How do I Drop all tables?

Select all of the tables in your database in the Schema Browser clicking on the first table, holding Shift, and clicking on the last table. Right-click on the selected tables and select “Drop (n) Tables…”

                   FROM user_objects

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.


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

The simplest way is to drop the user that owns the objects with the cascade command.

DROP USER username CASCADE

SELECT 'DROP TABLE "' || TABLE_NAME || '" CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;' 
FROM user_tables;

user_tables is a system table which contains all the tables of the user the SELECT clause will generate a DROP statement for every table you can run the script


The easiest way would be to drop the tablespace then build the tablespace back up. But I'd rather not have to do that. This is similar to Henry's except that I just do a copy/paste on the resultset in my gui.

SELECT
  'DROP'
  ,object_type
  ,object_name
  ,CASE(object_type)
     WHEN 'TABLE' THEN 'CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;'
     ELSE ';'
   END
 FROM user_objects
 WHERE
   object_type IN ('TABLE','VIEW','PACKAGE','PROCEDURE','FUNCTION','SEQUENCE')
