Determine how much disk space will be required.

SQL> select name from v$database;

Calculate total space for all datafiles within database

SQL> select DF.TOTAL/1048576 "DataFile Size Mb",LOG.TOTAL/1048576 "Redo Log Size

(DF.TOTAL + LOG.TOTAL + CONTROL.TOTAL)/1048576 "Total Size Mb" from dual,(select sum(a.bytes)
TOTAL from dba_data_files a) DF,
(select sum(b.bytes) TOTAL from v$log b) LOG,(select sum((cffsz+1)*cfbsz) TOTAL from x$kcccf
c) CONTROL ;

DataFile Size Mb Redo Log Size Mb

---------------- ----------------
Control File Size Mb Total Size Mb
-------------------- -------------

18.59375 1478.59375

Calculate space for list of datafiles within primary database

SQL> select DF.TOTAL/1048576 "DataFile Size Mb",
