What Happens If You Lost a Data File?
After you shuting down an Oracle database, you accidently deleted a data file
from the operating system. If you try to start the database again you
will get error when Oracle tries to open the database after mounting the database.
The following tutorial examples shows you what will happen if the data file
c:\temp\my_space.dbf is deleted. Oracle can still start the database instance
and mount the database. But it will fail on openning the database as shown
below in a SQL*Plus session:
>sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect SYSTEM/fyicenter AS SYSDBA
SQL> STARTUP
ORACLE instance started.
