Kishore,

Having too many datafiles is not good for performance,
updating datafile headers during checkpointing.

If you are on 8i you can create a 2GB tablespace, and use
the alter table move command to move all the tables in that tablespace
to the new 2GB tablespace. All associated indexes will become unusable,
so make sure you alter index rebuild ...

If the tablespace has indexes rather than tables then you could
do a alter index rebuild ... to move them to the new tablespace.

If you are not on 8i then you can use export/ import.
Export all tables in the tablespace,
Drop the tables,
Drop the tablespace,
Recreate new tablespace (same name) with single datafile,
Import all tables

Regards
Suhen

Hello DBAs

I  have a tablespace , who has 10 datafiles of 200MB
each, it was here before I even joined. I was thinking
for the contention and want to combine them all to one
single large datafile of 2gig.

How do I get rid off all those datafiles and ghet them
in one large datafiles??

Any help in this regard

Thank you very much

Kishore
