What happens to the data files if a tablespace is dropped?



What happens to the data files if a tablespace is dropped?..

Answer / Syed Danish Mushtaq

When you drop a tablespace, all the associated datafiles are also deleted unless they are used by another tablespace. If there are no other dependent objects using the datafiles, they will be deleted as well. If the datafiles are needed for other tablespaces, they remain intact.
