Try to create controlfile. I see at as the only possible solution. Look up command
create controlfile. If it doesn't work, your database is lost, sorry. I mean, if db1.dbf doesn't belong to
SYSTEM tablespace, you can drop this file and pray, but it looks like the datafile backup was taken
after controlfile backup. Received on Mon Feb 26 2001 - 22:02:32 CST
