Dropping Windows

When you no longer need a window, you can drop it with the DROP_WINDOW procedure . If you attempt to drop a window and any jobs are currently using this window as their schedules, you will not be able to drop the window normally. Instead, you will have to use the FORCE option as follows.

    BEGIN
       DBMS_SCHEDULER.drop_window (window_name => 'window1', FORCE => TRUE);
    END;

If FORCE is specified for a window, that window will be dropped regardless of its association with any job. In this example, if there are any jobs using the window named window1 as their schedule, they will be disabled, and the window will be dropped.
