Dropping a table during SELECT in oracle and SQL server
Uwe Hesse in his article Dropping a table during SELECT has described how dropping a table during select statement works in oracle database server. As per his post, you are able to drop while selecting from the table. In contrary to this in SQL server dropping a table while a select is running doesn't work. The drop statement is blocked by the select statement. Once the select statement is completed, the drop statement also completes.
