Problem with deleting .dmp file
Hi, everybody!
I have a big problem. I don't understand Unix, but I work as a system administrator, and sometimes I make some data exports and I have to delete old .dmp files, but today I had a mistake, I wrote rm * 909*
This is a part of my folder contents in unix before deleting
Code:
drwxrwxr-x 2 oracle dba 1024 Sep 15 10:49 .
drwxr-xrwx 6 oracle dba 1024 Dec 6 2010 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 1005568000 Sep 12 08:38 XX_20110909.dmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 81120256 Sep 12 08:42 YY_20110909.dmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 580651008 Sep 14 08:32 XX_20110914.dmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 580096000 Sep 15 10:51 YY_20110915.dmp
-rw------- 1 oracle dba 522096 Nov 5 2010 core
oracle@ZZ-dbux:/oracle/exp/myfolder$ rm * 909*
rm: 909* non-existent

Then I wrote ll command and I found only these rows
Code:
drwxrwxr-x 2 oracle dba 1024 Sep 15 10:49 .
drwxr-xrwx 6 oracle dba 1024 Dec 6 2010 ..

I have no idea what is the role of the last row. What do it?

dba_open

DBA_OPEN(3)								 1							       DBA_OPEN(3)

dba_open - Open database

SYNOPSIS

       resource dba_open (string  $path, string  $mode, [string  $handler], [mixed  $...])

DESCRIPTION

       dba_open(3) establishes a database instance for $path with $mode using $handler.

PARAMETERS

	      o $path
		- Commonly a regular path in your filesystem.

	      o $mode
		-  It is r for read access, w for read/write access to an already existing database, c for read/write access and database creation
		if it doesn't currently exist, and n for create, truncate and read/write access. The database is  created  in  BTree  mode,  other
		modes (like Hash or Queue) are not supported.  Additionally you can set the database lock method with the next char. Use l to lock
		the database with a .lck file or d to lock the databasefile itself. It is important that all of your applications do this  consis-
		tently.   If you want to test the access and do not want to wait for the lock you can add t as third character. When you are abso-
		lutely sure that you do not require database locking you can do so by using - instead of l or d. When none of d, l or -  is  used,
		dba will lock on the database file as it would with d.

	      Note

		      There  can  only	be  one  writer for one database file. When you use dba on a web server and more than one request requires
		     write operations they can only be done one after another. Also read during write is not allowed. The dba extension uses locks
		     to prevent this. See the following table:

		     DBA locking
