Welcome to this forum.

Please read and follow the forum guidelines, to enable us to help you:

http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/ and read http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/174502/

It depends upon what is to be included & what is not counted against database size.

How will you know when the correct answer has been posted?

SELECT SUM(BYTES) FROM DBA_DATA_FILES; --- provides a number & other queries will produce a different number depending upon which files are included or not.

To add to BlackSwan's post, have a look a dba_data_files, dba_temp_files, v$log, v$standby_log, v$controlfile views in Database Reference.
