I have a datafile called /u09/orac08/devt/db/devlopment_01.dbf. If I want to delete the above mentioned datafile, do I have to delete it from the mount point or just from where the file name starts? I mean should I follow the first example or the second example below
Example 1
-------------
rm /u09/orac08/devt/db/devlopment_01.dbf
Example 2
-----------
rm devt/db/devlopment_01.dbf
NOTE: The mount point /u09/orac08 has many files. The datafile that I want to delete is just one of them

It depends where you are executing the rm command from.
If you are within the dir that the file exists the you can just do:
/u09/orac08/devt/db> rm devlopment_01.dbf
-OR-
if you are at any mount point then this will always work:
rm /u09/orac08/devt/db/devlopment_01.dbf
The best way is to experiment with junk files - good luck.

that's why I said first : that way you don't mind where you are ;)
