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.

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.

Well, if a total newbie is given root access to production machines then my
suggestion will actually help them streamline their operating procedures
and find flaws in their administration principles. Actually, you might say
that if there is a company which has a person of the right mindset to follow
my advice and if that person has root access to production machines, my
advice
will probably help them straighten out their biggest mistake - being in the 
business in the first place. As a DBA and a gentleman I can not but take
pride 
in helping people to stop making mistakes.

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.

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
