A have another question, what You mean about tablespace, or in another way: can I place in one raw partition all *.dbf files from database I'm going to create, or I must create separate raw partitions for each dbf (system01.dbf, tools.dbf, rbs.dbf etc.) separatelly, I mean one raw partition for one dbf file.
