Darren,

did you try

drop tablespace "spatial"; <=== including the double quotes

at least this works when tables are created with lower case letters.

I am unable to drop a tablespace that I created.

I created the tablespace with a lower case name, when I do a select * from dba_tablespaces the name
is lowercase as opposed to uppercase.

When I "drop tablespace spatial" oracle gives the following error message :

ORA-00959: tablespace 'SPATIAL' does not exist

This is oracle 8.1.7.2.?

Thanks

Darren
