    Question Delete all table in the schema with a single command

    Hi All,

    I want to delete all the tables in my schema in a single command / function. I don't have DBA rights for this schema and I have only SQL Plus. I am working on :

    Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.0.1.0.0 - Production
    PL/SQL Release 9.0.1.0.0 - Production
    CORE 9.0.1.0.0 Production
    TNS for Solaris: Version 9.0.1.0.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 9.0.1.0.0 - Production

    Thanks in adv,

    Run the following

    Code:
    SET HEADING OFF FEEDBACK OFF PAGES 0
    SPOOL delete_table.sql
    SELECT 'DROP TABLE '||table_name||';'
    FROM user_tables;
    SPOOL OFF
    
    @delete_table
    This is a very simplistic approach and you will probably need to disable any referential constraints.

    Jim :

    I saw that he indeed wrote Tables, but what I guessed, seeing the way he posted, was he wants to flush all of the objects(Tables,Procs,Packages and so)...

    Let him comment on it.

    Want to delete all objects in a schema

    Thanks for the co-operation and instant reply....

    This procedure worked fine and I was able to delete all the tables :

    spool drop.sql
    select 'drop table ' || table_name || ';' from tabs;
    spool off

    @drop


    but, I want to delete all tbe objects in the schema.

    Thanks,,
