Re: error in the output

Try the same query in SQL*Plus. But before issuing the query, type in the following:

COLUMN bytes FORMAT 999,999,999,999

Then issue the query:

select sum(BYTES) AS bytes from DBA_DATA_FILES;

If that does not give you the correct result, then please explain what you expect to see...

Cheers,
Brian
