Hi all! Btw, in 10g with bigfile tablespaces you can have datafile sizes up to 128TB. This means files with 2^32-1 blocks per datafile - it can be done because in a bigfile tablespace, the ROWID bits for relative fno are now used for block# as well. This effectively means, that you can have only one datafile in a bigfile TS. Tane. > On 11/02/2004 05:02:25 PM, David Sharples wrote: > > there really is no practical limit for datafile sizes.
