Strange. Do those users have a few tables and/or many extents?

Try dropping the tables first. I've had to do that on occasion.

Hi All,

Anyone ever seen this before? 8.1.7 on a Win2K machine.

SQL> select username,
  2 account_status
  3 from dba_users
  4 where username in ('MARK','SCOTT');

USERNAME                       ACCOUNT_STATUS
------------------------------ --------------------------------
SCOTT                          OPEN
MARK                           OPEN

SQL> drop user scott cascade;
drop user scott cascade
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

I can't drop *ANY* users! Not even logged in as SYS!

Cheers

Mark
