When you're dropping a tablespace it is final. Period!!

If you want to "drop" a tablespace and re-enable it you have to export the tablespace ie. use "Exportable Tablespace" in the export command for Oracle RDBMS. The sort of dirty way is to get a backup of the database WITH the tablespace and THEN export the tablespace and THEN import the tablespace in the current generation of the database.

Hello all,

When a tablespace is dropped, the datafile is left on the disk. What exactly is the drop tablespace command doing, and is there a way to get that datafile and "re-attach" to a new tablespace in some way? For example, creating a tablespace using that datafile, but without wiping it, as the "reuse" clause does?

Thanks,
