Lesson 05

"The soul should always stand ajar. Ready to welcome the ecstatic experience."

-Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

When I startup my database, I get an error and tells me that one of my datafile is missing. How can I bypass that error and start my database?

 

You need to offline your datafile in order to startup your database:


First start your database with mount option.

SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT


Then offline the missing datafile. You should know the file#. The oracle error message tells you about that file number.

SQL> ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE nn OFFLINE;

Now, you should be able to open your database.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
