How do i drop my table

Hi guys ,
am trying to drop my table . but it is used by another user . am getting error message.
can give a suggession .
Edited by: Balajiraam on Mar 2, 2011 1:33 AM

Hi,
You cannot drop the table without the other user completing the transaction on the table. So the user's transaction has to be completed before you drop the table. As hoek said the user should either commit or rollback the transaction.

How could I drop temporary table in preserve rows?

Hi,
I created a global temporary table test with the option, on commit preserve rows.
I try to drop it with another session but I can't, I always have the error message :
ORA-14452. So what can I do?
Thanks.

We cannot drop a temporary table if a session is using it. This means once a session has inserted data into it we cannot drop the table until that session either commits or exits (depending on whether the table is of the type PRESERVE ROWS). You can see this by looking in v$lock.
If you quit out of your first session the second session will be able to drop the table.
Cheers, APC

Ora-00600 error when dropping a table

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
When I tried to drop a table, I got 600 error:
SQL> desc DEV.ATTR_IDX$EX
Name Null? Type

COL1 NUMBER
SQL> show user;
USER is "DEV"
SQL> select count(*) from DEV.ATTR_IDX$EX;

ERROR at line 1:

I guess this is because it had a parent table, which I dropped (I used "drop table <parent_table>", and it did not give me error, very strange).
SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE','ATTR_IDX$EX') from dual;

Try to drop FK constraints yields the same error.
So now how can I drop this table table, any work around?
Thanks.

This is a bug. There is no Patch avaialble for this yet. This error is seen where recyclebin is enabled. Possible workaround is to disable the recyclebin.
This happens with the dictionary corruption due to inconsistency between obj$ and seg$.
This is a correct answer but still i would suggest to contact Oracle support.

Dropping Rollback table space in export dump and use the undo table space

Hi,
I want to upgrade my DB which is on 9.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.1.
I have done an export.
In order to import the DB I have created all the table spaces identical that of my export copy. While creating the Blank database I have already created Undo table space. In the exported DB I have a table space called rollback, how can I drop this table space and use undo table space. I believe this is the recommended table space that should be used in new releases
Thank you

Very briefly, these are the steps you will need to perform:
1) Create an UNDO tablespace the same size as the Rollback tablespace, e.g.:
CREATE UNDO TABLESPACE undo
DATAFILE ‘/ora/$ORACLE_SID/001/oradata/$ORACLE_SID/undo_01.dbf’ size 1000M;
2) Add the initialisation parameters UNDO_MANAGEMENT=AUTO, UNDO_TABLESPACE=UNDO. Omit the UNDO_RETENTION parameter unless it is to be set to a value other then the default of 900 (seconds)
3) Remove the initialisation parameter ROLLBACK_SEGMENTS
4) Bounce the database to bring the new parameters into effect.
5) Drop the Rollback tablespace including contents and datafiles
Cheers,
Jason

Drop more tables

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

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;

Not drop a table

Maybe this is a simple problem. I attempt to drop a table, but I fail. Although I quit the SQLPlus environment, I still cannot create a table with the same name next time. Please tell me how to completely drop the table.

What is the error you receive when you try to drop the table? The only thing I can think of off of top of my head is that you have foreign key constraints referencing the table in question. If this is the case, you need to do a: drop table TABLE_NAME cascade constraints. This will drop the table and all foreign key constraints that reference the table.

How to put drop down in table control ?

Hi All,
I m writing one module pool program to edit table.
I want dropdown to one field so that user can select the appropriate value. And also I want to save that record.
So how to get the dropdown list and after editing that record how to save that in the database?
Thanx in advance.
-Umesh

Hi Umesh,
Please check this demo program RSDEMO_TABLE_CONTROL on how to add drop down list in table control. Also check this program DEMO_DYNPRO_TABCONT_LOOP_AT as well.
To save to database you can code something like this in PAI.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100 INPUT.
SAVE_OK = OK_CODE.
CLEAR OK_CODE.
CASE SAVE_OK.
    WHEN 'SAVE'.
      MODIFY <database table> FROM TABLE <table control>.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      ELSE.
      ENDIF.
    WHEN OTHERS.
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE.                 " USER_COMMAND_0100 INPUT
Hope this will help.

How to drop multiple tables in SQL Workshop

Hi,
I'd like to drop multiple tables in one time but
SQL command processor returnes error message: ORA-00933.
Could you please tell me how to drop multiple tables in
one time?
My trial was follows
Drop table "table1", "table2"
Result
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
Regards,
Hideki Sakamoto

Hideki,
SQL syntax permits you to specify only one table in a DROP TABLE command.
The SQL Command Processor permits you to run one statement or PL/SQL block per submission.
So there are at least two ways you can do this. You could either upload or create a SQL script in SQL Workshop which contains your multiple statements:
drop table "table1"
drop table "table2"
or you could execute a single anonymous PL/SQL block in the SQL Command Processor, as in:
begin
execute immediate 'drop table "table1"';
execute immediate 'drop table "table2"';
end;

How to drop the tables (articles) in subscription database MERGE replication.

We have configured the merge replication from publication server to subscription server,

1<sup>st</sup> I unselected those tables (articles) in publication, but not working.
Could please tell me the how to remove those tables in subscription database.

Ok that is normal, dont worry, if you mistakenly chosen few tables, just add the new tables
that you forgot it, just make click on the publication, you only have to Re-run the snapshot agent, i mean you must generate another snapshot and then synchronice with your suscriber, and then you will not need DROP the tables on the suscriber, if you have
troubles yet, please post imagens to help you more !
Thanks and regards.

How to drop multiple tables in one statement

I could used to run the below syntax to drop multiple tables in MS SQL, but it doesn't work in Oracle seems like, I am using free Oracle SQL Developer. Not a big deal but wanna know if this can be done. Thanks,
DROP TABLE A, B, C, D, F

I'm not so sure in 1 select statement is it possible or not but you can try to use in this manner to see what happens ->
drop table &tab;
Enter value for tab: A
Table A Successfully dropped.
Enter value for tab: B
Table B Successfully dropped.Regards.

How to drop all tables in perticular schema??

Hi,
I am new in oracle.
I want to drop all tables in one perticular schema,
Please tell me solution.
PratHamesh

If your few of your tables have referential intigrity constraints and trying to drop master table whithout droping child table first, oracle will produce an error.
Better option would be to drop the entire schema and then create a new schema with the same name.
on sql plus.
set long size 20000
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('USER','USERNAME') from dual;
--then save the above output to create the user later.
drop username cascade
use the above saved script to create the user again.

How to drop a table in another schema.

Hi there, was looking to drop a table that is currently created under GL schema when consolidation process is done. These tables are kind of temporary and stay there if consolidation process doesn't complete successfully.
So, I'm try to execute a script that would drop the table but the particularity is that this drop isn'T executed by apps but with bolinf (custom user).
So, while trying to delete it with bolinf, I always get an error message that the table doesn't exists or so.
Here's the code
r_gl_int_ctrl.INTERFACE_TABLE_NAME is retreived from gl_interface_control table and from INTERFACE_TABLE_NAME column.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE GL.' || r_gl_int_ctrl.INTERFACE_TABLE_NAME;
and this generates the following error : ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
R12.0.6
RDBMS 10.2.0.3.0
Custom package under bolinf schema is trying to drop GL.GL_CONS_INTERFACE_38190 and it's not working. Nevertheless, if I install this package under apps, table get dropped.
Is there a way that I can drop a GL table like GL.GL_CONS_INTERFACE_38190 from BOLINF schema ? If so, what privileges/grant should user BOLINF have in order to drop this table from a GL Schema ?
Thank you.

Hi;
You need to give drop grant to your user.Easy way is to give
GRANT DROP ANY TABLE TO USER; << but its mean it will give drop grant for all table.
Also see:
OERR: ORA 942 "table or view does not exist" [ID 18536.1]
