Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Datafile info.
I guess it depends on oracle version (and platform?):
SQL> select file_name from dba_data_files;
FILE_NAME
----D:\ORANT\ORADATA\DDM\SYS1DDM.ORA D:\ORANT\ORADATA\DDM\RBS1DDM.ORA D:\ORANT\ORADATA\DDM\SYSAUX01.ORA D:\ORANT\ORADATA\DDM\RMTL.ORA D:\ORANT\ORADATA\DDM\RMTM.ORA D:\ORANT\ORADATA\DDM\RMTS.ORA
6 rows selected.
Oracle10 on WinXP (and I know, actual file names are not all upper case).

data files are not stored in up case in the data dictionaey
SQL> select file_name from dba_data_files 2 /
FILE_NAME
So your query would return nothing (something you could of checked)
