Hi all!

Like the subject says: Dropping a schema user takes ages!
When I make a user dump, its about 1GB.
I want to import it in a test environment.
Its necessary to drop the user before I can import.
It took 6 hours until now to get rid of this schema, and it is still in progress.
Does anyone know why it takes this long, what I can do about it?

Thanks in advance,

Robin Urff

Robin,

Since you are dropping the user with cascade option enabled, a large amount of recursive SQL is being generated. That is not so efficient because of the above reason.

You could check the number of extents for tables and indexes. If there are many extents FET$ and UET$ are probably the bottlenecks for both processes.

Hope that helps,

Why drop the user. Drop the objects. Go to http://www.oriolecorp.com in the scripts section download drop_user_objects.sql. The coalesce the tablespace and import. Your "drop user USER cascade is probably hung. It should not take that long. Maybe 15 minutes at the most.
