How to drop all user tables?

How can I drop all user tables in oracle?

I have problem with constraints. When I disable all it is still no possible.


Solution 1:

BEGIN
   FOR cur_rec IN (SELECT object_name, object_type
                   FROM user_objects
                   WHERE object_type IN
                             ('TABLE',
                              'VIEW',
                              'MATERIALIZED VIEW',
                              'PACKAGE',
                              'PROCEDURE',
                              'FUNCTION',
                              'SEQUENCE',
                              'SYNONYM',
                              'PACKAGE BODY'
                             ))
   LOOP
      BEGIN
         IF cur_rec.object_type = 'TABLE'
         THEN
            EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP '
                              || cur_rec.object_type
                              || ' "'
                              || cur_rec.object_name
                              || '" CASCADE CONSTRAINTS';
         ELSE
            EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP '
                              || cur_rec.object_type
                              || ' "'
                              || cur_rec.object_name
                              || '"';
         END IF;
      EXCEPTION
         WHEN OTHERS
         THEN
            DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('FAILED: DROP '
                                  || cur_rec.object_type
                                  || ' "'
                                  || cur_rec.object_name
                                  || '"'
                                 );
      END;
   END LOOP;
   FOR cur_rec IN (SELECT * 
                   FROM all_synonyms 
                   WHERE table_owner IN (SELECT USER FROM dual))
   LOOP
      BEGIN
         EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM ' || cur_rec.synonym_name;
      END;
   END LOOP;
END;

Solution 2:

If you just want a really simple way to do this.. Heres a script I have used in the past

select 'drop table '||table_name||' cascade constraints;' from user_tables;

This will print out a series of drop commands for all tables in the schema. Spool the result of this query and execute it.

Likewise if you want to clear more than tables you can edit the following to suit your needs

select 'drop '||object_type||' '|| object_name || ';' from user_objects where object_type in ('VIEW','PACKAGE','SEQUENCE', 'PROCEDURE', 'FUNCTION', 'INDEX')

Solution 3:

Another answer that worked for me is (credit to http://snipt.net/Fotinakis/drop-all-tables-and-constraints-within-an-oracle-schema/)

BEGIN

FOR c IN (SELECT table_name FROM user_tables) LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ('DROP TABLE "' || c.table_name || '" CASCADE CONSTRAINTS');
END LOOP;

FOR s IN (SELECT sequence_name FROM user_sequences) LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ('DROP SEQUENCE ' || s.sequence_name);
END LOOP;

END;

Note that this works immediately after you run it. It does NOT produce a script that you need to paste somewhere (like other answers here). It runs directly on the DB.

Solution 4:

begin
  for i in (select 'drop table '||table_name||' cascade constraints' tbl from user_tables) 
  loop
     execute immediate i.tbl;
  end loop;
end;
