Stephen - I don't think that will work on Windows. I don't work on Windows, but I recall someone saying that Oracle locks the file while it is used.

Ruth - If you drop a table, I don't think a recovery will be automatically triggered. You'd probably need to do a TSPITR, and I'm not sure that was the question.

Could you please suggest me how to corrupt a data file, for testing recovery.

How corrupt do you want the file to be?

vi the file?
copy /usr/bin/ksh on top of the file. That ought to corrupt it real good!
