Removing an instance

495403Feb 10 2009 — edited Feb 10 2009
Hi,

I have a test server with two oracle instances. I do want to remove one of them.

My first step was to execute a DROP DATABASE command in RMAN. This removed the database but did not removed the associated services.

Then, I discovered I could have used the DB Configuration Assistant (which should also remove the associated services). Now I try to remove the database through the use of the DBCA, but it says it cannot find the spfile for the database.

Does anyone have any idea on what I should do to remove the remaining services and files?

Thanks
