I have data files assigned to tablespace. Is it possible for me to drop or reassign or resize these datafiles for this tablspace ? If so how would I able to do it

Here is a query I used to add datafiles

alter tablespace DW add datafile 'E:ORACLEORADATADWTDWTDWAB07.DBF' SIZE 1000M REUSE;

and here is the query I used to find out information about the datafiles for this tablespace

select SUBSTR(file_name,1,50) FILE_NAME, bytes, status, RELATIVE_FNO from dba_data_files where tablespace_name='DW'

FILE_NAME BYTES STATUS RELATIVE_FNO
-------------------------------------------------- ---------- --------- ------------
E:ORACLEORADATADWTDWTDWAB01.DBF 1048576000 AVAILABLE 8
E:ORACLEORADATADWTDWTDWAB02.DBF 1048576000 AVAILABLE 12
E:ORACLEORADATADWTDWTDWAB03.DBF 1048576000 AVAILABLE 14
E:ORACLEORADATADWTDWTDWAB04.DBF 1048576000 AVAILABLE 16
E:ORACLEORADATADWTDWTDWAB05.DBF 1048576000 AVAILABLE 17
E:ORACLEORADATADWTDWTDWAB06.DBF 1048576000 AVAILABLE 18
E:ORACLEORADATADWTDWTDWAB07.DBF 1048576000 AVAILABLE 20

Thanks very much

ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'file' RESIZE 'size' ;
will resize your your datafile.Be watchfull if you are reducing the size if this datafile contains segments or extents owned by database objects.
