User cannot dropped after run "Kill Session" command

Question

Hi ,
I’m facing problem with oracle user,
Oracle 10G R(2).Windows Xp
Application in .NET
1)I create user:
2)Then I check current session using this select”
"SELECT SID, SERIAL# FROM V$SESSION WHERE UserName =
3)Then I execute this statement from application”
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '{sid},{serialno}' IMMEDIATE”
4)In our scenario user is no more connected.
5) Now when we run below this statement from application oracle gives an error”CANNOT DROP THE USER THAT IS CURRENTLY CONNECTED”
DROP USER {0} CASCADE
Please advice.

application oracle gives an error”CANNOT DROP THE
USER THAT IS CURRENTLY CONNECTED” So the user is still connected.
Which user are you trying to drop? Yourself?
Again, please post the complete command.

Please advice.
Faheem LatifMy advice is you either provide sufficient detail, including all commands, and stop relying on crystal balls and fortunetellers.
No one here was looking over your shoulder, so no one can tell what happened, without you providing sufficient clues. I agree with you this is cumbersome, and doesn't comply with your custom to dump everything here, not doing any research yourself.
