As far as I can tell, someone is still holding a (global) temporary table; until it is released, you can't do much about it.

How to release it in a painless manner? Well, that's something I'd like to hear as well. I didn't have to drop a user, but sometimes needed to recreate a global temporary table and couldn't do that because some session held it, although I was quite sure that I disconnected everyone involved. Maybe Oracle held some kind of "locks" (whatever) for certain period of time - can't tell.

Unfortunately, such nuances are beyond my knowledge. Looking forward to future replies!

Anything holding locks should be traceable via the lock tables/views available, no?

ORA-14452: attempt to create, alter or drop an index on temporary table already in use
 *Cause:  An attempt was made to create, alter or drop an index on temporary
          table which is already in use.
 *Action: All the sessions using the session-specific temporary table have
          to truncate table and all the transactions using transaction
          specific temporary table have to end their transactions.

Good, so it is a problem with drop user but drop GTT.
Is there any index on the table?
If so drop them first then retry to drop the user.

Are you sure you were with the same account in the 2 sessions?

Run it against DBA_INDEXES.

If someone created an index on the table but put it in another schema, USER_INDEXES shows nothing.

You can also see it in ALL_INDEXES if you have not the privileges on DBA_INDEXES.

What happens if you connect as the user, truncate the table, attempt the drop and then query the lock views?

I can't see any normal situation (bugs aside) where those events above would not reveal something useful. Are there any triggers involved?

Do you have any DDL trigger ?.
Please check it.

Hi anil !

Very Good day to you !

Please check weather the User is doing any transactions. If so please Close All the trasactions and then try dropping the user.
Otherwise, If that is a RAC database See the node Which is current in use and then see any Process are used like Sometimes that session earlier might do some huge transactions Which might be into long ops as a result this might be issue. So Solution for this is Login to OEM and please Search with the help Of SID and check what that session exactly is doing.This another way.

Please feel free to reply me.

Regards
kapardi

Login to OEM is not the solution.
Everything to investigate has already been said.
Please feel free to read the previous posts and to not add one if you have nothing more to add.
