While in mount mode, move the OS file to the newly name file. And then the rename command will work. The message is correct. Until renamed at OS level, the file does not exist.

Are you sure that there are no hidden characters in that filename.

you may want to run the following query: select ':'||file_name||':' from dba_data_files where tablespace_name='TOOLS';

Thanks,

Thanks. It does not work for me:

16:57:29 SQL> alter tablespace TOOLS rename datafile
'/u03//oradbs/abcd/tool_abcd.dbf' to

17:08:51 2 '/u03/oradbs/abcd/tool_abcd.dbf'; alter tablespace TOOLS rename datafile
'/u03//oradbs/abcd/tool_abcd.dbf' to

*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01525: error in renaming data files

17:13:46 SQL> select FILE_NAME from dba_data_files 17:13:54 2 where TABLESPACE_NAME = 'TOOLS';

FILE_NAME

/u03//oradbs/abcd/tool_abcd.dbf

It works for me on 8i, if resize doesn't work on 10g, atleast rename should work.

Hi,

    We have a file in a database with two slashes in its     name:
    "/u03//oradbs/abcd/tool_abcd.dbf". I dont know how     that file was created,
    but I inherited that database. The tablespace is full     now. I would like to
    resize the file to a bigger size, but resize command     fails with

"ORA-01516: nonexistent log file, datafile, or tempfile"

I can add a new file, but I prefer straightening out the name of this
file. Does anyone know how to rename this file properly with just one "/".

Oracle: 10.2 on Solaris 8

Ram.
