RE: Rename Datafile

Why not to make tablespace offline, rename datafile in oracle and them use unix mv command to move it? Copy is not good ig there is no space.

nope don't use mv. the database needs to see the old datafile until you rename it. so use cp and then after the rename, rm the old file.
