Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: .dbf is a valid name for a datafile name?
In fact, here with Oracle 7.3 we had .dbf for data files, .ora for init.ora
file and other config files, and .trc for trace files, .log for log files,
etc.
With the GUI tools introduced with Oracle 8, the extensions were different
-- .ora for everything it seems to me, but I still prefer the different
extensions for the different file types.
Just my conservative opinion.
Maybe .dbf brings back memories of dBase III+ ?
