Dropping all DB tables, views, indexes, sequences in one query.

Most of the time one faces the issues like one need to delete all the tables, views, indexes or sequences in the database.
So following the query which generates DROP statements for all the components present in the Oracle database:

SELECT 'DROP TABLE ' || table_name || ';' AS statement FROM user_tables
Union
SELECT 'DROP VIEW ' || view_name || ';' AS statement from user_views
Union
SELECT 'DROP INDEX ' || index_name || ';' AS statement from user_indexes
Union
SELECT 'DROP SEQUENCE ' || sequence_name || ';' AS statement from user_sequences
Union
SELECT 'DROP SYNONYM ' || SYNONYM_name || ';' AS statement from user_SYNONYMs;

Keynote NF : Handy and productive tool to manage notes.

I would like to let you know about a good lightweight tool : Keynote NF

As we use notepad to save various important notes or mark some to-dos.

Due to this desktop gets messy and its trouble to find things which we have written for our simplicity :)

Using keynote one can save the important notes or any under process notes in single file.

It is having various features, I have found few of it while its usage:

• Simple to use and Lightweight – When not in use keeps running in background.
• Freeware – No licenses.
• Supports Rich Text and various feature like MS Word.
• Alarm / Reminders.
• Tree based to arrangements of notes and multiple tabs.
• Good search capabilities.
• No need to install – Unzip and start using it.
