Re: Renaming a Tablespace in 8i & 9i

This doesn't sound like a fun project. First off, you can look for objects in dba_objects or if even sys.obj$ to find what exists in the tablespace. Not materialized views are going to be in the SYSTEM tablespace. If you followed standard practice, real indexes (as opposed to IOTs) will be in another tablespace. They will get dropped once you drop the underlying tables. And they'll become invalid during the move. You're going to have to develop not only a list of what's in the tablespace but a list of dependencies. Hmm. Was it 8i or 9i where the dependencies view disappeared and you had to run utrlrp.sql to recompile invalid objects after an upgrade? It's been a while.

Anyway, your biggest problem will be the need to re-validate/re-compile and then the loss of dependent objects, IMO.
