Hi, I restored the database from cold backup. There seems to be a problem with one of the datafiles. Since there is no useful data in it, I tried dropping it using...
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE '<ENTIRE PATH>' OFFLINE DROP; Database altered. I also deleted the physical file by going to that location and deleting it. However I still find the datafile existing. SQL> select name, status from v$datafile; I still find the datafile. Can someone suggest me something?? Thanks a lot...
