You guessed and hoped you were close enough. If you were wrong, you
repeated the exercise until you found the point in time before the drop
I'm not sure logminer will show you the drop table in any case. At
least not explicitly as drop table is NOT a logged operation. You might
see the effect of it on fet$ and uet$ in that extents would be
released back to the tablespace but if you have locally managed
tablespaces you'd have to search for the update to tab$ to find the
time.
