good point! i just changed my redo and control files to the .dbf extension. luckily,
my datafiles were already .dbf.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/31/01 07:30AM >>>
I do not use the CTL extension for database control
files as it is used by sql*loader control files.
I'm using dbf for all data files including data,
indexes, temp or rbs. The naming of the files shows
what the file contains.
I do not think different extensions could lead to
problem but I would change it so the naming is
consistent across all databases.
Have a look at Bill Burke's document Putting OFA on
Steroids at www.oracleguru.com
