In old 8i version ( I do know it is really obsolete but it is not a choice of mine ), alter datafile does not work, this error is returned: ORA-02490: missing required file size in RESIZE clause Regards Mauro ---

Thanks Mauro. We caught this one after the last beta was made. It will be fixed in T12 GA. **From:** Mauro Papandrea [[mailto:bounce-Mauro\_Papandrea@beta.toadworld.com](mailto:bounce-Mauro_Papandrea@beta.toadworld.com)] **Sent:** Thursday, May 30, 2013 5:01 AM **To:** [toadoraclebeta@beta.toadworld.com](mailto:toadoraclebeta@beta.toadworld.com) **Subject:** [Toad for Oracle - Beta Discussion Forum] A very small issue about datafile resize in old versions In old 8i version ( I do know it is really obsolete but it is not a choice of mine ), alter datafile does not work, this error is returned: ORA-02490: missing required file size in RESIZE clause Regards Mauro
