database ?
Hi Gorik,
Do you want to drop the database as a whole,
i.e. including your system tablespace etc?
Just delete all your
controlfiles, datafiles and redologfiles, keep the init<SID>.ora and
start creating the database all over again. (You do have a create-script,
don't you?).
Of course you can execute the create database command
using the REUSE clause for all files, but I hate including this in a script.
When someone, it might be even be you, inadvertently re-executes the script
all your files might be gone. Not using the REUSE clause will simply cause the
script to fail.

Hi,
I'm running Oracle 8.0.4 on AIX: for one of the
databases, my datafiles got corrupted and I got NO BACKUP& (and
NOARCHIVELOG) :(
SVRMGR> alter database open; ORA-01122:
database file 6 failed verification check ORA-01110:
data file 6: '/data4/test/testdb01.dbf' ORA-01251:
Unknown File Header Version read for file number 6
& no problem& I'm willing to restart, so I want to drop the
whole database and start all over again (using the same

How can I drop this database ???
When I try to do this from "svrmgrl", I get:
"ORA-01109: database not open", duh !
Any ideas
how to proceed ?
Kind regards,
