RE: Starting up Oracle with "missing" datafiles

"alter database datafile '<path and datafile name>' offline drop" of each datafile excluding system ( and I should say rollback ). This is "remove" them from the controlfile and then after opening the database issue a drop tablespace <name of tbsp> including contents <cascade constraints: if you have references through tbsp's>.

Regards.
