Hi all!
Btw, in 10g with bigfile tablespaces you can have datafile sizes up to 128TB.

This means files with 2^32-1 blocks per datafile - it can be done because in a bigfile tablespace, the ROWID bits for relative fno are now used for block# as well. This effectively means, that you can have only one datafile in a bigfile TS.

Tane.
