Hi List,  

In order to change the SID, we recreated the controlfile but I left 2 dbfiles out - oops!  

Now, Oracle KNOWS about the datafile as its in the dictionary so puts a "MISSING" entry in its place.  

I know there is no data in these dbfiles. What is the easiest way for me to drop them?  

We are on 10g which allows dropping a single dbfile but the status of the dbfile needs to be online?  

Thanks in advance,  

Roger Xu  

P.S.  

SQL> select name, status from v$datafile;
