Richard,

The problem could simply be spelling or upper/lower case issues.  
Try running the following and see what you get:

select TABLESPACE_NAME, BYTES, BLOCKS from DBA_DATAFILES
/

All,=20

I've got a large (4G.) datafile  let's call him BIG.dbf on one of my =
database servers that I'm not sure what's living in it. =20

I did run the following sql statement:

SQL> select TABLESPACE_NAME, BYTES, BLOCKS from DBA_DATAFILES
    2    where FILE_NAME =3D '/oracle/dbs/BIG.dbf';

no rows selected

Does this mean that this is an empty file?  I'm a little puzzled.

Thanks,=20
