RE: Drop user fails with ORA-01418

Chadi:

I've seen this error on 10.1.0.3 on a newly installed database on SLES9, I ran through the build process and found it originated in the XDB_PROTOCOL.SQL build script. At the time 10g wasn't certified on SLES9 so the answer was, "You're on your own". I've been working on other projects since, but recently I checked and SLES9 has appeared on the certified OS list so maybe I can try again and see if there is an answer to my problem.

Chadi,

Did the user get dropped?

If not, can you go through and drop the users objects manually? And then
drop the user? It is obviously an Oracle problem. But if you can find a
workaround, then you can chalk it up to experience.

Personally, I do not drop a user that has a bunch of objects. I prefer to
drop all the objects first and then the user just for this reason.

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty sure, many had run into this problem before and can provide some
help. When I try to drop one of my user, I get the following:

SQL> drop user theuser cascade;

ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-01418: specified index does not exist

What index it's talking about, metalink says this is related to some data
corruption in data dictionnary, but doesn't provide a solution.

We run Oracle Database 10g Release 10.1.0.3.0 on Linux.

Thank you.
