Drop user fails with ORA-01418

Drop user fails with ORA-01418

Chadi,

Did the user get dropped?

If not, can you go through and drop the users objects manually? And then
drop the user? It is obviously an Oracle problem. But if you can find a
workaround, then you can chalk it up to experience.

Personally, I do not drop a user that has a bunch of objects. I prefer to
drop all the objects first and then the user just for this reason.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Drop user fails with ORA-01418 (See ORA-01418.ora-code.com)


Hi everyone,

I 'm pretty sure, many had run into this problem before and can provide some
help. When I try to drop one of my user, I get the following:

SQL > drop user theuser cascade;

ORA-00604 (See ORA-00604.ora-code.com): error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01418 (See ORA-01418.ora-code.com): specified index does not exist

What index it 's talking about, metalink says this is related to some data
corruption in data dictionnary, but doesn 't provide a solution.


We run Oracle Database 10g Release 10.1.0.3.0 on Linux.

Thank you.
