SLOW Drop user Hello Folks, We have a legacy system on Oracle 7.3.4 on NT. I am dropping the user with cascade, but it is extremely slow??? About 2GB in 5hrs? and there are still 10GB to go. Can anyone tell me why? Can I stop it and restart it for beter performance? I am doing the drop from a client machine, could this be the problem? Any help would be appreciated!
