Hi,

        I may be wrong but....

Oracle suggests that the file should be "COPIED" at OS level before renaming at Oracle level. Here I think is that Datafile is "MOVED" before renaming at Oracle level.

        This is what causing the difference ......

        I am afraid there is solution to this (Media recovery can't be completed)......

        Please go ahead with alternative method.... Or if you would like to wait for some other suggestion.. Any way I'll wait for your final steps and updates too ...

HTH,
Rajesh

Hi All,

Oracle 8 running in Archivelog
One of my coworkers said they did the following:

1. Added a datafile to a tablespace
2. Took datafile offline and renamed at OS
3. ALTER DATABASE RENAME ... to new name
4. Attempted to bring datafile back online and get file needs media recovery.

Tried to alter database recover automatic and other options but does not work.

This is all the info I have does anyone have any suggestions on why it needs
media recovery and how
he can get it back online. We cannot drop the tablespace and rebuild. We
could maybe export all objects in that tablespace then rebuild.

Thanks
Rick
