Alter table move - ORA-21700: object does not exist or is marked for delete

RSteinNov 7 2013 — edited Nov 8 2013

Hello,

I try to move a table to another tablespace with following SQL:

ALTER TABLE XXX_XX.S2T_COMP_NAMEGROUP MOVE TABLESPACE XXX_ARCH COMPRESS;  -- as system

and I'm getting this error:

Error starting at line 1 in command:

ALTER TABLE XXX_XX.S2T_COMP_NAMEGROUP MOVE TABLESPACE XXX_ARCH COMPRESS

Error report:

SQL Error: ORA-21700: object does not exist or is marked for delete

21700. 00000 -  "object does not exist or is marked for delete"

*Cause:    User attempted to perform an inappropriate operation to

           an object that is non-existent or marked for delete.

           Operations such as pinning, deleting and updating cannot be

           applied to an object that is non-existent or marked for delete.

*Action:   User needs to re-initialize the reference to reference an

           existent object or the user needs to unmark the object.

I could not find anything helpful about this error message.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Raphael
