It is identical in both versions.
One other thing to keep in mind. So you don't have to do this
again.
MAXDATAFILES can be set initially to as large as you ever
expect to need it to be
and you can make db_files as big as you need it to be NOW.
Later you can change db_files without having to make a control
file again.
A bigger MAXDATAFILES just means the control file is somewhat
larger
to accomodate the extra slots for potential file names.
Also - you can INCREASE the size of a file these days with
the alter database datafile 'xxxx' resize 9999; command so
if your problem is you keep adding files you can instead
increase their size
as long as the size does not exceed the operating system limit.
Best of luck,
