Hi all,

I have a data file of 2G and the free bytes is 1,413,079, the used bytes is only 683,829. I like to resize it. When I issue:
alter database datafile
'/orafs02/oradata/PV_A0725/ld_data05.dbf' resize 1000M, I got:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03297: file contains used data beyond requested RESIZE value

But apparently, the file does NOT contain data beyond 1000M. Am I missing something?

Thank you.

Janet
