Dear All,

I want to drop a user but the drop command is failing with Ora-00604.

SQL> drop user tlel cascade;
drop user tlel cascade
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-12083: must use DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW to drop "TLEL"."EMP_DETAILS"

I created a script and dropped all the objects in that user. But still its showing me this error. I have a Materialized View in that user which is giving me issues. Kindly help its urgent.

Ali.

Already tried that. Below is the o/p.

SQL> drop MATERIALIZED VIEW tlel.EMP_DETAILS;
drop MATERIALIZED VIEW tlel.EMP_DETAILS
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12003: materialized view "TLEL"."EMP_DETAILS" does not exist

I think, you should restart the database.

What does this return:
SELECT owner,object_name,object_type
FROM all_objects
WHERE object_name = 'EMP_DETAILS';

Weird - it looks like the MVIEW has gone for that user, but has left the table behind.
Connect as the affected user, run this and post the results:
DROP TABLE emp_details;
DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW emp_details;

I believe this is a known bug. I have seen cases where materialized view metadata can be half updated by oracle when you try to drop it, depending upon the type of materialized view and options. My experience was on an 8i database. Thus the reason for the strange behavior. Part of Oracle thinks the MVIEW still exists, while other parts think it does not.

I cannot recall if there was a fix. I believe I figured something but to my shagrin I cannot remember.

Submit a TAR.

Also, tell us what you know about the materialized view. I seem to recall the problems I had were related to specific options used.

ah...it is coming back to me now... Was this view created using the ON PREBUILT TABLE clause? This is where I had this problem. Try dropping the underlying table and or unregistering the MVIEW. There are ways to register a MVIEW manually and unregister it too (at least that is what I recall).

Thanx for the reply Kevin... but i havent used the prebuilt table clause.
I have used ON COMMIT REFRESH clause and I have already dropped all the underlying tables and objects using a script. Now there are no objects existing in that schema.

Once before this had happened and I used some DBMS_AQ package and it got solved then but now I m not able to recollect what steps I followed then...

And how do you register/unregister mviews?

Ali.

Yeah, so this sounds like that bug to me.

As I recall there DBMS_MVIEW had stuff.

dbms_mview

registier_mview

unregister_mview

I am not at all certain this will fix the problem, so in the end you may be calling Oracle support.

Good luck, Kevin
