HELP! users02.dbf file missing, database not starting

571735Jun 9 2007 — edited Jun 9 2007

Hello,

I created a datafile via Enterprise Manager named users02.dbf for the wrong tablespace (SYSAUX instead of USERS); obviously this datafile was empty. When I realized my error I went and deleted the users02.dbf file from my file system and not from Enterprise Manager (I know.. stupid..)

The problem that I'm having now is that oracle will not start because it's missing this file, here is the error message:
SQL> SQL> ALTER DATABASE open
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01113: file 5 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: data file 5:
'/var/backup2/oracle/product/10.2.0/Db_1/oradata/standard/users02.dbf'

I do not hav a backup because it was only a test file.

Which file do I have to modify in order to tell oracle startup NOT to look for users02.dbf ?

I really appreciate your help.

David
