Hi Santosh,  

Tablespace is logical storage, datafile is physical storage (OS file). Tablespace must consists of at least 1 datafile.  

Example  

Create tablespace my_tablespace
datafile 'my_tablespace's_datafile1'    

NB: Storage is storing your database objects

Could any body tell me the different between DataFiles and TableSpaces ? Is it that Datafiles are the tables in a Database and Tablespaces are the spaces allocated for each table with Datafiles in that ???

Thanks and regards,

Santosh
