Thanks Kimberly for correcting me. I had a feeling there was a real reason it was frowned upon in the solaris environment I used to work on (instead of 'just don't do it, I said so') but everything was so overwhemling at that time I just let it go.

We had an issue here where we had the Sun box to except files over 2G but got bitten in the ass quickly by it. We use HP OmniBack to backup all our Unix boxes and the agent on the Sun box could not handle the file size. So there is more then just "Can the OS handle it" to keep into account. Thankfully nothing had written to the extra portion and we were able to shrink it again.

Hi Ron,
do you have large files enabled on your system? What unix are you running? if large files are not enabled you're going to get an error but I can't tell you what it will be.
Boy, autoextend reminds me of a monkey running around in your database. I'd never do that, but it's just my personal preference.

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?
