Hi,

I accidentally deleted a data file due to which the control file is not able to read the file name and giving me this error

C:\Documents and Settings\Dd>set oracle_sid=dbase

C:\Documents and Settings\Dd>sqlplus

SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.4.2 - Production on Fri Aug 22 12:49:09 2008

Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

Enter user-name: das/das
ERROR:
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress


The reason was evident when I logged in a SYSDBA.

Enter user-name: /as sysdba

Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options

SQL> alter database open;
alter database open
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 6 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 6: 'D:\FILES\DATA\DATA01.DBF'


What can be done in this case? I know this data is lost but how to fire fight and log in to save the rest.

Restore the file from a backup and recover it.

I knew this but unfortunately there is no backup for the database.

What else could I do?

Drop the whole tablespace.
This is the only way to save your database but of course you will lose all data in it.

yes...but without opening the database how do I find out which tablespace it belongs to .. I did not know that so did this.

alter database datafile 'D:\FILES\DATA\DATA01.DBF' offline drop;


shutdown the database opened it (which opened properly)

and then then dropped the tablespace.

hi,
do you have a copy of the datafile elsewhere which you could catalog in rman?

regards

Alan
