Actually, that’s only the case for a 8kb blocksize… 16kb blocksize gets you 
almost to 64GB.

Joe, 32767 MB (or 1MB short of 32GB) is the max size (in MB, anyway) for a 
datafile that isn't defined as a bigfile.

Hello All,
        In this age of arrays, SSD and virtual everything what are people using 
for a maximum data file size on their production systems?

Since the 2GB physical disk limit is no longer with us :)

TIA
Dave
