Hi Shabir,

I don't think you can change the location of your controlfiles and datafiles when the database is up and running. If u need the steps of how we normally do it mail me.

For the control files you cannot do that, since Oracle writes all the time to them - datafile headers, archived logs info, etc. Also to move them you have to change the their location in CONTROL_FILES (init.ora file), which requires reboot.

For tablespaces - you cannot move them as well. They are logical structures, not physical. If you mean the datafiles of the tablespaces, then:

1. ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_name OFFLINE;
2. ALTER DATABASE RENAME DATAFILE 'old_path/name.dbf' TO 'new_path/name.dbf';
3. ..... all the tablespace's datafiles .....
4. ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_name ONLINE;

Hope that helps,
