Hello to you all, first of all, sorry for such a dummy question, but ... I have a small doubt about changing the MAZ SIZE property of a datafile, on a database version 9.2.0.6(Windows 2003 Server): Can I change it with the system online (ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\SOMETHING.DBF' AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1000M MAXSIZE 20000M;)? Or do I have to take any special caution ? On Oracle 10g, I know I can, because I already did it before, but on 9i ... Thanks for all your attention. Best regards, Ricardo.
