RE: DATAFILE??

I don't know...thought about it, never cared to investigate, never *needed* to know.
But what is Oracle algorithm for disbursing data amongst available datafiles?

I do know that in every shop I've been, if someone (more experienced DBA) accidentally adds a datafile they would just resize it to very small size...the inexperienced DBA (I've done it too) drops that datafiile leaving a hole.

        I guess you are trying to do some load-balansinag and the 5 datafiles are on diferent storage groups? Because I cannot think of another case when datafile matters.

        So I *think* is is possible to track down the datafile by rowid, but is is quite hard work. But even if you find out where do you insert, you do not have _any_ control over this. And since it is only for looking purposes, you may use v$filestat.
