    Unless you offline and remove the datafile with a drop command the entry will remain in the data dictionary. Simply removing the datafile will not remove it association with the Oracle database.

    Talking

    as per my knowledge .
    once created datafile cannot be dropped through normal sql syntax . tablespace associated with the datafile can be dropped, which removes the datafile from v$datafile.

    alter database datafile 'xxx' offline drop;

    Or if it is the only datafile in the tablespace,
    Drop tablespace name including contents;

    Pando, what do u mean by 'force to drop entire tablespace'? I agree that offline a datafile means that u may drop the tablespace at a later time and not that U will be forced to drop it.

    Wink


    after droping the datafile . i believe we cannot make it online
    with a similar syntax . only option it leaves is to recover the database if it is in archivelog mode .
    is this syntax valid prior to version 8 .

    I think we moved from the actual question posed. The one line reply is:

    "References to the dropped datafiles are not eliminated from views unless the tablespace in which they exist is recreated or dropped. "

    may?

    no, you are forced to, you cant never ever remove a datafile from a tablespace
