Finding & Dropping tables that are not being used..

edited Jul 18, 2014 5:00AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 7 commentsAnswered

I am doing some database cleanup.  I want to go thru about 1,200 tables within [HR] schema to find which one that is NOT being referenced to in other schemas and delete it.

I was able to do this for one table at the time, but it must be a better way to get a list of the tables I am looking for w/o spending too much time checking all 1,200 tables.  This way I can delete only the tables within [HR] schemas that are NOT being used  or referenced to..

My DB is 11.2.


Thanks.
