How to delete all tables and data belonging to a user in Oracle?
To delete all tables and data under a user, you can follow these steps:
- Firstly, log in to the Oracle database using an administrator account, such as sys or system.
- Identify the users to be cleared. You can use the following command to query the list of users in the database:
- Show the usernames from the database for all users.
- Find the user to be cleared.
- Switch to the user you want to delete using the following command:
- Change the current schema to the specified username.
- Query the list of tables under a user using the following command:
- Show the names of all tables from the user_tables.
- Confirm the table you want to clear.
- Delete tables one by one using the following command:
- Delete the table named 表名.
- Repeat the above steps to delete all tables that need to be cleared.
- Before deleting the table, if you need to backup the table data, you can use the following command to export the table data to a backup file:
- User name/password FILE=table_data_backup.dmp TABLES=(table_name1, table_name2, …);
- This will create a backup file with a .dmp extension.
- If you need to backup table data before deleting a table, you can use the following command to export the table data to a backup file:
- Username/password FILE=backup_data_file.dmp TABLES=(table_name1, table_name2, …);
- This will create a backup file with the extension .dmp.
- Finally, delete the user using the following command:
- Remove the user with specified username and all associated objects.
- This will remove the user and all objects owned by them, including tables, views, indexes, etc.
Please note that removing all tables and data under a user is a risky operation, handle with caution and make sure to backup important data.
