Sure have. If you're a user of OEM and set the autoextend parameter on it defaults to KBYTES. Now if the datafile is > than whatever in KBYTES then Oracle won't complain, but won't do anything either. Have done that several times. Rather embarrassing, especially in the middle of the day.=20

Subject: Curious DBA_DATA_FILES results

Oracle 9.2.0.6 <http://9.2.0.6> on Windows 2003. Interesting results from a query for which I would expect to see '0 rows returned'.

There are 2 datafiles for which the autoallocate value of MAXBYTES is less than the actual size of the file, possibly via a resize I imagine.

Anyone else seen this?

A bug perhaps?
