Subject: datafile permissions

Hi All,  

Sun OS 2.9
oracle 9i  

In what state the datafiles should be when i want to change the OS file permissions from 600 to 640  

chmod 640 *.dbf  

I put the tablespace offline. is that enough?, or should i make the datafiles offline withi  

alter database datafile 'filename' offline;  

I had a fight with my manager. He asked me to put the datafiles offline using alter database. But Just i put the tablespace offline and did that. Just want to make sure what is the right way (precautiion to be taken) for this task ?    

Thanks in advance,
Raj
