Å flytte en datafile fra A til B er ikke noe problem, men hva hvis filnavnet inneholder ny linje eller noen andre sære tegn som kom dit av mistak?

Her vises et eksempel med en datafil i tablespace USERS som må flyttes fra /u04 til /u05.

Begynn med å sjekke hvilket filnummer tablespacen har og ta den offline.

Datafil 8 skal flyttes, det gjør vi i rman.

Dermed er datafilen flyttet på en trygg og hurtig måte! Da gjenstår det å rydde opp, sjekk først at filen er på riktig sted i SQL*PLus.

 
11g SYS@DR1R SQL> SELECT file_id, file_name
                  FROM dba_data_files
                  WHERE tablespace_name = 'USERS';

11g SYS@DR1R SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE users ONLINE;

Fjern filen fra disken ved hjelp av rman.
