Hi

I wanted to know that where actually Oracle table files are stored.

For example in Foxpro it is stored in harddisk like (*.DBF) file.

Thanks,
Mitesh

TABLE_NAME                     TABLESPACE_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
EMP                            USERS

FILE_NAME

/u01/app/oracle/oradata/mutation/users01.dbf

Start with the Oracle concepts manual.
All data are stored in datafiles (in hard disk). Ignore the .dbf extension. It can be anything.
These physical datafiles are grouped together by a logical tablespace.
