Re: Question on dropping tablespace and transportable tablespaces

Do you have the option of using partitioning? The combination off TTS and partitioning would provide a nice solution for what you want where you could "stage" the tables in the query database and then perform a partition exchange operation when required.

This would reduce the time that the users had to wait for the data to be available as you would not be dependent on the TTS operation completing.

They want to present the users with snapshots of the data that they control.  I was thinking it might be possible to do somehow using flashback, but have not looked into it in detail yet
