Hi there Sorry but don't work. If I try and drop the tablespace I get the following error: SQL> drop tablespace TS_DAILY1 including contents ; drop tablespace TS_DAILY1 including contents * ERROR at line 1: ORA-14407: partitioned table contains subpartitions in a different tablespace The tables are spread over tablespaces - partitioned as range and sub partitioned as hash. Also=20 You can not do a alter table <table> drop subpartition <partition_name> if this partition is of type hash.

About 10 tablespace was located on the disc. The tablespace had in them partitioned tables by list and then sub portioned by hash. I am having problems dropping the tablespaces including contents since it picks up that it is a partitioned table that contains segments in other tablespaces. I have tried dropping the user with cascade but this tries to access the actual datafiles which is of course not reachable.
