Hi, Oracle 8 datafile limits: The maximum number of files at Oracle 8 is OS dependant but usually it's 1022 per tablespace and 65533 per database. As with any program, the values of variables are held in control structures and it's up to the developer to arrive at sensible maximum limits for values in order to save memory and disk. That, in essence, is why Oracle has these limits. If the developers don't set limits then their code is less efficient as a result and that is a "BAD THING" tm.
