Title: Deleting files on w2k

Lisa,

 

You've got to stop the Oracle Service for the Instance.  Then you can delete files.

Subject: Deleting files on w2k

I'm trying to test out backup and recovery on w2k.  However, I can't remove or rename a file while the database is running!  It says "file in use". 

Am I missing something or is there a way to force this? 

Thanks
