I just sent this to the other list...

Here is a quick script to list the tablespace/datafiles and their higwater marks, as well as generate the resize commands;

--begin script
col blksz new_value blksz noprint;
col tablespace_name for a20 heading "Tablespace|Name";

col file_name for a50 heading "File|Name";
col file_id for 999 heading "File|Id";
col file_size for 999,999.99 heading "File|Size MB";
col file_hw for 999,999.99 heading "HighWater|Size MB";

set linesize 132;
set verify off;

select value blksz from v$parameter where lower(name) = 'db_block_size'; select a.tablespace_name, b.file_name, b.file_id, b.bytes/1024/1024 file_size,
((c.max_blockid+a.blocks) * &blksz)/1024/1024 file_hw
from dba_extents a, dba_data_files b ,
(select file_id, max(block_id) max_blockid from dba_extents group by
file_id) c
where a.file_id=b.file_id
and a.file_id=c.file_id
and a.block_id = c.max_blockid
order by 1,2;

• Create resize file prompt Listing resize commands... prompt

set pagesize 0;
select 'alter database datafile '||''''||b.file_name||''''||' resize '||round(((c.max_blockid+a.blocks) * &blksz)/1024/1024)||'M ;' from dba_extents a, dba_data_files b ,
(select file_id, max(block_id) max_blockid from dba_extents group by
file_id) c
where a.file_id=b.file_id
and a.file_id=c.file_id
and a.block_id = c.max_blockid;

quit
--end script

Hi all,

I have a data file of 2G and the free bytes is 1,413,079, the used bytes is only 683,829. I like to resize it. When I issue:
alter database datafile
'/orafs02/oradata/PV_A0725/ld_data05.dbf' resize 1000M, I got:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03297: file contains used data beyond requested RESIZE value

But apparently, the file does NOT contain data beyond 1000M. Am I missing something?

Thank you.

Janet
