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')

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;
