Question about Oracle Datafiles on Solaris

From: kipnukdog <kipnukdog_at_netscape.net>
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2001 10:07:07 -0800
Message-ID: <3ABA3F4B.82FCB75@netscape.net> 






Running Oracle (both 8.0.5 and 8.1.6) on Solaris 2.6 and 2.7
respectively.



I have a very simple question....


When doing a Unix "file" command against Oracle datafiles, some return a
status of "data" , others return a status
of "ASCII text".



Could someone explain this to me, as I don't understand why there is a
difference, and what the difference means, if anything.



Thanks.
