Re: Oracle's File

Sounds like a replacement of sgadef<SID>.dbf, which has been made obsolete. On most O/Ses a shared memory segment is mapped to or protected by some file. Try to shutdown the database and look whether the file disappears. Don't try to delete it! (In that case you probably will also know).
