Also
note, if you try resizing a datafile smaller than it has ever been, it will
complain.

In
other words, if you have a 500M datafile and used 400M, then drop 300M, you
cannot resize it to 100M.

a datafile to a size below that of the actual data it contains, Oracle will
warn you. Try setting Autoextend on if you're worried about running out of
space on a recently shrunk file; looking at your numbers I'm guessing that you
have plenty of space on the disk. As long as you keep an eye on the datafile
size, it will be fine.

<SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I created a tablespace in
LMT. I created all my datafiles with an extra 64 Kb for the bitmap
index.
<SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">My question is : If I want to
resize my datafile, do I have to keep this extra 64 Kb ?
<SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Example :
datafile size = 500M + 64 Kb = 512064 Kb <SPAN
