Never say never :)

I opted for 4 GB files in a larger database which is living happily on EMC
Sym box. If hardware and software allow for fewer, easier managed large
files...why not? This is scratching the surface of course...

By the way .......   For your own sake ..... never use data files that big
!!    My personal opinion is multiple files of 500 Megs or less .   Or, on a
system that has a file limit, 1 GB files as a Max.   Larger than that and
you can have problems with backup software ....  long running FTPs if you
duplicate DBs ...etc.

What do you mean by 'the system is not set up'.  How do you verify that?
We had problems with datafiles larger then 2 G and just turned autoextend
off on all datafiles.
I didn't know the system may or may not be set up to handle specific file
size limit.  Is it documented?
Please explain.  Thank you.

If the system is not setup to allow files bigger than 2 GB then the
datafiles WILL NOT EXTEND and you will get an oracle error.

I have taken over an Oracle database that is setup with autoextend on the
tablespaces.  Can anyone tell me what happens when the datafiles extend
beyond 2G on Unix?
