You can resize a datafile manually with: ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE '/u01/path/to/datafile' RESIZE 2000M;

You can resize a datafile down to a smaller size too, as long as there are no extents occupying that space yet.

Was this feature available in 8.0.5? Absolutely.

DBA studio (8.1.7) has a feature which allows you to increase the size of a data file. I've tried it on an 8.1.7 database and it seems to work.

What is the equivalent SQL?
The closest I can find in the manual is
ALTER TABLESPACE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT <nn>; or
ALTER TABLESPACE AUTOEXTEND MAXSIZE <nn>;

Was this feature available in 8.0.5?
