Before you do the rename command, do :

1-shutdown immediate
2-startup mount
3-move the file at the OS level to what you want the new name to be <<db

must be in mount mode>>
4-then issue "alter database rename file "/u03//..." to "/u03/...";

Thanks. It does not work for me:

16:57:29 SQL> alter tablespace TOOLS rename datafile '/u03//oradbs/abcd/tool_abcd.dbf' to
17:08:51 2 '/u03/oradbs/abcd/tool_abcd.dbf'; alter tablespace TOOLS rename datafile '/u03//oradbs/abcd/tool_abcd.dbf' to
*

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01525: error in renaming data files
ORA-01522: file '/u03//oradbs/abcd/tool_abcd.dbf' to be renamed does not exist

17:13:46 SQL> select FILE_NAME from dba_data_files 17:13:54 2 where TABLESPACE_NAME = 'TOOLS';

FILE_NAME

/u03//oradbs/abcd/tool_abcd.dbf

	Hi,
	
	
	We have a file in a database with two slashes in its
	name:
	"/u03//oradbs/abcd/tool_abcd.dbf". I dont know how
	that file was created,
	but I inherited that database. The tablespace is full 
	now. I would like to
	resize the file to a bigger size, but resize command
	fails with
	
	
	"ORA-01516: nonexistent log file, datafile, or
	tempfile"
	
	
	I can add a new file, but I prefer straightening out 
	the name of this
	file. Does anyone know how to rename this file
	properly with just one "/".
	
	
	Oracle: 10.2 on Solaris 8
	
	
	Ram.
