    - You can enable or disable automatic file extension for existing datafiles, or manually resize a datafile, using the ALTER DATABASE statement.

    - For a bigfile tablespace, you are able to perform these operations using the ALTER TABLESPACE statement.

    - The following example enables automatic extension for a datafile added to the users tablespace:

    ALTER TABLESPACE users
    ADD DATAFILE '/u02/oracle/rbdb1/users03.dbf' SIZE 10M
    AUTOEXTEND ON
    NEXT 512K
    MAXSIZE 250M;

    - NEXT is the minimum size of the increments added to the file when it extends.

    - MAXSIZE is the maximum size to which the file can automatically extend.
