Search for ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE. However, if there is just one block in use at the end of the file you will not be able to reduce its size.

I tried following statement
alter database datafile '/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/oradb/users01.dbf' resize 900m

but it gives me ORA-03297 even though I increase the size to 10 gig.

Please help

I can't able to understand...

ORA-03297: file contains used data beyond requested RESIZE value 

Cause: Some portion of the file in the region to be trimmed is currently in use by a database object 

Action: Drop or move segments containing extents in this region prior to resizing the file, 
or choose a resize value such that only free space is in the trimmed.

You cannot reduce the size unless you can afford reorg ( export / drop / resize / import ) ..
