Title: Howto drop a corrupt database ?

Hi,

I'm running Oracle 8.0.4 on AIX: for one of the databases, my datafiles got corrupted and I got NO BACKUP… (and NOARCHIVELOG) :(

SVRMGR> alter database open;
ORA-01122: database file 6 failed verification check
ORA-01110: data file 6: '/data4/test/testdb01.dbf'
ORA-01251: Unknown File Header Version read for file number 6

… no problem… I'm willing to restart, so I want to drop the whole database and start all over again (using the same name).

How can I drop this database ??? 

When I try to do this from "svrmgrl", I get: "ORA-01109: database not open", duh !

Any ideas how to proceed ?

Kind regards,

Gorik
