Hi sangeetha,

Well, hope that u want to know all in big things in one struch ;-).

Ok, here are my answers to you.

  1. If the tablespace constains objects, you should not drop it normally, however you can do it by using the clause "include contents" in the drop tablespace command.

This case, the tablespace itself removed, but still the user will exists with the same tablespace. But you cannt create any objects under that user, since tablespace is not available.

2) No. It's not necessary to create rollback segment( there is no such segment named Roll), every time you create any tablespace. Usually, there should a one tablespace space for rollback segments, so whenever required you can create it.

3) Myself known examples are, 
a) External tables: you can query on a flat datafile from Oracle, if u created external tables.
b) Merge statment:, Suppose you want to insert into emp table using other table if the rows are not exists in emp
or else you want to update it. In such a case, the merge statement is useful for u. More than this many new features are there.... so just gothrough the docs for it.

4) Oracle 7.3 was RDBMS, Oracle 8 was ORDBMS,  Oracle8i is Internet based,(JAVA enables DB server), This is very short difference between oracle versions, as remaing gothrough oracle docs.

HTH. Rgds,
Nirmal.
