Jared / Everyone

Many Thanks for the input.
One quick question, the situation makes me nervous. Can I kill the drop
session? Will the user still be there?

Regards
Denham

Recursive SQL, specifically, transferring sys.uet$ to sys.fet$.

Drop all the users tables individually.

eg.

set echo off term off pagesize 0 linesize 200

define dropuser=3D'USERNAME'

select 'drop table &&dropuser.' || table_name || ' cascade constraints;'
from dba_tables where owner=3Dupper('&&dropuser') /


use the resulting generated SQL to drop the users tables, then drop the
user.

Jared
