I remember seeing this a few versions back (8i?). I tracked that down to a datafile resize (think I found the ALTER command in the alert log) on the autoextensible file.

Subject: Curious DBA_DATA_FILES results

Oracle 9.2.0.6 <http://9.2.0.6> on Windows 2003. Interesting results from a query for which I would expect to see '0 rows returned'.

There are 2 datafiles for which the autoallocate value of MAXBYTES is less than the actual size of the file, possibly via a resize I imagine.

Anyone else seen this?

A bug perhaps?
