Hi All, I am trying to drop a datafile which is empty and contains no extent and is not the first datafile of the tablespace either. I am getting the following error when I execute the drop command: alter tablespace <TS_NAME> drop datafile 'DATAFILE_NAME' ; alter tablespace .... drop datafile .... * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-01426: numeric overflow The DB version is 11.1.0.7. Has anyone seen this issue and knows how to resolve it? Thanks Amir -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
