A colleague decided to clear some space from a filesystem and deleted a dbf file. Not surprisingly oracle is bleating about it. How do I fix it? Fortunately the dbf was for temp tables and as far as I can make out nothing was using it anyway. I tried to drop the tablespace but oracle complained that it could not find the datafiles. I know how to create and drop tablespaces etc but I would have thought the first job would be to tell oracle that the temporary tablespace no longer exists before adding it again. Before you ask the answer is "no we don't have any backups or archive logs or exports." :(( Not my fault honest I did not know the machine existed until yesterday when I heard about the problem. It is my job to fix it so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
