Janet,

#1.

While logged on as the User, spool the output of the following statement to a file, then run the file. You'll probably have to run it several times to successively drop "child" tables before dropping their "parents". Ignore the errors and keep running it until you can re-execute the statement below and get "no rows selected".

 Select 'Drop '      ||
         Object_Type || ' '
         Object_Name || ';'

From User_Objects
;

#2.

I believe that running Export as System and using the Owner parameter will export the User definition, as well as its objects, but I can't remember that I've done it for a long while, so I may be wrong - try it and see.

Hi,

As you know, drop user ... cascade drops all the schema's object and the user, anybody knows a handy way to drop only the objects but keep the user?

Also, when I export a schema from db1 and try to import into db2. Since the schema does NOT exist on db2, I got error "user not exist", so I have to create that user first before importing. Is there any way to import both the missing user and that user's objects?

Thank you.

Janet
