How to drop a lost TEMPFILE after failed drive
When a drive fails and you "lose" a tempfile the status in v$tempfile will show
ONLINE:
SQL> select file#,status,name from v$tempfile;
FILE# STATUS NAME
---------- ------- ---------------------------------------------
1 ONLINE /u04/oradata/SINAME/temp01.dbf
2 ONLINE /u02/oradata/SINAME/temp02.dbf
... but dba_temp_files will tell the "real" story:
SQL> select file_name,status from dba_temp_files;
select file_name,status from dba_temp_files
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01187: cannot read from file 201 because it failed verification tests
ORA-01110: data file 201: '/u04/oradata/SINAME/temp01.dbf'
to resolve this issue you can simply drop the missing tempfile without causing
any trouble:
SQL> alter database tempfile '/u04/oradata/SINAME/temp01.dbf' drop;
Database altered.
SQL> select file_name,status from dba_temp_files;
FILE_NAME
---------------------------------
STATUS
---------
/u02/oradata/SINAME/temp02.dbf
AVAILABLE
you then simply add the file back and it gets created:
ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP ADD TEMPFILE
'/u04/oradata/SINAME/temp01.dbf' SIZE 838860800
REUSE AUTOEXTEND OFF;
