The datafile is probably 'OPEN'. Oracle will not see the difference until you bounce the instance.

Hi all:

I have been testing backups against Oracle9 db. I have renamed a datafile from file.dbf to file.dbf2. Then I ran a checkpoint expecting it to fail, but it didn't. I have done that several time without getting any warning from checkpoint. I though that checkpoint should 'touch" all the datafile and notice that one of them is missing. am I wrong?

thanks

Gene
