Re: drop user user_name cascade - question

Select segment_name from dba_segments where owner='FRED';

Then I would pick one segment, and drop that one segment. Then I would repeat for another segment.

If individual segment drops are working correctly, then there's a good chance that a particular segment is throwing a wobbly, and that might be because it has a bazillion extents (select segment_name, count(*) from dba_extents group by owner having owner='FRED'; to check). It could also be that you're running into trouble performing the recursive SQL needed by Oracle to work out what to drop, and maybe a bigger shared pool might help that. It could also be half a dozen other things, I'm afraid.

I've been known to drop 300 tables individually, successfuly, where a drop user cascade failed to work.
