Re: How can I drop a database?

Hi

Unless I am missing something, the simple answer to this is to run up the database configuration assistant (dbca on unix) and select "Delete Database" then choose the database from the list. Job done. Same tool to create a new database.

Though as Howard suggests, if you fancy a bit of on the job training then have a go at moving things around.
