Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Increasing db_files and size of data files

Nov 17, 2020 9:36PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 18 commentsAnswered ✓

Hello,

We're running out number of data files. We currently have 147 data files and db_files is set to 200.

To remedy the issue, I was thinking below, but please review as I'm new to Oracle DB(Oracle 11g 11.2.0.3)

change next additional data file size from 10GB to 30GB. Currently I have been adding 10GB for each data file. Is there any consequence that I have to expect changing the new data file is 3x larger than others?
increase db_files from 200 to 300. How do I do this?? DB shutdonw?
