ORA-14405

ORA-14404 / 14405 and Deferred Segment Creation

Submitted by randolf.geist on Wed, 2011-04-27 18:49

Have a look at the following SQL*Plus output snippet:

SQL>> select count(*) from dba_segments where tablespace_name in ('TS_TO_DROP', 'TS_TO_NOT_DROP');

COUNT(*)
----------
0

SQL>> drop tablespace ts_to_drop including contents and datafiles cascade constraints;
drop tablespace ts_to_drop including contents and datafiles cascade constraints
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-14404: partitioned table contains partitions in a different tablespace

How is it possible to get a message about an object that is supposed to have partitions in the tablespace to be dropped and in some other tablespaces if there is no segment contained in the tablespace to be dropped?

May be a dictionary corruption, or a problem with the recyclebin?
