Re: all time worst question I have been ever asked as a DBA

Well, you made at least half the list's day with this one. From all of us, 
"thank you"

Subject: all time worst question I have been ever asked as a DBA

 So, I am getting this error on one of our virtual Linux servers:

 ORA-00210: cannot open the specified control file
 ORA-00202: control file: '/u01/app/oracle/datafiles/devdb/control01.ctl'
 ORA-27086: unable to lock file - already in use

 Its probably due to a stale NFS lock. The question from my sys admin:

-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 10076160 Jul 22 13:33 control01.ctl

can that file just be removed


 Ok, I am a little frustrated with him...
