Hi,

I. RENAME AND OR MOVE DATAFILE(S) WITH THE DATABASE SHUT DOWN :

Oracle 8i/9i datafiles and logfiles :
-------------------------------------

0. select * from v$dbfile;
1. backup your database (cold if possible)
2. shutdown immediate
3. copy files (cp -p /old/dbfile1.bdf /new/dbfile1.bdf)
4. startup mount
5. alter database rename file '/old/dbfile1.bdf' to '/new/dbfile1.bdf';
6. alter database open;
7. select * from v$dbfile;
8.Remove the datafile(s) from the old location at the O/S level.

Oracle9i tempfile :
--------------------
ALTER DATABASE TEMPFILE '/old/tmpfile1.dbf' DROP including datafiles;
ALTER TABLESPACE temps ADD TEMPFILE '/old/tmpfile1.dbf' SIZE xxxM;
select name from v$tempfile;

II. RENAME AND OR MOVE DATAFILE(S) WITH THE DATABASE OPEN

0. Make the tablespace is read only.
1. Copy the datafile(s) to the new location using the operating system copy command.
2. alter the tablespace offline. * At this point the tablespace is not accessible to users.
3. ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE .... for each datafile of the tablespace.
4. ALTER TABLESPACE YOUR_TABLESPACE_NAME ONLINE;
5. ALTER TABLESPACE YOUR_TABLESPACE_NAME READ WRITE;
6. Remove the datafile(s) from the old location at the O/S level.

TO MOVE LOGFILES WHITH DATABASE OPEN :

Hope you have three logfiles groups.

1. add another three logfiles groups ...(4,5,6 in the new location).
alter database add logfile 'location ' size ;
2. check which is the current logfile group. if the current is 1.
3. then drop the logfiles 2 and 3
alter database drop logfile group 2;
alter database drop logfile group 3;
4. create 2 and 3 with the size you need.
5. switch the current logfile.
alter system switch logfile;
6. drop logfile 1

Do this when there is less activities on the database...

you will have all the three logfile groups in the new location you wanted
