We have AIX 5.2 and Oracle 9.2.0.4 and use datafiles which are bigger =
then 2G.
It started when we hit maxdatafile number (200), and since it's =
production 7x24 it's not easy to get permission to bounce the database.=20
So far, we keep them on 2,5GB

Sonja

Not related to AIX5, but I was building a learning 10g database on
RedHat AS 2.1u3  and accepted the defaults for the UNDO retention time.
I started loading  2 years worth of date sensitive data into a
partitioned table and the UNDOTBS grew to 6 gig and filled the disk.=20
Normally there was a 2 gig limit on the datafile sizes and this
supprised me when the disk filled.  Perhaps Oracle has matured more than
we thought.

As long as you have large files enabled you can go much bigger.=20
Certain
Oracle files had 2 gig limits prior to 9i (it could have been 8i but I
skipped this release) but these been lifted.  There used to be a 2 gig
limit
on .dmp files in oracle but this is gone.  I just tested it exp and I
have
been using rman backpieces much bigger than 2 gig since we started on
9i.

Hi All,
The env. is oracle 9.2.0.4 & AIX 5.2L (64 bit)

What is the safe limit for maximum datafile size ?
I see lot of articles about 2GB limitation.

Any advise would be greatly helpful.

Thanks.
Prem.
