IMHO, it depends on the database sizing requirements. I have a 1gb db and the
datafiles range in size from 100mb to 2gb. On the other hand, I have a 800mb db and
the datafiles range in size from 100mb to 10gb. The larger datafiles are used for our
images tablespace (~500gb). 50 x 10gb datafiles is reasonable for a 500gb tablespace.
I couldn't imagine 250 x 2gb datafiles. I like to keep my tablespaces at least 30%
free. It helps me sleep at night :). As for software/hardware not supporting >2gb
filesize, time to upgrade or replace.
