Works like a charm. Listen, if you are comfortable re-building your control files, then go ahead and do it. I'm not sure what effect it has if you are running in archivelog mode - are your archived redo logs available for a restore? My guess is not - that your SCN restarts at "1" again. Sooo, whenever you do this, be sure and perform a full backup! hope this helps. Tom Mercadante

Well, I have recieved a server and found some datafiles are reside in System tablespace - in this case to move those datafile we can not put system tablespace offline therefore can not use alter command...

using alter database rename file you can just take the tablespace that owns that datafile offline and do the work. All users who don't need that particular tablespace are not affected.
