Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Urgent Reply requested. Truncate command
There has t be something really wrong in there as I just finished
truncating a 37G table
Table truncated.
Elapsed: 00:01:26.29
Table dropped.
Elapsed: 00:00:06.23
Took a minute 26 seconds.
You might try dropping the indexes, truncating table then recreating indexes.....
I chose to truncate the table before dropping for two reasons, 1) so it would not generate the redo and 2) the first test of just dropping the table took an hour and 52 minutes to drop it.....

A few details such as the tablespace management mode in use and the
number
of extents that the table and its indexes are in would be helpful. More
that likely if dictionary management is in use Oracle is having to
perform a
ton of work cleaning up the sys.fet$ and uet$ base tables where free
space
and extent management information is kept.
There is an article on this topic at the cooperative FAQ hosted at http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/ind_faq.html
