Hi,

I have oracle 7.3.

when I try to add a data file i have this error:

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01118: cannot add any more database files: limit of 30 exceeded

In my init.ora I changed the parameter:

db_files = 31

I have the same error.

Plz Adv,

Thx

Have you bounced the database after changing the parameter?

And please don't use SMS speak in the forum.

Number of datafiles is limited by:
- db_files
- maxdatafiles given at database creation time.

The second one cannot be modified without recreating the control file.

This thread is not related with main one. I have not experience on oracle7. I think data file max size is OS dependent.

No.

It's due to OS and/or file system restrictions on file size.

Set your db_files parameter to a greater value.
It was at 30 in your previous post, why did you decrease it?
