did they tell you

source$ and i_source1 are objects that are created at database creation and are *not* exported by exp (unless you explicity tell it to using tables=).

this won't happen otherwise...

please don't do that to ANY of the objects owned by SYS or you stand a very good chance of trashing the instance. very dangerous. if the instance had gone down when you dropped source$ and before you recreated it -- who knows what might have happened.

(btw: source$ is frequently chained, especially in databases with 2k block sizes, since the size of a row is allowed to be bigger then the blocksize)
