Move Datafiles Online 12c

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in Database
As you know Oracle database 12c released Yesterday and we all still test it and learn what are the new features !!

For the first time in Oracle Database you can move objects online without offline or shutdown database which is very useful and helpful for any DBA’s

Check the example below :

SQL> select file_name from dba_data_files ;

FILE_NAME
——————————————————————————–
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/db12c/system01.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/db12c/sysaux01.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/db12c/users01.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/db12c/undotbs01.dbf

Let’s move system01.dbf 
SQL> alter database move datafile ‘/u01/app/oracle/oradata/db12c/system01.dbf’ to ‘/u01/system.dbf’;

SQL> select File_name from dba_data_files ;
FILE_NAME
——————————————————————————–
/u01/system.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/db12c/sysaux01.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/db12c/users01.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/db12c/undotbs01.dbf

Thank you
