Answer / sonali

It happens because you have a table with the same name which you have dropped earlier. Now the same name table you are trying recover and in the result oracle server is giving the above error.
However you can fix it by the below command.
FLASHBACK TABLE DEPT TO BEFORE DROP RENAME TO DEPT_OLD;
