This perticular ORA-01017 invalid username/password; login denied will occur in case of username or password authentication failure. In your case you have not dropped the user, that much confirm. your sunil users password you are entering spelling mistake or wrong password. U change the password of the user sunil by giving the following command from sys user

alter user sunil identified by sunil

then connect by sunil user. conn sunil/sunil

There must be a session where user sunil is still connected. You need to identify that session and kill it, then you can drop user sunil, as demonstrated below.

scott@ORA92> drop user sunil;
drop user sunil
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01940: cannot drop a user that is currently connected


scott@ORA92> select sid, serial# from v$session where username = 'SUNIL';

       SID    SERIAL#
---------- ----------
        11         16

scott@ORA92> alter system kill session '11,16';

System altered.

scott@ORA92> drop user sunil;

User dropped.

scott@ORA92> select username from dba_users
  2  where username = 'SUNIL'
  3  /

Hi,

I think you update the statistics for the database cause i think the statistics are not updated and the data dictionary is not having the current status of the database.

First, perform a clean shutdown if you can and then update the statistics of your database through DBMS_STATS package.

I think this can resolve your problem though I am not sure.

hi

Milind thanks for your reply .. as my database is running 24x7 so difficult to shutdown .. even i was knowing that after shuting down the database and starting it again every thing will be fine ... but is there is any other solution to this without shuting down the database.

Thanks

Hi,

What you can try on this is collect the database stats through DBMS_STATS package without shutting down the db.

I think once the statistics will be updated your problem will get resolved.

Please let me know if your problem gets resolved after doing this.

Milind.

I fail to see how gathering statistics can influence the data displayed by a query...

Hi Frank,

I have already said in my previous post that I am not sure about this. But, I have seen practically once or twice Oracle does not recognise Create table or Drop table or Drop user commands until statistics are updated as the data dictionary tables are not having the recent changes.

That is why I told Sunil to give this a try.

first connect to sysdab

SQL>conn / as sysdba
then type

SQL>drop user sunil cascade;

then user will remove from data base
then connect to sunil

SQL>conn sunil/sunil

oracle will not allow use to conn to sunil/sunil means your user is deleted

1) You do realise this thread is 5 years old?
2) The problem the OP was having is that he got an error when he tried to drop the user, you've posted nothing that would help there.
