ORA-01178: file 4 created before last CREATE CONTROLFILE, cannot recreate
ORA-01110: data file 4: 'K:\ORAREP92\ORADATA\ORCL10G\USERS01.DBF'

If file 4 is not created before last create controlfile then how would control file know about file 4?

Why the error?

EDIT:sorry for posting again in wrong forum as i visit server adminsitration more.

That's the problem, the file was created BEFORE the last CREATE CONTROLFILE. The "new" controlfile doesn't have sufficient information in it to recover the file. Therefore, you must restore the file from backup and recover from there.

1)Find a backup of the file, and recover it.

Or,
2)Do incomplete recovery to time before file was originally created.

I did not create any new controlfile.

I did create this tablespace later on.

Quote:

That's the problem, the file was created BEFORE the last CREATE CONTROLFILE.

So is for all the tablespaces.

Let me understand it:

1)If a database is created with 4 tablespace and later on if itry to recover any datafile by the empty datafile way,there is no problem
because the controlfile has sufficient information about all the files
2)if i create a database with 4 tablespaces and later on issue create controlfile statement,then neither of the datafiles can be recovered with empty datafile way.
3)if I create a database with 4 tablespaces and issue create controlfile statement and after that create another tablepsace "xyz",then only "xyz" can be recovered with create empty file way.

Is this the way it has to be?

That's strange. What does the following show:

select controlfile_created from v$database;
select creation_time from v$datafile
	where name = 'K:\ORAREP92\ORADATA\ORCL10G\USERS01.DBF';

SQL> select controlfile_created from v$database;

CONTROLFI
---------
12-FEB-08

SQL> select creation_time from v$datafile
  2   where name = 'K:\ORAREP92\ORADATA\ORCL10G\USERS01.DBF';

CREATION_
---------
30-AUG-05

SQL> select created from v$database;

CREATED
---------
12-FEB-08

I don't believe this time .
I don't remember exactly but 12-feb-08 might be when i created the database and hence controlfile.

But 30-AUG-05 is impossible.This database is not that much old.

There is some anomaly with the time.
I shall test some scenarios and see what happens.
