I created a tablespace but there is a space in the datafile how can i change or rename it without dropping or recreating.

SQL> create tablespace  abc datafile 'c:\ abc01.dbf' size 5m;

Tablespace created.

When tried to rename

SQL> alter tablespace abc offline;

Tablespace altered.

SQL> alter tablespace abc rename datafile  'c:\ abc01.dbf' to 'c:\oracle\abc01.dbf' ;
alter tablespace abc rename datafile  'c:\ abc01.dbf' to 'c:\oracle\abc01.dbf'
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01525: error in renaming data files

You have to move the file to its final location between "offline" and "rename".

I'm unable to use CP or MV command on the file name which have space while creating datafile.

$ cp QLINK3_TB_PT_TRANS_LDCONN_L2TS.DBF QLINK3_TB_PT_TRANS_LDCONN_L2TS.DBF.bak
cp: cannot access QLINK3_TB_PT_TRANS_LDCONN_L2TS.DBF

but when i issue the same command on different file name it copy.

$ cp QLINK3_DEL_HISTORY_IDX_TS.DBF QLINK3_DEL_HISTORY_IDX_TS.DBF.bak
$

Either put the filename in quotes or escape the filename

$ touch " test.txt"
$ ls test.txt
ls: cannot access test.txt: No such file or directory
$ ls " test.txt"
 test.txt
$ ls \ test.txt
 test.txt
$ rm \ test.txt
$

Yes for you, I didn't see it is YOUR topic (sorry) but it is not the same question or if it is then you did not read carefully the move command I posted.
