Assuming Oracle 9.2 or better and an 8kb block size.  Max file size is
32GB. I believe.

Subject: Datafile sizes



Looking for comments & experiences regarding sizes of datafiles. 

We have a large (6+ TB) OLTP database, which currently has 2300+
datafiles. 
A while ago, we stopped adding datafiles and were exclusively extending
them. 
But we are wondering how far we can/should go, with the size of
individual data files. 
Currently about 30% of the datafiles are at 8 gig. 

BTW - this particular application resides on VMS. 


Any ideas/thoughts/comments would be appreciated. 

Thanks.
