Hi all,

 (Oracle 7.3.3 Unix)

  A database file has been deleted, and now oracle does no longer want

to start.. I have these messages:

ORA-01157: cannot identify data file 23 - file not found ORA-01110: data file 23: '/bmd/db/bmd_data.dbf'

    I did startup the DB in nomount in order to try alter database drop datafile '/bmd/db/bmd_data.dbf' or
alter database datafile '/bmd/db/bmd_data.dbf' drop

It does not work...............(wrong command). I can't find my Oracle Documentation CD-Rom.......so I don't know what to do now...

 Regards,
