Dropping a connected user from an Oracle 10g database schema

Question

Is there a better way to forcefully disconnect all users from an Oracle 10g database schema than restarting the Oracle database services?

We have several developers

Answer 1

Just my two cents : the best way (but probably not the quickest in the short term) would probably be for each developer to work on his own database instance (see rule #1 for database work).

Installing Oracle on a developer station has become a no brainer since Oracle Database 10g Express Edition.
