I ass|u|me you are talking windows here. The access rights are not for you,
but for the service.  Go into the services startup/shutdown window and
change the service to start as an account that has network rights to the
mount point.  I believe the services default to the "system account"
whatever that is, and which has never worked for me.  (see metalink doc#
211532.1 or do a metalink search on both your error numbers ORA-27040 &
OSD-04002 )

Now for the issue of networked database files.  I haven't looked at this
issue in 5+ years but the way it used to work was that when a commit,
checkpoint, etc. occurs that requires a guaranteed write to disk, Oracle
does a "flush buffer" or some call like that in "c" (sorry, to long since I
wrote "c" to remember) and the issue is that the call they use was/is not
guaranteed over network drives.  So you are running a risk of a corrupted
database if some anomaly happens.  Now hardware and networking have come a
long way over the years and I'm sure there are configurations that handle
this just fine.  So you have to ask yourself, "does yours?".

Guys,

the env. is 8.1.6/win2k.

SQL > alter tablespace test add datafile
'\\192.168.17.111\shared\test.dbf' size 100m;

ORA-01119: error in creating database file
'\\192.168.0.111\shared\test.dbf'
ORA-27040: skgfrcre: create error, unable to create file
OSD-04002: cannot open file.
O/S-Error: (OS 5) access denied.

But i have all access/permission to this drive.
i mapped this shared network drive and then tried once again.
even then i get the same error.


Is it possible to create a tablespace with datafile residing in a
shared network drive ??

TIA.

Prem.
