Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re:RE: dropped datafile problem
While the damage here has already been done, it should be a point of caution for us all. I make a point of dropping the tablespace in Oracle first followed by judicious use of the 'fuser' command in HP-UX to see that all processes have released the file. Now you know it's deletable. BTW: anyone know of an equivalent to fuser for NT/2000??

Andrey,
I agree with Rachel. You need to fix this problem immediately. You are one step short of a complete disaster-recovery scenario.
Your choices are:
Restore the database prior to when you deleted the data file and issued the "drop datafile" command.
or
Export, drop the tablespace, and import the data to a new tablespace
or
Create a new tablespace, and issue "alter table {tablename} move {newtablespace}" and "alter index {indexname} rebuild" for all tables in the old tablespace. When complete, drop the old tablespace.
I would schedule option #3 - by far, the easiest option (if you are running under 8.1.6 and above).
You need to do one of the above ASAP! You have a tablespace that is in a bad situation, and there is no other option (unless Oracle support can perform some magic for you).
Hope this helps.

you HAVE to drop the tablespace. You do not have a consistent database, and your database is a disaster recovery scenario waiting to happen.
The question is, why did you drop the datafile without researching the ramifications?
