$ oerr ora 01157
01157, 00000, "cannot identify/lock data file %s - see DBWR trace file"
// *Cause: The background process was either unable to find one of the data
// files or failed to lock it because the file was already in use.
// The database will prohibit access to this file but other files will
// be unaffected. However the first instance to open the database will
// need to access all online data files. Accompanying error from the
// operating system describes why the file could not be identified.
// *Action: Have operating system make file available to database. Then either
// open the database or do ALTER SYSTEM CHECK DATAFILES.
Best regards.
Frank

Dropping Oracle datafile! You cannot drop a datafile from oracle..there is not alter database drop datafile or alter tablespace drop datafile...hence you cannot drop a datafile. But there is a work around....
recreate the control file by 'alter database backup controlfile to trace;' this will create a .trc in your user_dump_dest path. Then fire 'shutdown immediate;'
delete your control files or for safety place move them on another location.
then give 'alter database nomount;'
and run the sytax given there after omitting the file that you have deleted.
then give 'alter database mount;'
then give 'alter database recover;'
and then after the recovery is completed give
'alter database open;'

Just as a side note...
Not sure if emadbsb actually said he alter drop datafile!!
However, amadbsh, what Jay said will work, but you will have lost all the information in that file (it will no longer be part of your database)
Instead you may be able to (and I do mean may be) recreate the datafile even if you don't have a backup..
Point 1 - you must have every archive(redolog) file since the datafile was created.
Point 2 - you mush NOT have recreated your controlfile since the datafile was created.
If both those things are true then you can try.
ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE 'filename';
(it will recreate the datafile using information from the controlfile, like it's location, create date and create SCN#)
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER DATAFILE;
(it will apply recovery from the create date SCN# to the current point in time - thats why you need all the redologs and archive logs)
Hope that helps.

Hmmm, not to labour the point, but the OP does not mention the word drop and you pretty much slated him for it. You are the one who mentioned it, and I still disagree with you, you don't drop from the os, you delete it

.he dropped it from the operation system...deleted it

could maybe read
| Quote: |
.he deleted it from the operation system...I guess that's kinda like dropping it even though the op NEVER MENTIONED IT AT ALL so I guess I shouldn't have either. I guess I just got mixed up. Sorry emadbsb

ora-01157-------------
the error states that
ORA-01157 cannot identify/lock datafile string - see DBWR trace file
this occurs when the control file cannot identify the required datafile, so the problem might be of two reasons,
1) Either the control file has been corrupted (or)
2) the datafile has been corrupted
so to resolve this issue try to restore the backup of the datafile and recover the database if the datafile is corrupted
or else
recreate a controlfile with all the datafiles and redo log files at nomount state
sql> startup nomount
sql>CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "indb" NORESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
MAXLOGFILES 16
MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
MAXDATAFILES 100
