RE: Wish to delete empty datafile

the only way to remove all references of a datafile (physically and from the dictionary) is by recreating the tablespace.

Hello,

I want to confirm a dataset is empty, and drop it from the database. Does someone have a query showing a dataset is unused, that is to say, contains no data whatsoever.

I have just finished reducing a production database to a test/development size (many thanks Joe!, Eric, and the list). I reduced it so much, I'm able to delete a user02.dbf dataset (after I confirm it is empty).

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks, Linda
