Hi, I am getting the following error while trying to drop a user with casacde optioni:

ORA-01502: index 'SYS.I_ACCESS1' or partition of such index is in unusable state

Before that I was doing an import which terminated without errors. I shutdown the database and now cannot start it back up. Here are the contents of the alert file:

Errors in file /data/app/oracle/admin/rmsprod/udump/rmsprod_ora_22198.trc:
ORA-00704: bootstrap process failure
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01502: index 'SYS.I_ACCESS1' or partition of such index is in unusable state
Wed Dec 10 16:48:14 2008
Error 704 happened during db open, shutting down database
USER: terminating instance due to error 704
Instance terminated by USER, pid = 22198
ORA-1092 signalled during: ALTER DATABASE OPEN...


Please advise! Thank you!

ORA-01502: index 'string.string' or partition of such index 
           is in unusable state

Cause:	   An attempt has been made to access an index or index
           partition that has been marked unusable by a direct
           load or by a DDL operation

And have you looked at the file rmsprod_ora_22198.trc for additional information?

Yes, I googled this explanation also Smile

There is no additional info in .trc file. I was just wondering why this error took place. Thank you.

'SYS.I_ACCESS1' is an index on SYS.ACCESS$, what did you do to make it unusable?

Now, you have to restore/recover your database from a backup.

I would like to know that also. There was no activity in the db except of an import of a schema from a different db. After the import I got this message. Yes, restore and recover, but it would be nice know what produced this behavior. Thank you!

You didn't do an export and import as the SYS user, did you?

As a matter of fact I did. Could that be a problem?

Yes.

That has most likely destroyed the database and put in in an unusable state.

Don't EVER touch the sys schema with imports/exports or put own database objects in it.

Ok, thank you! I tried to search docs about it and it does not say anywhere that you cant use SYS to do imports, etc. I learned my lesson though.
