Yesterday I went to add a new datafile and the command failed because I
already had datafiles = db_files value. No problem, I increased the
parameter and waited until this morning since this database is shut down
every night.
I ran the command this morning and discovered that the file was in in fact
created on the OS even though it didn't appear in dba_data_files. The time
stamp on the file was the time I created it yesterday (all other files have
a timestamp of this morning).
I assume I can just either delete this file and reissue the command or issue
the command with the REUSE option? I was about to do that and decided to
double check with the experts :) since I've never encountered the specific
situation before and I still have a week before I really have to worry about
space on this tablespace.
Thanks in advance,
Jay Miller
