Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re[2]: dropping global temp tables
Ok. I think I see the problem. I was trying to drop the
plan_table that Oracle Database 10g creates automagically as
a global temp table in the event you do not manually create
a plan_table. I wanted to test something regarding that,
though at the moment I've forgotten whatever it was that I
wanted to test that led me to this point.
There's a trailing $ on table name, so, even though it's DESCRIBE plan_table, it's DROP plan_table$;
