Another 'problem' with 10.1.0.3 is with dropping tables and then recreating 
them.

I was supporting an application that was written to use Oracle, DB2 or
SQL*Server for the database and there was a generic script to drop and
recreate the database and populate with seed data.

Shortly after they decided to support 10g, I got a call on the weekend from
the developers saying the refresh script did not work. My memory is a little
fuzzy, but I think the issue was that the indexes (or was it primary keys) did
not get "moved to recycle bin" fast enough and you would get an error saying
that the index already existed when the script recreated the table.

BTW, when was it that all these fancy new features were going to eliminate the
need for DBAs?
