Ugh, never mind my question. 10M != big.

My brain is in first gear today. And the gears are stripped.

That will show you all of the data files in your SYSTEM tablespace.

Which makes me wonder. . . why do you need such a big SYSTEM tablespace? Are people writing stuff to it?

Brian

Sikyala Raquel How do I find out what the size is and add the 10M?

That's because you're trying to shrink the size of an existing data file
that has data in it.

Make sure you provide the whole path to the datafile.

I think the command should be

Alter database datafile 'system01.dbf' resize 10M;

Good luck.

I am trying to resize my system tablespace to at least 10M I tried the
following command and got an error:

alter tablespace system resize datafile 'system01.dbf' size 10M;

What is wrong with this statement? I get this error:

ORA-02142: missing or invalid alter tablespace option
