    I checked the spfile and init.ora.
    The undo_management parameter is set to AUTO.
    In spfile the undo_tablespace was pointing to my new tablespace while in init.ora it was pointing to my old one. I changed it, restarted the db.

    Checked the status in dba_tablespaces. The old one is marked offline there.
    But still I get the same error if I try to drop it. It doesnot allow me to drop that active rollback sagment also!


    Aaha, - Mr davey23uk - Didn't you notice the **.....** note in my first post ?
    Please stay away..

    Try this.
    alter tablespace undotbs1 online;
    drop tablespace undotbs1 including CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;

    The below details might help us.
    show parameter undo
    select * from dba_tablespaces where tablespace_name='UNDOTBS1';
    select * from dba_data_files where tablespace_name='UNDOTBS1';
    SELECT STATUS,RELATIVE_FNO,TABLESPACE_NAME,COUNT(*) FROM DBA_ROLLBACK_SEGS GROUP BY STATUS,RELATIVE_FNO,TABLESPACE_NAME;

    Make sure the undo tablespace is set to undotbs2
    alter system set undo_retention=50 scope=both;
    --make sure the undotbs1 is online.
    Do restart the database two times.(Normal)
    try drop now.
    If not post the result for the commands in the previous post.
    Increase the retention later.

    If you notice in the last query one rollback segment is partly available, which
    is not allowing to drop that tablespace. So I tried this:


    SQL> alter session set undo_suppress_errors=TRUE;
    Session altered.

    SQL> alter rollback segment "_SYSSMU6$" offline;
    Rollback segment altered.

    Then tried dropping the tablespace; But in vain.

    What is your undo tablespace now?
    You have not changed your undo tablespace as suggested before by one Pando and others.
    You are still using UNDOTBS1 as your undo tablespace.

    You have not executed the queries correctly.
    I requested information for UNDOTBS1 but you have executed for UNDOTBS

    Make the UNDOTBS2 or any other newly created tablespace as
    current undo tablespace and make your SPFILE also recognise by using scope=both.

    Revert with details.

    No no. Its a confusion. See - My original undo tablespace was UNDOTBS.
    And the one i created newly is - UNDOTBS1. Since I need to drop UNDOTBS (not UNDOTBS1) , I executed your queries for UNDOTBS. If you have doubt, following is what I did and documented as per Tim and Pando's advice:



    Step 1:
    CREATE UNDO
    TABLESPACE "UNDOTBS1"
    DATAFILE 'D:\UNDOTBS\UNDOTBS05.DBF' SIZE 200M
    REUSE AUTOEXTEND
    ON NEXT 5120K MAXSIZE 16383M

    Check in the Enterprise manager consol if the tablespace is created.

    Step 2: Fire a COMMIT query to ensure that all transections are commited.

    Step 3: Tell the system to use the new tablespace
    ALTER SYSTEM SET undo_tablespace=UNDOTBS1;

    Step 4: Restart the DB. Just for safty.

    Step 5: Drop the table old space
    DROP TABLESPACE UNDOTBS INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;

    Step 6: Restart the DB. Check if it opens properly. Fire some DDL query.

    Step 7: Delete the old datafiles from the filesystem. If not sure about the filename check from the view dba_data_files.

    Step 8: Restart the DB.

    I got stucked in step 5

    I completely disagree with steps 4, 6 and 8. There is no reason to restart the db when switching undo tablespaces.

    If the old one doesn't free up (drop), just give it some time. Don't panic. You may need to wait for it to age out the data (undo_retention seconds).

    Step 7 - I thought 9i deleted the os file too? humm...
