Hi ,
is the datafile very very important to you and filled with many records ?
if the datafile can be ignored, you dont have to drop your database.
just tell to the database that the lost datafile is explicitly dropped.
first , you have to STARTUP NOMOUNT database , then
in SVRMGR type :
ALTER DATABASE mytestDB DATAFILE '/oradata/mydatafile.dbf' OFFLINE DROP.
and then ,
ALTER DATABASE OPEN.

Hi guys,
I deleted one of my datafile, and I can't recover it back because I have no
backup.
Can I drop my entire database without reinstalling my Oracle8i ??
Thank you
