Deleting tables from a schema

[dba_essex]

What's the command for deleting all data from a schema? I don't want to drop the schema.

Thanks

I don't think you can just drop the objects of a schema (unless you write a script to list them all with the corresponding drop statements) with a single command execpt DROP USER

try this

spool drop objects
set head off
select 'drop ' || object_type ||' '|| object_name||';' from user_objects where object_type in ('TABLE','PACKAGE','TRIGGER','SEQUENCE','VIEW');
spool off



then edit the spool file to get rid of the junk and run it.

[davey23uk]

should be spool drop_objects

Not to be picky, but what do you mean by data? Data, or objects - which includes tables, which in turn, includes data?

Are you asking how to purge data, but leave the basic structure of the schema intact?

From other post, you would also include package body as an object type.
