- I don't know any way to find the current MAXDATAFILES; however, if you
- want to increase it with out re-creating your database use the
- CREATE CONTROLFILE command to re-create your control files with a larger
- value for MAXDATAFILES. I don't think the command is documented in the
- DBA guide for V6, it was added in 6.0.27 I believe. You will find it
- documented in the readme file in the rdbms directory. Be very careful
- with this command, make sure you have a cold backup of all your database
- files (i.e. redo,control, and data) before using it. Good luck, -d
