TABLE_NAME

No matter how I drop a table, this is the result. The table name is replaced with a line like this...

That's because it's now in the recycle bin (do a select from user_recyclebin to verify). If you want to get rid of it, do the following:
DROP TABLE ... PURGE;
or
PURGE recyclebin;
Best regards.

Thank you Frank! Super! I'm guessing you know how to restore things from recyclebin as well...?
And..is it possible to turn of the visibility of the recyclebin? Meaning that if I write select table_name from user_tables; the content of the recyclebin does not show.
Regards Eirik

Hi,
1. Yes, lookup the "FLASHBACK TABLE <original_table_name> TO BEFORE DROP {RENAME TO <new_table_name>};" command in the SQL Reference guide.
2. No. If you are desperate, you can change the dictionary views, however, I suggest you learn to live with it.
Best regards.
Frank

You have 2 other options to the drop .. purge command:
1. Used the new dropped column that has been added to many of the standard views like user_tables and user_indexes to only get those that have not been dropped.
2. When I upgraded (on windows) from 10.1.0.2 to 10.1.0.3, the behavior changed, and a regular select table_name from user_tables only returned the ones that were not dropped.
