		Read the following QA:
 Why do objects owned by SYS show "no" in the CAN_PURGE column of dba_recyclebin?
 
 This means that the particular object cannot be purged individually; e.g.,  using the 'PURGE
 TABLE' or 'PURGE INDEX' syntax.  The 'PURGE DBA_RECYCLEBIN' command will  purge it, along with all the
 dependent objects.
 
 If these objects were purged, would those that have CAN_PURGE values of  "no" purge or be bypassed?
 These objects will be purged when parent objects are purged.
 
 Is there an option for a WHERE clause when running the 'PURGE DBA_RECYCLEBIN' command to code for CAN_PURGE='yes'?
 
 No, there is not an option.  The command 'PURGE DBA_RECYCLEBIN' should purge all parent objects and its dependents.
 
 By purging using the command 'PURGE DBA_RECYCLEBIN' on the objects that have can_purge="no", will this cause problems with any object in the database?
 
 No. PURGE DBA_RECYCLEBIN won't cause problems with any objects in the database.
