Recently a site I am working with either took a disk hit or had a newbie with dba access remove one of the datafiles for the database. The data in the file in unimportant, as I can recreate all the indexes that were once there.

How do I remove the reference to this file so that oracle will start up?

For reference purposes I am getting

ORA_01157: Cannot identify datafile 12: -file not found ORA-01110: DAta file 12; "/h/. . ."

The answer is not in the FAQ and not readily available in the DOC that I have.

Thanks.
