Hello,

We are hitting a problem as described in oracle note: 148740.1. The workaround Oracle has suggested is to issue: "alter table <tabname> drop unused columns".

My question is, is there any danger in issueing this command ?. Will it drop all empty columns from the table ?. or will it only drop columns which have been previously marked as unused. In our case we haven't marked any columns as unused.

Any clarification of the above command and dangers would be much appreciated

Rgds
