Hi Fellow DBAs

        Today I created a TEMP Tablespace in TEST env. Dropped the Tablespace, and again I tried to create the same tablespace (with same datafile), it gives error. I checked dba_data_files and v$datafile there was no entry for that datafile but there was an entry in file$. Why this is so ???

        Could someone explain when the entry from file$ goes off? I even bounced tha database but no luck? Does it mean that I will never be able to use a datafile with same name??

Here is the sequence of commands that I executed on prompt :

SQL> create tablespace OHIR_temp2 TEMPORARY datafile
'D:\DATA\OHIR\OHIR_TEMP02.DBF' size 10M
 default storage (

 initial      256k
 next         256k

 pctincrease 0
 );

Tablespace created.

SQL> DROP TABLESPACE OHIR_TEMP2 INCLUDING CONTENTS ; Tablespace dropped.

SQL> create tablespace OHIR_temp2 TEMPORARY datafile
'D:\DATA\OHIR\OHIR_TEMP02.DBF' size 10M
 default storage (

 initial      256k
 next         256k

 pctincrease 0
 );
create tablespace OHIR_temp2 TEMPORARY datafile *
