Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Delete and recreate a database
Ken,
If you are just re-creating the database with the same sid, then you do not need to issue the "ORADIM -delete -sid" command. This command only interfaces with the NT registry to either insert, modify or delete items in the registry.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say " but doesn't seem like anyone else uses this process.".
You are correct, in that Unix DBA's do not need to do this, as the NT registry is specific to NT. Did you mean something else?

Hi,
There has been many questions and answers regarding this topic. I have used oradim -sid -delete then os commands to delete datafiles. Then recreate the db with scripts with no apparent problems. It has worked just fine, but doesn't seem like anyone else uses this process. Is there a preferred method to delete and recreate a database? Am I leaving myself open to other problems using this process?
Thanks,
Ken Hitchcox
