There is a page about algorithms for shooting yourself in a foot somewhere on the web (it can be found by starting at www.ugu.com) but you don't have to do it in public. Scientifically speaking, if you deleted a database file from the disk, your database is in so called foobar state and about the only thing you can do is to perform the tablespace recovery. BTW, how did you get the idea to call yourself "Andrea Oracle"? Why not "Dan Quayle"?

Hi all,

I need to permanently get rid off some files from the database. I did this:

1. alter database datafile '/orafs/ora1/oradata/LUCP/users02.dbf' offline drop
2. rm the file from physical directory

After I shutdown and restart the db, I still see the file in dba_data_files table. So how to tell the control file that the file is already gone?

Thank you.
