    Db Clean-up

    Hi Friends,

    DB = Oracle 9i
    OS = Win2000

    I noticed that there are lots of schemas created when i installed
    Oracle9i. I know some of these are for demo applications which we
    normally do not use. Can i drop all these schemas without corrupting
    my database? I dont know which of these are needed by other tools in maintaining the database. Can I onty retain SYS,SYSTEM, and our
    "to be" created application schemas?

    Thank you all.

    you can drop most of them and you'll get left with lots of invalid objects, an argurment not to use the dbca to create databses.

    When we create databases manually we are left with sys, system, dbmsnp and outln fyi

    At the minimum, keep sys, system and outln user. Rest of schemas you can drop if your not using thier corresponding functionality. Like schema DBSNMP can be dropped if your not using Intelligent Agents.
