    Moving BIGFILE tablespace datafile location

    Hi all,

    A need has arisen to move our BIGFILE tablespace (the actual datafile) from one SAN mount point to another. When it comes to moving the file from one location to another, is it the same procedure as with moving normal datafiles?

    i.e shutting down the db, copying the file to the new location, mounting the db and renaming the file, opening the database.

    Thanks in advance,
    Chucks

    How about adding a big disk and resizing the tablespace?

    You can do that without shutting down the database ( same is true on small files)
    alter tablespace ... offline normal;
    move file
    alter tablespace rename datafile
    alter tablespace online

    Not sure about the exact syntax of rename file

    Cheers
