Is a database that you are talking about the same as the database that
Sybrand is talking about? It is pretty common for the Oracle
equivalent to an MS database to be a schema. So the correct way on a
unix system would be a "drop user" command, with other commands such
as "drop tablespace including contents and data files" for actually
removing files. But you really should know what you are doing.
Whether the datafile handles are kept open varies by configuration and
versions.
