Hi,

I have checked the my database size from below query

select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 || 'GB'
from dba_segments;

120 GB

I have removed the one schema about 12GB and then i checked the my database size from same query.

select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 || 'GB'
from dba_segments;

120GB.

It shows a same size.how to reduce the database size after dropping schema?

Thanks,
Michael.

Drop a user schema including all schema objects (if any).

Below is the Syntax

DROP USER <username> CASCADE;

CASCADE is used to drop all objects in the user's schema.

You must have to use CASCADE if objects reside inside the schema.
