Dear gurus !
What is the fastest way to drop tablespace , please ? I issued "drop tablespace .... including contents" command and it runs for some 5 hours already .
The tablespace has 6 datafiles totalling ~ 13GB space. While trying to look why does it take too long , i discovered that there is a heavy activity going on under user SYS. I see a lot of rollback generated , and the most common DML is "delete from fet$ ....." .
Ok, i understand that the rollback is generated for data dictionary changes , space must be reclaimed from fet$ , since the datafiles that comprise my tablespace are going offline , but why in the world does it take half a day ?????
And how can i speed it up , please ?
Thanks a lot !
DBAndrey
