Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Removing datafiles
It is not a very difficult process
One thing you need to do is make a back before doing a drop user/tablespace= .
If you have any foreign keys pointing to any tables you are about to drop =
make sure you disable them before dropping the tables. Enable them after =
the tables are imported.
Any objects that become invalid after the import should be recompiled.
I haven't heard of : Alter Tablespace ... Remove datafile
You can drop the tablespace rather :
drop tablepace tablespace_name;
Then recreate the tablespace with proper sizing.
You can then import the data without any problems.

Hi all,
Yeah yeah, I should know this, but I'm just out of a two weeks 'Forget it
all'-vacation, and I simply can't remember and don't have the necessary =
docs
to find it.
There are several tablespaces that I want to export, drop everything and recreate with an import.
Dropping everything is very easy using : Drop User ... cascade ; When the datafiles are empty, I want to remove them so that I can replace and resize them more appropriately.
Is it as simple is I think it is : Alter Tablespace ... Remove datafile '...' ;
Thanx for your attention!
Greets,
Kirsten
