Miss db files

Hi List,

 

In order to change the SID, we recreated the controlfile but I left 2
dbfiles out - oops!

 

Now, Oracle KNOWS about the datafile as its in the dictionary so puts a
"MISSING" entry in its place.

 

I know there is no data in these dbfiles. What is the easiest way for me
to drop them?

 

We are on 10g which allows dropping a single dbfile but the status of
the dbfile needs to be online?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Roger Xu

 

P.S.
