The Oracle tutorial you are looking at is moving the database files in Oracle. ----Oracle database consists of three files of data files, control files, and online log files. Due to changes in disk space, or database disk I/O
Performance tuning, and so on, the database administrator may consider moving the database files. The following is an example of a UNIX platform that discusses the moving methods of three database files.
----one. Moving data files:
----can move data files using ALTER database,alter tablespace two ways.
----1. ALTER database method;
----Use this method, you can move data files for any tablespace.
----Step 1. Down database:
$ svrmgrl
Svrmgr > CONNECT INTERNAL;
Svrmgr > SHUTDOWN;
Svrmgr > EXIT;
----Step 2. Move data files with operating system commands:
----Move the data file App1_data.ora from the/ora/oracle7/data1 directory to the/ORA/ORACLE7/DATA2 directory:
----$ mv/ora/oracle7/data1/app1_data.ora/ora/oracle7/data2
----Step 3. Mount the database and rename the data file with ALTER DATABASE command:
----$ svrmgrl
Svrmgr > CONNECT INTERNAL;
Svrmgr > STARTUP MOUNT;
Svrmgr > ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE
2 >/ora/oracle7/data1/app1_data.ora to
3 >/ora/oracle7/data2/app1_data.ora;
Step 4. Open database:.
Svrmgr > ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
Svrmgr >select name,status from V$datafile;
----2. ALTER Tablespace Method:
----This method, the data file is required to be neither part of the system table space nor a tablespace containing an active rollback segment or a temporary segment.
----STEP1. Offline the table space in which this data file resides:
$ svrmgrl
Svrmgr > CONNECT INTERNAL;
Svrmgr > ALTER tablespace app1_data OFFLINE;
Svrmgr > EXIT;
STEP2. To move a data file with the operating system command:
App1_data.ora the data file from the/ora/oracle7/
The Data1 directory is moved to the/ORA/ORACLE7/DATA2 directory:
$ mv/ora/oracle7/data1/app1_data.ora/ora/oracle7/data2
STEP3. To change the data file name using the ALTER TABLESPACE command:
$ svrmgrl
Svrmgr > CONNECT INTERNAL;
Svrmgr > ALTER tablespace app1_data RENAME datafile
2 >/ora/oracle7/data 1/app1_data.ora to
3 >/ora/oracle7/data2/app1_data.ora;
STEP4. Put this data file in the Tablespace online:
Svrmgr > ALTER tablespace app1_data ONLINE;
Svrmgr > SELECT name,status from V$datafile;
----two. Mobile Control files:
----control file in INIT. specified in the Ora file. Mobile control files relatively simple, the next database, edit Init.ora, mobile control files, restart
Database.
Step 1. Down database:
$ svrmgrl
Svrmgr > CONNECT INTERNAL;
Svrmgr > SHUTDOWN;
Svrmgr > EXIT;
Step 2: Move the control file with the operating system command.
Ctl3orcl.ora the control file from the/ora/oracle7
The/data1 directory is moved to the/ORA/ORACLE7/DATA2 directory:
$ mv/ora/oracle7/data 1/ctrl3orcl.ora
/ora/oracle7/data2
Step 3. Edit Init.ora File:
Init. Ora files in the $oracle_home/dbs directory,
Modify the parameter "Control_files", which specifies the control file after the move:
Control_files = (/ora/oracle7/data 1/ctrl1orcl.ora,
/ora/oracle7/data1/ctrl2orcl.ora,
/ora/oracle7/data2/ctrl3orcl.ora)
Step 4. To restart the database:
$ svrmgrl
Svrmgr > CONNECT INTERNAL;
Svrmgr > STARTUP;
Svrmgr >select name from V$controlfile;
Svrmgr > EXIT;
----three. Move online log files:
Step 1. To stop a database:
$ svrmgrl
Svrmgr > CONNECT INTERNAL;
Svrmgr > SHUTDOWN;
Svrmgr > EXIT;
Step 2. To move an online log file with the operating system command:
Redolog1.ora an online log file from/ora/oracle7
The/data1 directory is moved to the/ORA/ORACLE7/DATA2 directory:
$ mv/ora/oracle7/data 1/redolog1.ora
/ora/oracle7/data2
Step 3. Mount database, using ALTER DB
command to change the online log file name:.
$ svrmgrl
Svrmgr > CONNECT INTERNAL;
Svrmgr > STARTUP MOUNT CC1;
Svrmgr > ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE
2 >/ora/oracle7/data 1/redolog1.ora to
3 >/ora/oracle7/data 2/redolog1.ora;
Step 4. Restart database:.
Svrmgr > ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
Svrmgr >select member from V$logfile;
<
