Hi list,
What is the point to use "alter database rename file" command to move datafile? as we will need to update controle file anyway. So why not do the following directly to move datafile:

alter database backup contrlfile to trace and modify the location of datafile.
startup nomount and run the script inorder to update the controlfile. It works fine...

So what is the point of "alter database rename file" command?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
-Jalil
