    Yes. Or you can get accurate value by
    Code:
    select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 Database_size_GB
    from dba_data_files;

    temp files as well, they dont appear in dba_data_files they are in dba_temp_files - chance are in your case they are small.

    p.s. Redo log seems very small though

    Hope we are talking about database size as is. If its just database size interms of used space it will be different based upon how much room you have left for future data growth.

    Just to say we can have 8 GB tablespace which might have 2GB worth tables.
