Bytes and Maxsize in dba_data_files

in Database Administration (MOSC) 11 comments

Hi,

I usually get confused with Bytes and MaxBytes in dba_data_files and was wondering if I can get some clarity.

In my database, I have a development.dbf file set to 1130mb in size. The Maxbytes is 65536mb and autoextensible is set to "ON" and INCREMENT_BY is set to 5mb. In regards to the development.dbf file, 968mb is already used. Would I need to manually increase the data file or will it automatically increase?

Howdy, Stranger!
