In PL\/SQL, the method to delete all tables is by using dynamic SQL to execute the DROP TABLE statement. Here is an example code:<\/p>\n

DECLARE
<\/p>
<\/p>
  v_sql VARCHAR2(100);<\/p>
BEGIN<\/p>
<\/p>
  FOR t IN (SELECT table_name FROM user_tables) LOOP<\/p>
<\/p>
    v_sql := 'DROP TABLE ' || t.table_name;<\/p>
<\/p>
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql;<\/p>
<\/p>
  END LOOP;<\/p>
END;<\/p>
\/<\/p><\/pre>\n
This code uses a cursor to loop through all user tables and uses the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement to execute dynamic SQL to delete each table. In this example, it is assumed that the current user is the one deleting the tables; if you want to delete tables of other users, you will need to modify the query. Please note that running this code will permanently delete all tables, so use it carefully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
