I have a problem where I need to remove all code and triggers from a database that relate to certain tables in order for a Solaris package to install. Long complicated story but I need to start with a clean slate.
I've managed to remove all the existing tables/synonyms, but how to locate the code/triggers from sqlplus that is related?
Unfortunately, it's not feasible to drop the database and recreate it.
Well, it turns out all the table names are prefixed with my module name DAP.
So, to find all the table names and public synonyms with sqlplus:
select table_name from all_tables where table_name like 'DAP%';
select synonym_name from all_synonyms where table_name like 'DAP%';
To get a list of triggers and sequences
select trigger_name from all_triggers where table_name like 'DAP%';
select sequence_name from all_sequences where sequence_name like 'DAP%';
To get a list of all the constraints
select table_name, constraint_name from all_constraints where table_name like 'DAP%';
To get the DAP related code:
select text from dba_source where name like 'DAP%';
I can now write a script that drops everything.
You should be able to query the system table ALL_TRIGGERS to find the triggers. It has a table_name column. You can probably find the other related objects with different system tables (been awhile since I've messed with Oracle).
