Folks,

I installed Oracle 10g R1 on Solaris 10, and also created (using DBCA) a database. Then I deleted all the files in the oradata directory. Now, when I run DBCA, I am still presented with the option to delete a database, and then presented with a radio button for the database that I thought I wiped out when I deleted all the database files. Since the control file is gone, where is DBCA be getting the name of the formerly existing database? tnsnames.ora? Someplace else?

Thank you.
