Re: help! cannot drop a table!

You wrote that the table is empty.
Can you do
select count(*) from user_extents where segment_name='INCARDDAYSTAT'; Is it very high ? If so, the table grew too large when all records are deleted. Try to truncate the table before dropping. I think you are connecting the session afresh before dropping table. You can select statistic#,value from v$sesstat where statistic# in (2,3) for your session when the drop table is issued and monitor the growth of Open cursors from another (DBA) session.
