2 datafiles with how much contents, and how big compared to the rest of the
database?
Now those 2 datafiles are all of one or two tablespaces, and if you can make
do with just the contents of those two tablespaces from the production
database with no referential integrity problems or things out of balance
type issues, you might consider just sqlplus copy or unload script - > loader
or exp/imp of just the objects in the tablespaces affected by the loss of
those two files.
If there are integrity issues, by all means re-clone production, but if not,
it is possible you 'll do a lot less work by just getting back what you lost.

Subject: doh! stupid datafiles
Running 8.1.7 on Solaris 8. Yesterday I deleted 2 datafiles, luckily
in a non-production environment. However, this system does not get
backed up. Im thinking I am most likely stuck recreating this
database from the production instance. is this my only option, and
what is the doc id in metalink that can walk me through this.
