Now won't you feel bad if someone actually follows your tongue-in-cheek suggestion?

Another good way of reclaiming disk space on Unix boxes is to execute "rm
-rf /"
as "root". That is an excellent way for saving some money for the disk
drives!!!!

I have dropped a datafile a couple of times by taking it offline and then
dropping it.  This was done after I created a new datafile and accidentally
put it in the wrong place, got the allocation wrong or misspelled the name.
You just have to make absolutely sure that the datafile does not contain any
objects.

You can't just drop a datafile.  You need to drop the entire tablespace.

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.
