Fastest way to delete a tablespace

edited Apr 5, 2018 5:02AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 6 commentsAnswered

Hi,

I have a tablespace that has around 150,000 tables which belong to 1 single schema. My goal is to remove the tablespace all together - what is the fatest way to achieve this?

I have tried dropping all the tables in the schema before dropping the user (DROP USER XXX CASCADE) and then tablespace ( DROP TABLESPACE XXX INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES) but this is taking a very long time (20+ hours).

Thanks.

Howdy, Stranger!
