I would take a look at my controlfile first. Issue a "alter database backup
controlfile to trace;".
Take a look at two things:
1. What is your maxdatafiles set to?
2. Does this new datafile appear in the datafile list?
If it doesn't, I would not delete this datafile, but just rename it so you
could always go back to it. Reissue your add datafile command and see what
happens. If anything gets screwed up, you can always rename your renamed
datafile back.
HTH,
Jim

Yesterday I went to add a new datafile and the command failed because I
already had datafiles = db_files value. No problem, I increased the
parameter and waited until this morning since this database is shut down
every night.
I ran the command this morning and discovered that the file was in in fact
created on the OS even though it didn't appear in dba_data_files. The time
stamp on the file was the time I created it yesterday (all other files have
a timestamp of this morning).
I assume I can just either delete this file and reissue the command or issue
the command with the REUSE option? I was about to do that and decided to
double check with the experts :) since I've never encountered the specific
situation before and I still have a week before I really have to worry about
space on this tablespace.
Thanks in advance,
Jay Miller
