Is is possible to create a tablespace without datafiles.If I have a tablespace with only one datafile is it possible to drop it.
I am faced with a situation were I have a tablespace with no datafile in it.What could be the reason?

I think is not possible to have a tablespace without datafiles. Maybe you have a nonexistent file (erased by the SO) associated. Is Your database working?.

hi,

If you have tablespace with no datafile then what is the use of tablespace ....

By the way this is the SQL by which you can see which datafile is attached with your tablespace.

SQL> select FILE_NAME,TABLESPACE_NAME from dba_data_files;

And if you dont have any datafile attached with the tablespace then make that tablespace offline ... Wink

SQL>ALTER TABLESPACE <tablespace name> OFFLINE;

Then create new tablespace with datafile attached with it...

Note:-SYSTEM TABLESPACE CANNOT BE TAKEN OFFLINE.
