Drop tablespace

Dear all,
I want to know that how long (estimate) am I need to drop a tablespace for about 15G datafile with Sun Solaris E450. Will it need a very long time to do it?
Thank you

Droping of tablespace mainly depends how many objects in the tablespace and no of extents created for each objects.
It is least affected by the size of the datafile. Time required to delete the file can be avoided.
drop tablespace <tablespace_name> including contents;
(please do not use "including contents and files" clause here. You can manually delete the datafiles);

  • 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.

    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');

    Have you tried dropping the objects individually? You can see which objects still belong to this tablespace by using the DBA_SEGMENTS view as shown below:
    SELECT OWNER, SEGMENT_NAME, SEGMENT_TYPE, TABLESPACE_NAME
    FROM DBA_SEGMENTS
    WHERE TABLESPACE_NAME=tbs_tp2;HTH!

  • Problem while dropping tablespace

    Hi all,
    I am getting following error while i am trying to drop tablespace
    ORA-02449: unique/primary keys in table referenced by foreign keys.
    I am using followin statement to drop tablespace;
    drop tablespace QAREF430 including contents and datafiles;
    wat might be the problem?
    Thanks.

    wat might be the problem?You have some referential integrity constraints, outside QAREF430 tablespace, pointing to a table inside QAREF430 tablespace. Try
    drop tablespace QAREF430 including contents and datafiles cascade constraints;

  • 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).

  • Incomplete Recovery After Drop Tablespace.

    Hi...some technical help required.
    I was trying a hands-on for incomplete recovery. That is drop a tablespace and then retrieve back until 1 second before drop statement.
    The Steps were like this...
    1) Shutdown Immediate;
    2) Copy all *.ctl, *.dbf, logfiles into a different folder <nis_back>
    3) Startup;
    4) Enter 3-4 Records and Commit. Table is in <USER> Tablespace.
    5) 3 times "alter system switch logfile;"
    5) drop tablespace users;
    6) shutdown;
    7) Check the Alter Log and find the time when tablespace dropped.
    Suppose time when dropped is -> 21-Aug 10:30:45 AM. (HH:MM:SS)
    7) copy back only *.dbf, *.ctl files from backup folder <nis_back>
    8) startup mount;
    9) alter database recover automatic until time '2002-08-21:10:30:40';
    10) <<Statement Process>> Message Comes.
    11) alter database open resetlogs;
    When I open the table into which I inserted records just before dropping the tablespace I dont see the records (Inseretd in Step - 4) but the tablespace is back.
    Now My Concern -> Why did the 3-4 record which I inserted in step 4 did not get restored from the archieve log ?
    Hope to hear from you all soon.
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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
    Regards
    Bala

    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
    Regards

       Can you help me please to fix this issue and to understand why it's occured.

    Hi,
    If you check the alert log you will get message similar to
    Recovery deleting file #7:'<Oracle_Home>/db/dbs/UNNAMED00007' from controlfile.
    Now you have 2 option
    1. If you have backup of that tablespace TS1  then you can restore and recover it
    If you don't need that tablespace then you offline drop that datafile 7 . Open the database in resetlogs mode and then drop tablespace TS1
    Thank you

  • Dropping tablespace for a partitionned table

    Hi all,
    I have a table partitionned and I want to drop the tablespace for a specific partition. So what happen in the table if I drop one tablespace with a commande drop tablespace tbs including contents and datafiles;
    Does the index unusable in this table?

    No, you can not drop a tablespace which contains tables whose partitions are not completely contained in this tablespace.

  • Secure drop Tablespace without any dictionary reference

    Hi all,
    I need some help to drop tablespaces without any object reference to them or without any segment into them.
    I wrote below select statement to obtain those tablespaces:
    select tablespace_name, sum(cnt) cnt from
    select tablespace_name, count(0) cnt from dba_tables group by tablespace_name
    union all
    select tablespace_name, count(0) cnt from dba_indexes group by tablespace_name

    union all
    select tablespace_name, 0 cnt from dba_tablespaces
    group by tablespace_name
    order by cnt
    /Can you give any advise if I am missing another type of segment?

  • 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;

  • 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;

  • Dropping Tablespaces  ORA 23515 Error

    Hi
    I am trying to drop a tablespace

    I get ORA 23515 Error " Materialized Views and /or their indices exist in the Tablespace"
    How to find out which Materialized views and /or indices are to be dropped? Is there a way to find them?

    You can find materialized views from the database using the following select
    select object_name,object_type from dba_objects where owner='xxxxx' and object_type='MATERIALIZED VIEW';
    and then drop the MV using command
    drop materialized view xxxxx;
