RE: Quick way to drop all objects in a schema

I tend to do something like the following (typed off top of head - there may be typos!)

begin
  FOR x IN (SELECT table_name FROM user_tables) loop     execute immediate 'drop table ' || x.table_name || ' cascade constraints purge';
  end loop;
end;
/

begin
  FOR x IN (SELECT object_type, object_name FROM user_objects

            WHERE object_type NOT IN ('PACKAGE BODY','UNKNOWN','DATABASE LINK')) loop

    execute immediate 'drop ' || x.object_type || ' ' || x.object_name;   end loop;
end;
/

The reason I don't drop database links is purely because we use the above code to drop a test schema before refreshing it from live. We do not want the database links to be recreated pointing at whatever other production databases we use! We want to keep them pointing at test databases.

We don't drop the schema because that messes up privs granted TO the schema from other schemas that we are not refreshing. Grants made FROM the test schema are refreshed when we import, so that's not a worry.

HTH Cheers,
Norm.
