I'm not saying that this is the best way to do that, but here's what we used to do: we added a new data file (let's assume that the first one was 4 GB and another, newly created one 2 GB). Then, when we recreated the database, we have created a single datafile having size of 6 GB. So, perhaps you could consider such an option as well.

hi Littlefoot,

Instead of recreating a new database and creating a datafile with a size of 6GB, i would suggest you to resize the old datafile with a size from 4 GB to 6GB.

hope it is clear.

Balaji

That is another "it depends" kind of question. You can increase the file size, but it is limited by your block size, 4k-16G 8k-32G, 16k-64G, etc. So if you have a large datafile your only option is to add another datafile. If you have the space, you can create (10g and higher) a big-file tablespace (BFT) which can be up to 2^32 * blocksize or 32T for 8k. BFT's can have only 1 datafile.

Cheers,

Jay Caviness
