It works for me on 8i, if resize doesn't work on 10g, atleast rename should work. 14:56:07 SQL> create tablespace test2 datafile '/oracle/TEST//data54/TEST/test2_01.dbf' size 100M; Tablespace created. 14:56:37 SQL> select name from v$datafile where name like '%//%'; NAME ---------------------------------------------------------------------- /oracle/TEST//data54/TEST/test2_01.dbf 14:56:56 SQL> alter database datafile '/oracle/TEST//data54/TEST/test2_01.dbf' resize 200M; Database altered. 14:57:11 SQL> alter tablespace test2 offline; Tablespace altered. 14:57:21 SQL> alter database rename file '/oracle/TEST//data54/TEST/test2_01.dbf' 14:57:38 2 to 14:57:40 3 '/oracle/TEST/data54/TEST/test2_01.dbf'; Database altered. Thanks, Sai http://sai-oracle.blogspot.com * From: "Ram Raman" <veeeraman@xxxxxxxxx> * To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx * Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2006 16:45:14 -0500 Hi, We have a file in a database with two slashes in its name: "/u03//oradbs/abcd/tool_abcd.dbf". I dont know how that file was created, but I inherited that database. The tablespace is full now. I would like to resize the file to a bigger size, but resize command fails with "ORA-01516: nonexistent log file, datafile, or tempfile" I can add a new file, but I prefer straightening out the name of this file. Does anyone know how to rename this file properly with just one "/". Oracle: 10.2 on Solaris 8 Ram. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
