Dear DBAs
Question about alter database rename file '/oldlocation/datafile1' to
'/newlocation/datafile1';
This command ususal to move a datafile to a new location.
In case of rename file, I mean here
'/oldlocation/datafile1' to '/newlocation/newdatafilename'; or
'/oldlocation/datafile1' to '/oldlocation/newdatafilename';
I have never seen anybook mention this
I guess step is
1. shutdown database (normal or immediate)
2. cp /oldlocation/datafile1 /newlocation/newdatafilename or
mv /oldlocation/datafile1 /oldlocation/newdatafilename
3. startup restirct mount;
3 alter database rename file '/oldlocation/datafile1' to
'/newlocation/newdatafilename'; or
'/oldlocation/datafile1' to
'/oldlocation/newdatafilename';
4. check status of v$datafile
5. restart database
Any suggestiion?
