!! Please do not post Off Topic to this List !! Having too many datafiles is not good for performance, updating datafile headers during checkpointing. I disagree, unless you have an unreasonable amount, there is minor almost not noticeable difference. Tests have been done on many databases

!! Please do not post Off Topic to this List !! 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.
