Okay, I don't have the manuals with me and can't for the life of me remember the correct syntax to do this...

Is it:

shutdown database
startup no noumt (or startup mount)
alter tablesapce evisions
rename datafile '/full_path/file_name' to '/full_path/new_name';

I'm on 8.1.6 and this complains saying the database isn't open.

It can't be open to rename a datafile...

Thanks,
Joe
