Jalil,
You
have to remember that some of these commands have been around for awhile.
The "Alter database" command was the *only* way we could move data files in
earlier versions of Oracle. Rebuilding new control files was only
introduced just recently (in 8.0 I believe).
I
still would not rebuild a control file just to move a data file to a new
location. Some of us old codgers are superstitious about these
"new-fangled-ways"!
Hope
this helps

Subject: What is the point to use "alter database rename file" command?Hi list,
What is the point to use "alter database rename file"
command to move datafile? as we will need to update
controle file anyway. So why not do the following directly
to move datafile:
- alter database backup contrlfile to trace and modify
the location of datafile.
- startup nomount and run the script inorder to update
the controlfile. It works fine...So what is the point of "alter database rename file" command?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
-Jalil
