I have a tablespace with 2 datafiles in my 10.2.0.3 database. Both datafiles are set to autoextend, with a maximum size set to 3G. If I issue "select * from dba_data_files", I see that "bytes" and "maxbytes" are the same value. I know the data in the tables within this tablespace are growing. However, I guess I don't understand, because the appearance is that there is no room for growth. Am I misunderstanding what the "maximum size" means? I though that "maximum size" was the maximum Oracle would allow a datafile to get. Then you tend to see a crash or hang. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance

What size of these files is reported by Solaris?

Solaris is reporting both at 3221233664 bytes, just under 3.1G. However, OEM is reporting the first file at 77.16% used and the second at at 64.03% used.

When using SQL Plus, should I be looking at someplace other than dba_data_files?
