Oct 22, 2019 at 18:50 comment added Gandolf989 Mustaccio, Before Oracle 10g came out it was common to do warm database backups by putting table spaces into backup mode copying the data files to a backup directory and compressing the files. At that time it was faster to compress files that were less than 30 GB. Plus before 10g, i think, there were limits on data file size. So its not just arbitrary its based on what was done in the past and what the limits had been.
Oct 22, 2019 at 18:32 comment added mustaccio "We agree that datafile max size shouldn't exceed 32 GB" -- who are "we" and why "we" agree on that number? Is it arbitrary? And why are you playing the role of autoextend instead of letting Oracle do that?
