When you're dropping a tablespace it is final. Period!! If you want to "drop" a tablespace and re-enable it you have to export the tablespace ie. use "Exportable Tablespace" in the export command for Oracle RDBMS.
The sort of dirty way is to get a backup of the database WITH the tablespace and THEN export the tablespace and THEN import the tablespace in the current generation of the database.

What exactly is the drop tablespace command doing, and is there a way to get that datafile and "re-attach" to a new tablespace in some way? For example, creating a tablespace using that datafile, but without wiping it, as the "reuse" clause does?
