Dear All,
When I tried to move a datafile from one place to another it throwed the below error.First I made the tablespace users offline and tried the below steps.I wonder whether i need to shutdown the database or i can move it without shutdown.Waiting for your kind suggestion.


SQL> SELECT FILE_NAME,TABLESPACE_NAME FROM DBA_DATA_FILES WHERE TABLESPACE_NAME
='USERS';

FILE_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TABLESPACE_NAME

D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\ORCL\USERS01.DBF

ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE 'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\ORCL\USERS01.DBF' T
O 'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\USERS01.DBF'

hi hammer,
did you performed OS copy of the datafile?

1) take the tablespace offline
2) copy the file to new location (if it is renaming, change the file name)
3) issue rename command
4) make tablespace online.

Dear All,
I think i am missing something.why the below error is throwed when we try to change the location of the datafile.
@mymailbox.21,
even it is trying to access 'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\ORCL\USERS01.DBF' but it is not available. 


The datafile is available in the path which i have mentioned.

SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE USERS OFFLINE;

Tablespace altered.

'USERS';

The error message tells you the problem:

ORA-01141: error renaming data file 4 - new file
'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\USERS01.DBF' not found

You need to do an O/S copy of the file to D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\USERS01.DBF before you can rename it in Oracle. Oracle does not copy the file for you.
