We have strict naming conventions for our datafiles. I want to use OMF for two reasons 1. pointer to one location for our datafiles 2. so when I drop tablespaces, the OS file gets dropped. Im hoping to be able to do this, but its not using the db_file_create_dest parameter create tablespace mytablespace 'mytablespace.dbf' size 5m; anyway to do this? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
