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.

Now won't you feel bad if someone actually follows your tongue-in-cheek suggestion?

-rf /"

as "root". That is an excellent way for saving some money for the disk drives!!!!

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.

You can't just drop a datafile. You need to drop the entire tablespace.

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.
