RE: Rename Datafile

On Mon, 7 May 2001,Hillman, Alex scribbled on the wall in glitter crayon:

->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.

Well, the time I tried it, ORACLE didn't like the fact the new file wasn't there first. But that was in version 7.3.2 so maybe in 8x that would work.
