On various O/S' such as NT and VMS the O/S is clever enough to detect the files that are being held by another process. So you cannot modify them. Other o/s' such as Unix does not care for such things. This is why you can delete a database file in Unix even though the database is running. But VMS and NT won't allow you to make such a mistake. So it's not a bug it Oracle. It's a feature of the O/S. Yes, I use the word "feature" as I like this behaviour.
