I lost two datafiles that were in the /tmp directory of a Sun Solaris
2.4 system. I did not know at the time that this directory is never
backed up and is deleted whenever you do a reboot. I did a reboot and
lost everything I had in that directory. I can't start the database
because it keeps looking for the missing datafiles and shuts itself down
when it can't find them. I tried doing a FORCE and RECOVER start but it
had no effect. I don't have a backup with the missing datafiles. Is
there a way to start up the database without those datafiles?
