You cannot move the system tablespace, you have to re-create the control files to change the system data file's path. ***************************************************************************************** To move the temp tablespace: create tablespace temp1 datafile 'new_mount_point_data_file_name' size <n>; then ... alter user <username> temporary tablespace temp1; --> for the users that have temporary tablespace temp! then ... drop tablespace temp including contents and datafiles; ******************************************************************************************* To move the undo tablespace: create undo tablespace undotbs2 datafile 'new_mount_point_data_file_name' size <n>; alter system set undo_tablespace=undotbs2; drop tablespace undotbs1 including contents and datafiles; ******************************************************************************************** Cheers Dimitre ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.
