Hi All,
In my 10g DB I found files named hc_<sid>.dat in <ORACLE_HOME>\database folder on my W2K box. When I opened the file through text editor it did seem like a binary file containing a line "DO NOT DELETE OR OVERWRITE THIS FILE!!!" in the begining.
Want to know what kind of file is this and what is it's use? Any idea DBAs.......?
