You need to copy or move the file to the new disk drive while the database is shutdown. Using sqldba startup mount the database. Issue your alter statement. (I use alter database rename datafile 'old nme' to 'new nme';) After all files are renamed issue alter database open; That's all there is to it.
hope this helps. Dick Allie - dallie_at_ionet.net Received on Tue Oct 01 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
