how to rename a datafile when there is a Question mark in datafile name - Two datafiles with the sam

edited Sep 8, 2012 4:09AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered ✓
 I'm in a peculiar situation where two datafiles are created with the same name. Infact the second datafile has a question mark at the end and so dba_data_files shows as if there are two datafiles with the same name. This is causing problems for me during cloning. How can I rename such a datafile and avoid duplicates. Please see the attachments
[oracle@r12prodb1 upg1]$ ls -ltra *media06*
-rw-r-----. 1 oracle dba 1073750016 Sep  6 11:05 a_media06.dbf
-rw-r-----. 1 oracle dba 2147491840 Sep  6 11:05 a_media06.dbf?

Howdy, Stranger!
