that is something I didn't consider, I will look into it further.

Thanks

Is there a reason you can't just resize the existing file?

I am in the process of upgrading our databases from 8.0.5 to 8.1.7,
possibly 9i depending on application
certifications. 

I currently have a tablespace that is made up of 4 - 200mb datafiles, my
first thought would be to
create a 800mb datafile and move all the data into it, 

The growth of this tablespace is maybe 100 to 150Mb a year, and from
what I understand all datafiles should
be the same size.  So at that point when I need another datafile, I will
have to create another 800Mb datafile.

Would that be a good practise, or should I stay with multiple
200/300/400/500 etc datafiles ?

Thanks

Darren
