Due to improper documentations of a certain project, I need to drop a DEFAULT tablespace of a newly created instance including it's associated datafiles by using this command:

"DROP TABLESPACE <tablespace name> INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;"

The default tablespace name is QWER (qwer01.dbf) and I added 2 datafiles in it, re: OPD_SML01.dbf & EXYT_SML01.dbf.

Do I have to do it online or offline?

Many thanks.

Tablespace created.

jw> alter database default tablespace jts;

Database altered.

jw> drop tablespace jts including contents and datafiles;
drop tablespace jts including contents and datafiles
