Datafile sizing is also dependent on the size of your db.  I use 10gb datafile size's for a 1tb database.

Generally more smaller data files is better than fewer larger ones.

There is no performance problem with having 10 200Mb data files rather than
1 2gb data file.  In fact, using 10 200mb data files will help a little when
it comes to file locking.

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
