Rick - Here is the way I see it: Larger file sizes - Fewer files to manage. - May exceed O.S. limits (be careful on WinNT)
Smaller file sizes - More flexible, can just back up or move a single file. - Fewer tables per file, may be easier on tablespace recovery. Dennis Williams DBA, 40%OCP Lifetouch, Inc.

Hi DBAs, Oracle 8.1.7 WinNT I would like pros/cons on datafile sizes. It is better to have more of less size or less with larger sizes and why?
