanks a lot for all the help in advance.

thanks a lot for all the help in advance.I am not sure that you can give users to drop tables in other schemas . Only the creator has the privilege of teh drop table and the other option is drop any table . So you may want to tell us that why you want to do this?

DROP TABLE works through SSMS but not via T-SQL Query

Hello All,
I am trying to drop a number of tables (1,000+) in a particular database by scripting the actions in T-SQL. When I run the query I get error 3701 on every table which points to a permissions issue. However, I am able to delete tables one by one using
the tree-view in the SSMS Object Explorer.
1. I have tried starting query sessions with both the DBO of the database and the SA account to no avail. (Both had the sysadmin role when I tried.)
2. Both the DBO account and the SA account are able to drop tables using SSMS Object Explorer.
Do I need a specific GRANT of permissions to use T-SQL versus SSMS or am I missing something even more fundamental?
TIA, Simon

3701 = ...does not exist or you don't have permission.
Most of the time it means the former. So there are probably some problems in your DROP TABLE statements. Since there is a whole lot about Navision in the script, I decline from trying to figure out what. But I encourage you to study the PRINT statements.
I think that it would be a good idea to include the schema name, in cases these tables are not in dbo after all.
Note: rather than writing:
   SET @STATEMENT = 'DROP ' + @OBJECT_TYPE + ' [' + @OBJECT_NAME_BARE + ']';
write:
   SET @STATEMENT = 'DROP ' + @OBJECT_TYPE + quotename(@OBJECT_NAME_BARE)
Somewhat briefer. And it works also when the object name includes a right bracket.
sp_sqlexec is undocumented, use sp_executesql instead.

Drop Table, User, Drop * ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1

Greetingss,
Installed 11.2.0.1 several months ago and upgraded to 11.2.0.2 a month ago without issues. However prior to upgrade I was able to drop schema objects. Since upgrade I do not recall specifically dropping any objects. However, now trying to drop a few objects and discovered all drops attempted are failing, i.e. tables, packages, users, function, views, directories, etc. Create or Replace and Alter all appear to still work.

Dropping tables in Oracle 10g Express

I have several schemas created in my oracle express db. And I have created 1 user, 'met' that has privs to do anything in any schema.
If user met drops a table in the acct schema, it does not go in the acct recyclebin like I would think. It is renamed BIN$...... and left in the acct schema.
If acct drops a table in the acct schema, then it shows up in the acct recyclebin as the same name it had in the schema.
We have 40+ schemas, and I don't want to login as each individual user to manage there tables, I want one account to manage them all, but do not want to leave alot of BIN$..... tables in the schema when I drop a table.
I know I can purge them, and remove them for good, but If I want to drop a table, and have a backup for a while, I want it to be in the recyclebin.
Anyway to fix this, or is this just how it work?

You may want to use the purge command:
PURGE recyclebin;
Or disable the recycle bin parameter, which will diables the flashback feature and won't allow you to recover any mistakenly dropped table:
RECYCLE_BIN=FALSE;
Regards.

Drop table for multiple tables

Hi All,
I want to drop multiple tables in one drop statement.
Can it be possible?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
CASCADE CONSTRAINTS must be taken into account. E.g.,
set pages 0
spool c:\windows\temp\drop.sql
select 'DROP TABLE '||TABLE_NAME || ' CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;' from user_tables WHERE table_name like 'ZTEST%';
spool off
@c:\windows\temp\drop.sqlHere is a test case:
SQL> set echo off
SQL> create table ztest1 (ff NUMBER PRIMARY KEY);
Table created
SQL> insert into ztest1 select 1 from dual;
1 row inserted
SQL> create table ztest2 (gg NUMBER, constraint gg_fk foreign key (gg) references ztest1(ff));
Table created
SQL> insert into ztest2 select 1 from dual;
1 row inserted
SQL> drop table ztest1;
drop table ztest1
ORA-02449: unique/primary keys in table referenced by foreign keys
SQL>
SQL> set pages 0
SQL> spool c:\windows\temp\drop.sql
Started spooling to c:\windows\temp\drop.sql
SQL> select 'DROP TABLE '||TABLE_NAME || ' CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;' from user_tables WHERE table_name like 'ZTEST%';

My goal for all this is.
To run a main set of quiries to get the data formated the way I want, then for serveral worksheets I will do quries off the main query to get the specific data. So using Temp tables may not always be the way I need to go.
The error when running the Main query is this (I think this may be because it does not return data, but not sure).
"The Query did not run, or the database table could not be opened.
Check the database server or contract your database administrator. Make sure the external database is available and hasn't been moved or reorganized, then try the operation again."Well, that's not much information to go on. :-/
a) Running queries off a main query is tantamount to a query loop and sounds like it'll be slow. If you really can't do it all in a single query then fair enough, but always aim to incorporate everything in a 1 hit query if you can so that all the work is done in the SQL engine, which is the best place for processing data.
b) The fact the "query did not run", I'm guessing is referring to you calling that procedure you've shown us? (If not show us what it is doing at the time). If that procedure is not running you need to determine why not, so perhaps add some debug messages (log them to a table or something with an autonomous transaction procedure) and see how far it gets. It could be something as simple as needing explicitly granted permissions on those tables rather than relying on role based grants. It could also be to do with dependencies, because dropping tables at run time can render other things "invalid", which is why Oracle provides Global Temporary Tables so you don't have to create and drop tables at run time.

Hi user631592 ;-)
You can't used directly a DDL statment.
But you can use an EXECUTE IMMEDIATE in your process.
SO
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ' DROP TABLE STATPHI_595730051';

Drop table if exists in sql statement

Oracle: 10G
Is there a way to check if table exist and then only drop table. Something like:
drop table (select table_name from user_tables where lower(table_name) = 'o2i_filing_dest')

As already suggested, you could e.g. use an anonymous PL/SQL block as part of your SQL script, e.g. something like that:
set echo on
spool <your_log_file>
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT FAILURE
DECLARE
PROCEDURE EXEC_DONT_FAIL( P_CMD IN VARCHAR2 ) IS
    e_table_or_view_does_not_exist exception;
    pragma exception_init(e_table_or_view_does_not_exist, -942);
    e_type_does_not_exist exception;
    pragma exception_init(e_type_does_not_exist, -4043);
    e_sequence_does_not_exist exception;
    pragma exception_init(e_sequence_does_not_exist, -2289);
BEGIN
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE P_CMD;
EXCEPTION
WHEN e_table_or_view_does_not_exist OR e_type_does_not_exist OR e_sequence_does_not_exist THEN
      NULL;
END;
BEGIN
EXEC_DONT_FAIL('drop type <type_name1> force');
EXEC_DONT_FAIL('drop view <view_name1>');
EXEC_DONT_FAIL('drop table <table_name1> purge');
EXEC_DONT_FAIL('drop sequence <seq_name1>');
END;
CREATE TABLE ...Note that the literals in angle brackets are just placeholders for demonstration purposes, you need to use your actual object names/file names there.
Of course you could also use a FOR ... LOOP in the PL/SQL block that queries e.g. USER_OBJECTS to find out which objects to drop.
That way it is ensured that only expected exceptions will be ignored but all others will raise and stop your script in that case.

Dear All,
I created one table like
create table cls_lrn_tab_unique (F_no number unique UK_F_NO );
after performing some operations I want to delete the same.
At that time i got following error. Please help me and tell what is the reason for the error.
ORA-00604 error occured at recursive level1
ORA-20123 Insufficient privileges: you cannot drop table cls_lrn_tab_unique TABLE,
ORA-06512 at line no 2
Thanks and Regards

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?

Can database activities of creating or dropping tables/packages be tracked in the security/system logs

Can database activity like create or drop tables and packages be tracked in the security/system logs of windows 2003 server for the oracle database 10.2.0.4?
Can purging of oracle log, n case the file has become big or even tempered be tracked in the security/system logs of windows 2003 server for the oracle database 10.2.0.4?

Your first question is easy, you configure audit to log to the OS audit trail with
alter system set audit_trail=os scope=spfile;
and then enable audit for whatever actions you want to capture. All documented in the Security Guide.
Your second question makes no sense unless you explain what you mean by "oracle log".

Drop table

I created a table with tablename USER using an access to oracle converter. now I am unable to drop the table, it says invalid table name.

These are keyword and NOT at all recommended as table name. You can find those types of words by querying
SELECT * FROM v$reserved_words ORDER BY 1 and avoid use of these words as object name.
However. Now you can enclose the name with a double quote to overcome the situation.
DROP TABLE "USER"

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

Can I run a query to see if there are any triggeres on the table?
EDIT: Ok it looks like no triggers:

How to restore a dropped table when recycle bin is purged??

how to restore a dropped table when recycle bin is purged??

You should be asking general database questions in General Questions - and not in the Objects forum.
Restoring a dropped table means restoring a logical or physical backup of that table.

Drop table to specific account.
