title: How do I stop or drop a job from the Oracle Job Scheduler
body: <p>Sounds easy, right? I have a job that is running that I'd like to stop (it's been running for way to long, and there is clearly a problem with it). Well, when I try to stop the job, I get this message:</p>
  
  <p><strong>ORA-27366: job "string.string" is not running. Cause: An attempt was made to stop a job that was not running.</strong></p>
  
  <p>However, when I try to drop the job entirely, because I REALLY don't want it running anymore, I get this message:</p>
  
  <p><strong>ORA-27478: job "string.string" is running. Cause: An attempt was made to drop a job that is currently running.</strong></p>
  
  <p>Really, Oracle? Make up your mind! Has anyone seen this before? How do I stop this rogue job without restarting the server?!?!</p>
