Precaution needs to take for online movement of datafile in Oracle Database 12.1.0.2

edited Aug 10, 2020 9:40AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered

Hi Team,

Since 12c onwards, moving datafile from one Filesystem to another is an online activity.

I only wanted to confirm if we need to take any precautionary action before firing alter database move datafile command ?

Also, can we move any datafile be it user/system/temp/audit file or this online movement is specific to user datafiles only ?

Oracle version :: 12.1.0.2

SQL :: ALTER DATABASE MOVE DATAFILE '/u03/oracle/oradata/ATTST/attst_data1.dbf' TO '/u10/attst_data1.dbf';

Please confirm.

Regards,

Pragya Jain
