Came across an interesting bug in the rename command (8.1.6.0.0) (see bug
1359472). Seems if you rename a table, you can drop or truncate it without a
problem. However, if you rename a table, then later issue a 'drop user userame
cascade;', a bogus entry is placed into the obj$ table, an ora-0600 is
returned, and neither the table nor the user can be dropped.

This is rather unfortunate, as rename is a very convenient command.

Cheers,
GC

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
