OCI-39280

Cannot drop overflow segment.

Cause

DBMS_METADATA_DIFF was comparing two index organized tables, the first with an overflow segment, the second without. There is no SQL ALTER statement to drop an overflow segment.


Action

The difference cannot be eliminated with an SQL ALTER statement.
