Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: RE: Max size of a datafile in oracle
Hi Uma,
The max size of df is decided by the way u respond to the option while installing OS.It clearly asks whether to go for managing larger files(>2GB), while installing.
Suren
2GB size is not oracle limit.... it depends on your OS, but better to have less than 2GB, this will help to manage the datafile

Hi List,
I am not sure whether this question is put or not in the list.
Is there any limit oracle imposes on the size of a datafile.Somebody said it
is 2GB.
Can any one of you tell me the max datafile size possible and also the
oracle recommended size.It is for Oracle 8.1.5.
Thanx
Uma Shankar

Subject: Re: Oracle 8.0.5
If you upgrade to 8, then upgrade to 8.0.6. It's supported, for now.
The best I've heard about Oracle 8i is that it is no buggier than Oracle 8. Of course it's got a bunch more features and those have bugs in them.
I do not have any money making databases running at 8.1.6 yet, as I am using 8.1.6 for reporting and non-critical databases, just to get my feet wet. I'm eagerly awaiting 8.1.7, as the bugs in 8.1.6 which prevent me from running in CBO are slated to be fixed in 8.1.7.
We're a two DBA company and we average opening up two TARs a week,
all on problems with 8.1.6. Because of this, my production databases are *NOT*
going to 8.1.6 anytime soon. If we are forced to upgrade by Oracle Support,
we'll upgrade production databases to 8.0.6 until the glaring problems we face
in 8.1.6 are fixed, at least.
