Jared,
You'll get no flame out of me. Anytime I can put a cold backup in the
can I
do. BTW: you also need to do a reset logs if you have "set database XX"
in the
create controlfile command.

Dick,
Opening with 'RESET LOGS' should only be needed after an incomplete recovery.
At this point you would need to make a *cold* backup.
I'm sure to catch flames for that last statement, but I don't care, I'll stand my ground.

One other point, when recreating the control file you many times have to
do a
resetlogs at the end which invalidates all of your previous backups. I
for one
hate to loose any avenue to a recovery if needed. Actually I hate
anything that
forces me to rebuild the control file(s), you can loose too much history
that
way. Now I will admit it would be one great enhancement to the command if
the
kernel would then move the datafile for you. Of course it would be good
if drop
tablespace also cleaned up after itself, but then that's a 9i feature,
only if
you have a storage vendor who supports Oracle's OMF API.

well, I can think of one off the top of my head -- your way the database has to be shutdown.
using alter database rename file you can just take the tablespace that owns that datafile offline and do the work. All users who don't need that particular tablespace are not affected.
