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
