Is the requirement that all datafiles be the same size a business
requirement?

I guess that having all datafiles the same size would be useful if you need
to move them to other platters.  Do you have multiple physical devices to
move your datafiles around in?

If you only have a single RAID device then there's no point in moving
datafiles from one logical device to another (since it's all one physical
device).  Therefore I'm not sure that there's much point in keeping
datafiles the same size.

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
